Swiffer Duster Extension Pole Adapter

My wife wanted me to make a handle extension for her Swiffer Duster - something that would let her reach some windows in our stairway. In the old days, I would have just duct taped the Swiffer to a pole, but what fun is that? Choosing a more elegant solution, I thought the easiest way to do this would be to just make an adapter between a standard broom handle or paint roller extension pole, and the duster head - that way, the length of pole can be whatever pole you already have around your house - in my case, I used a broom handle. I found someone had already made the female part (screw threads) for an extension handle (thanks for doing that), so I remixed that and added the Swiffer part in TinkerCad. I put it all together in such a way that it can be printed vertically with no supports, but to make it more stable when printing, I added some small tabs on the bottom that simply need to be snipped off when the print is done.

Printed using PLA on an Anycubic Mega printer. The version shown in the photo isn't the final design, but it works and I didn't feel like reprinting it - I made a few minor improvements to the STL file before publishing it here.
