Clothes Dryer Foot

thingiverse

Foot for clothes dryer. Fits my Whirlpool Duet dryer, and will fit many other brands. It will fit if: 1) the hole in the sheetmetal is about 18 or 19mm, and, 2) the thread pitch is .125" (3.175mm). When printing, ROTATE the part upright. Supports NOT needed (worst-case overhang angle is 45°). Prefer HIGHER temperature for added strength (205°C). 40% INFILL or more (it needs to be strong). WRENCH needed (if you've got weak hands) is 3/4" (19.05mm). I put about 250lbs on a single foot (my butt, 1/4 of the dryer weight, and me bouncing up and down); it held no problem in PLA. Print 4 of them to get 4 foots. If you use this successfully, please put in dryer model#. USE your brain and think about how it would fall if the PLA collapses. All the weight is on a single thread. I designed the threads to be strong (look at the thread profile to see this), and it is pretty good, and dryers are not particularly heavy, but use your brain if you stack stuff on top of your dryer.
