Dishwasher Cutlery Basket Base for Hotpoint

thingiverse

I am now on my 3rd Dishwasher Cutlery Basket for my dishwasher and I simply refuse the buy a 4th even though they are now only £16. Since it is always the bases that break I thought I would 3d print some reinforcement plates. There are some already on Thingiverse but there were two issues, 1) finding the correct size, 2) the basic design can be difficult to print as small unsupported circles sit independently on the bed until about half way through the print when they start to join each other. These tend to want to lift from the bed. With this design there is a thin crisscross design that holds these in place without using printing supports. Finished size is 68 x 52 x 7mm and drop down into the original sections of the basket.You will need to print 4 of them, one for each section. Tested in ABS on the hottest wash (65c intensive) there are no issues. EDIT: I've now tested PLA and there are also no issues with this material Should be suitable for the following model numbers according to the Hotpoint site: AS100 AS150 AS150X BCI45 BCI450 BCI450CE CISLI420 CISLI420C CISLI420CHA CISLI460ACHA CISLI470ACHA CISLI480A CISLI480AC CISLI480ACHA DC27P DC28N DC28P DC28S LD44EU LD44EUC LD44EUCHA LI42 LI420 LI420C LI420CHA LI425CHA LI45UK LI46 LI460 LI460C LI460CHA LI470AC LI470ACHA LI480A LI480AC LI480ACHA LI485ACHA LI48A LL40EU LL40EUC LL40EUCHA LL420FR LL42AG LL42AUSC LL42EU LL42EUC LL42EUCHA LL42SK LL42SKC LL42SKCHA LL430FR LL430FRC LL430FRCHA LL430XFR LL430XFRCHA LL43SEU LL43SEUC LL43SEUCHA LL43XAUSC LL440FR LS240EU LS2410 LS2410UK LS2430 LS244FR LS2450A LS2450ST LS2450UK LS245EU LS245SK LS2480EST LS248T LS248TXEU LSI41 LSI4550UK LSI46 LSI48A LSV46ABK LSV46ABR LSV46AWH LSV46BK LSV46BR LSV46WH LV460AALU LV460ABK LV460ABKC LV460ABKCHA LV460AIX LV460AIXC LV460AIXCHA LV460AWH LV460AWHC LV460AWHCHA LV460BK LV460BKC LV460BKCHA LV460IX LV460IXC LV460WH LV460WHC LV460WHCHA LV465ABKCHA LV465AIXHA LV465AWHCHA LV465IXCHA LV46AALU LV46ABK LV46AIX LV46AOW LV46AWH LV46BK LV46IX LV46WH SDW60P SDW60PC SDW80G SDW80GC SDW80P SDW80PC SDW80T SDW85A SDW85AC
