Miele G2143SC Dishwasher Top Rack Wheel Stop Clip 2154400 Replacement

thingiverse

Our dishwasher clip not only broke, but vanished as well. I remember trying to find one on the web before, but decided it might be quicker to just print a replacement, so here it is. Besides I don't have to wait for it to ship, and this is pennies compared to whatever I'd have to pay. Picture shows the new printed one and one of the original parts.

Instructions Printing & Installing This is a little thicker on the back and might be a bit stiff to put in. I printed on Makerbot "standard" at 20% infill (I didn't want it to fall apart). I used a support because the clippy part is a little bit recessed. Use care when installing, mine was stiff. You could consider trimming the back to make it bendier, but it seems to work. Or maybe make the points not spread quite so far. Also the clippy parts seem a little too skinny (thickness). The real one was less recessed. How I made it I scanned a clip @ 200dpi, then dropped that into sketchup. I used a calculator to figure out how big the resulting flat thing was and how much to shrink it to get it to fit. (The .skp sketchup file has the scan still in it, just unhide it to show it). Then I kinda traced the outline, however mine was a little bent toward the middle, so I made the clip ends a hair wider. I then used the pull tool to stretch it about the right height (measured with a tape measure), and again for the clips to make them a little skinnier. As I said, it's a tad tight, but seems to work well enough first try. I suppose if it breaks in a month I might try to figure out how to make it a little less springy, but again, they're easy to print.
