Bissell 82g7-c Wire Holder Tab Repair

thingiverse

I recently encountered an issue with my Bissell pet vacuum model 82g7-c. The tabs on both swiveling wire holders had broken, rendering them useless. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed a pre-existing groove in the original swivel piece that presented an opportunity to salvage it. To do so, I designed a custom component that would fit snugly into the groove and provide additional support. The new part features a 1mm screw hole for secure fastening and can be attached using superglue or screws. To ensure a seamless integration, I had to pre-drill the vacuum's plastic housing prior to assembly. While printing an entirely new swivel component would have been ideal, this temporary fix should hold up for a reasonable amount of time. Following the print job, I carefully sanded down the width by 0.1mm to guarantee a perfect fit for anyone attempting to replicate my solution.
