clothes dryer loose wire fix

thingiverse

I've been plagued by loose wires on my cheap clothes dryers, which I've come to refer to as "Clothes Horse" after consulting Google's official translation. It's a common problem - I tend to keep using them until too many wires are loose and then I bite the bullet and buy a new one. Yesterday, I realized that with my 3D printer at hand, I could repair the loose wires and give my entire setup a significant boost in sturdiness. Here's my creation: the "Wire Repair Tool for Loose Wires on Cheap Clothes Dryers" - a name that would surely impress even the likes of Zoolander. The STL file is designed with a frame diameter of 15mm and wire diameters of 3.4mm, but you can easily adjust these values at the beginning of the OpenSCAD script to suit your needs. The tool consists of several components, including a frame that holds everything together, wires with hooks on either end, and a small lever that helps you tighten or loosen the wires as needed. The design is intentionally simple, allowing for easy assembly and customization. To assemble the tool, simply print out all the parts and attach them to each other using standard M3 screws. Make sure to secure the wires firmly in place before tightening the frame, and you're good to go! With this handy tool by your side, repairing loose wires on your clothes dryer will be a breeze.
