Eheim 1260 Pin Wheel impeller Deltec AP 702 Ideas

I am looking either for a replacement impeller or even just the pin wheel for the impeller for a Deltec AP 702 skimmer. Maybe someone out there has a 3D printed pin wheel for the impeller. Alternatively I am looking to replace the Eheim pumps with another external pump. A DC pump would be my preference but really doesn't matter. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I found a 3D model of the impeller. A friend of mine just ordered a 3D printer. I will give that a try. Cheaper than replacing the pumps.

I found impellers for this skimmer. I am not sure if I will keep this as a backup or sell it. Great skimmer.

I have two. Great skimmer. I did find the impellers. Purring like a kitten. I should get many more years out of the skimmer.
