Microwave Turntable - Plate Turner

thingiverse

This is a replacement part I designed for a friend of mine. It fits a Panasonic NN-ST657W microwave oven. The outer diameter of the ring is 255mm and can accept plastic wheels of 6mm inner diameter. I used the original wheels off the original broken part. You will need to print 3 of these and join them together. I placed 2 parts together and melted just using a lighter and then smoothing the parts together until they cooled and became solid. Very strong joint. As for the wheels, I placed the plastic wheel over the rod and melted the rod with a cigarette lighter and then pushed the plastic so as to deform it in a way that would stop the wheel from coming off but still allow it to spin. Instructions I printed this on my Flashforge Dreamer with the following: ABS 100% infill 0.3mm layer height 90mm/s ABS @ 235C Bed @105C I printed 3 of these to make a complete 255mm circle. Join the parts by melting and then squishing together. So far the part has been put in use in the microwave for up to 10 minutes non-stop and produces no smell and the part is still cold after 10 minutes. I'm not sure how PLA would go?
