Proline dishwasher wheel and clip

thingiverse

This is a bottom tray replacement total wheel for a Proline model FDP48ASL-E dishwasher. Two wheels disapeared under unclear circumstances. A total wheel comes in 2 parts : the wheel itself and the clip. After printing the two parts, first the clip is inserted into the wheel, then the whole part is set on the tray (see pictures). First I designed both parts "as it", but I was not very happy with the supports that were automatically created by the slicer (Cura). So I decided to design the models with supports included. This is why there are two versions of the models : - wheel and clip "as it", without support. If you choose to print these models, you have to set the slicer for supports creation. - wheel and clip with supports included. If you choose to print these models, take care to uncheck the support creation in the slicer software. After printing, remove the supports (no tool needed). Supports are compatible with 0.2 maximum layer height (vertical distance to the object is 0.2 mm). Thickness of the supports is 0.4 mm (size of my nozzle). For printing, I used ABS because of the hot working environment (hot washing and drying). I don't recommend PLA for this reason. I used 0.2 mm layer height because I did not care for a perfect look but you can make it nicer using less than 0.2. Comments welcome.
