Shark S8201EU – Velcro Holder Replacement

Unfortunately, Shark does not sell these fastening blocks individually. The manufacturer only offers the complete rotating disc assembly as a replacement part. Individual blocks can occasionally be found second-hand on platforms such as eBay, but availability is limited. This model provides an alternative solution - repair the existing rotating discs without having to purchase the complete assembly. This model is a replacement for the original plastic velcro blocks used to attach mop pads to the rotating discs of the Shark Steam & Scrub mops (my specific version is S8201EU). The original fastening blocks on my mop were severely damaged after the mop had accidentally been operated without mop pads. The plastic hook surfaces were broken, crushed and partially torn off, making it impossible to properly attach the mop pads. Print settings & instalation: - I used the default 0.2 mm Structural print profile for ABS with automatic tree supports enabled. No special support settings are required.

- The printed blocks do not need extensive post-processing. Simply remove the supports and clean up the retaining clips to ensure they can snap securely into place. Minor support marks elsewhere are not an issue.

- Apply self-adhesive Velcro to the top surface of each block. I used inexpensive self-adhesive Velcro pads purchased from Temu.

- Simply snap the replacement blocks back into the original holders. They should click securely into place.

A Small Disclaimer Unfortunately, I cannot say how long this replacement will last under exposure to steam. I hope the heat from the steam won't damage the adhesive or the bond after just a few cleaning sessions. I hope this replacement will be useful to others facing the same problem.
