Dreame W10 mop pad drill adapter (#P44)

Super quick and silly STL file for today: Don’t you hate it when your round mopping pads for the Dreame W10 (/Pro) cleaning robot are still dripping wet after the robot “dries” them by spinning them around for a bit? Don’t you think the automatic air dry function where it blows warm air over it, wasting 50 Watts of power for literal hours, is the most infuriating quirk of the entire system?
Don’t you worry any longer! Spin it yourself! Dry it with the power of the over-9000-RPMs! :D

In all seriousness, the warm air dry function is a joke and not being able to deactivate it completely is the single most annoying thing of their stupid software. And letting them rot (and stink) is also not an option, since a new pair of these retails for almost 30€ in Germany. (Ali ~15€ for “genuine” ones, maybe worth a shot)

I usually take them out right away, and previously I rubbed them a bit more dry on a used towel waiting for the next washing cycle. Sit them upright and let ’em air dry for the rest of it.
Nowadays, I take them for a quick spin on the cordless drill using this adapter ;)

The dry mop is around 65ish grams (a pack of these DRE-RVM0 is said to weigh 129 grams), and the cleaned mop straight from the unit is in the 90-95g range. After a quick spin, not too long and not even on the highest RPMs, it’s down to 80g. Air dries just fine, like with the towel method, just quicker. Currently my urge to build a dedicated/standalone machine doing rotary drying without a drill attached is quite low, but not zero…

Don’t run the mops in free air, their pentagon-shaped socket is spring-loaded and so they might just take off unexpectedly. Since furthermore water is expected to fly off in every direction, I usually spin them up in the shower next to a tile (very close, but not touching it – I’m trying to dry, not to polish)

STL can be had here, or on thingiverse/thing:6743351
Print with loads of walls or high infill – having layer lines perpendicular to the load has not been an issue, the prototype in PLA has been in weekly use for three months now. Once that one breaks, I’ll probably print again in PETG – or maybe Silk TPU for a more snug fit?
