Bracket for 4mm Fridge Glass Corner

thingiverse

One of the brackets holding the glass plate in my fridge broke. I did not find a fitting spare part so I designed my own. I took the damaged bracket of my "Privileg" Fridge and modeled a replacement for this part. Although this bracket was designed for this particular fridge, it may also fit into several other brands and models. I printed it standing upright as seen in the Cura screenshot. Maybe you have to adjust orientation in your slicing software. Sliced it with Cura, printed on an Anet A8. My printer managed this print using only a skirt and without any supports. If you want to be on the safe side, esp. with the round part at the bottom, you may use supports, touching buildplate. I used 33% infill, let´s see how long the part survives in my fridge. If it breaks, I´ll try again with a higher infill percentage. I did this print in PLA without size adjustments. In case you find this thing useful, consider giving it a like. If you make one, consider posting a make. Thank you. UPDATE 2018 08 07 When I replaced the broken bracket in my fridge, I had a look at the rest of the brackets. Two more were cracked, close to breaking. I noticed that they all failed in the same weak spot, between the glass and the big indent on the side. In my opinion this indent is only needed for technical reasons when the original part is injection-moulded. I removed the indent from my drawing. I also discovered a minor flaw in my first drawing and removed the STL files for the left and right bracket. Now there´s only one STL file, the resulting part should be far stronger and can be used on either side of the glass. I´m printing the new version right now, I will upload a photo tomorrow when it´s tested.
