Dishwasher Dirty/Clean Indicator (Kenmore Elite dishwasher) - Stainless steel

thingiverse

In a busy household with crazy schedules, sometimes it is difficult to know whether the dishwasher is clean or dirty. Unfortunately, the typical solution of using a magnet on the front that indicates clean/dirty does not work because a magnet does not stick to stainless steel. I was trying to think of an idea that would clip to the dishwasher and stumbled upon TechShopJim's design to use a clip on the dishwasher door. I love the design and decided to create something similar that would fit my Kenmore Elite dishwasher door thickness of 54mm. I printed this using ABS on my Printrbot Metal Plus with support enabled without any issues. The support broke away easily. Instructions My dishwasher's door is approximately 54mm thick and the model is about 20mm wide. I found this slips easily on to my dishwasher and stays in place. Before I print a large model that takes 30+ minutes, I always model a small prototype that verifies any dimensions so I can quickly iterate and get the model just right. I've also included the test clip so you can test for a fit on your dishwasher before printing full model.
