It used to be the front mounting for Blum METABOX assembly kitchen drawers, used also by Miéle and other brands. Unfortunately, the original part - made of <i>Zamak</i> (a zinc based alloy) - apparently has been out of stock for many years, and there is no suitable successor model for it. Good news is that there are several FDM 3D printable replicas available on the Internet. Mine is <u>more accurate</u> than the ones that I found so far, and <u>has an additional reinforcement</u>, which was not necessary when the part was in <i>Zamak</i>, but is highly advisable to add strength to the now 3D printed piece in PLA (or ABS, or PETG...) I suggest to print it in ABS (although I printed mine in PETG), at a pretty high resolution (I used 0.12 mm), with supports, and 100% infill. The use of brim is optional, depending on the adhesion qualities of your hotbed. <b>IMPORTANT: it is essential printing the part as shown in the figure, i.e: <i>flat</i>. <u>If you print it vertically, it will snap very soon !</u></b> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <b>UPDATE</b> (18/03/2020) : on request by a Thingiverse user, I have uploaded further versions of the STL file, with or without the reinforcement backplate, with or without the two big parallel holes. <i>I still recommend the version with holes and backplate, though.</i> <b>UPDATE</b> (24/03/2020) : uploaded new STL files, with improved design and slightly changed dimensions, for better performance and endurance (the previous ones tended to crack after a month or so). Updated consequently all versions of the object. <b>UPDATE</b> (11/05/2020) : uploaded a new STL files, with "dR" logo, after receiving information from a Thingiverse user (to whom I address my sincere thanking) that my object was used on eBay for commercial use without authorisation nor proper credits (which infringes the CC License of the object). Updated consequently all versions of the object.
