Dishwasher Clean Dirty Indicator

cults3d

We wanted a clean/dirty indicator for the dishwasher, but none of the designs on thigiverse had the WAF. Ended up designing my own from scratch, but got inspiration from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3610941 . Magnets used are 8mm*3mm for the slider and 13mm*3mm for the main magnets to hold it to the diswasher. Magnets are embedded in the print so in your slicer remember to add a pause so you can add them in. Recommended to scuff the magnets with sandpaper and clean with alcohol to help the plastic adhere to them. Also, both of these magnets can be very strong. I put a tiny drop of superglue at the bottom of the hole to prevent them from jumping out and clinging to the hotend. Multiple prototypes were made so the magnet voids are perfectly sized. YMMV. PS: Make sure you orient the magnets correctly so the two base magnets will attract the slider magnet! Since they're embedded, you only get one shot. Might want to put a dot on the side of the magnet that should face up, using a sharpie, to remind yourself which way they go in. Update:1/23/2023 - Added spaces for additional magnets for greater holding strength and slimmed down the overall design to make it easier to read from above, looking down.
