Bracket for 4mm Fridge Glass Corner

thingiverse

One of the brackets holding my fridge's glass plate broke. Since I couldn't find a suitable spare part, I designed one myself using my "Privileg" Fridge's damaged bracket as a model. Although this particular bracket was designed for that specific fridge, it may also fit other brands and models. I printed the replacement standing upright, just like in the Cura screenshot. You might need to adjust the orientation in your slicing software. I used Cura to slice it and printed on my Anet A8. My printer managed the print using only a skirt without any supports. If you want to be cautious, especially with the round part at the bottom, consider adding supports that touch the build plate. I used 33% infill for this print, and we'll see how long it lasts in my fridge. If it breaks, I'll try again with a higher infill percentage. I printed this replacement in PLA without making any size adjustments. If you find this useful, consider giving it a like. If you make one yourself, please post a make so others can see your results. Thank you for reading! UPDATE: 2018-08-07 When I replaced the broken bracket in my fridge, I took a closer look at the rest of them and noticed two more were cracked near breaking point. All three failed at the same weak spot between the glass and the big indent on the side. In my opinion, this indent is unnecessary since it's only required for technical reasons when the original part is injection-molded. I removed the indent from my updated drawing. I also found a minor flaw in my initial design and removed the STL files for the left and right bracket. Now there's only one STL file, which should result in a stronger part that can be used on either side of the glass. I'm printing the new version now, and I'll upload a photo tomorrow after testing it.
