Dishwasher Replacement Pin For LG And Possibly Other Models Too

thingiverse

This part was created to fit <b>LG models LDF6810WW / LDF6810BB / LDF6810ST.</b> May also fit other models/brands, but I guarantee nothing about this. I designed this part as a replacement for the top spray arm pin. It broke after nearly a decade of use, so instead of throwing out the dishwasher with it, I tried using OnShape to model a new one (I had to learn how to use it for work too, so why not be efficient?). This is my first time trying this, so please excuse any mistakes and if you want to remix it to make an even better model, I am here for it. I included the STL, Solidworks and .GX files for your convenience. Feel free to remix and use it however you like! Note: The original part was 25mm in the Z-axis (the longest dimension on the part, as measured on the broken OEM pin). I had to scale this model down to 23mm on the Z-axis to make it fit in my dishwasher. I've run the dishwasher twice since installing it (not a lot, I know) and so far it seems to be working fine. If there's any change, I'll update here. If you print it and it works, please post a make - I love seeing my work being useful and out in the universe! When I first opened the model in my slicer, it was extremely small. Sorry if that happens to you - I don't know why it did that. I used dimensioned measurements and everything in my model. The files are named v5 and v6 - v5 is the original size download, and v6 is what I printed after scaling it down to fit. They're the exact same part, just a difference of ~2mm in scale. If you like it, it works, and you find it useful (and maybe saving you hundreds of $$$), tips are appreciated or donate some $$$ to your local school or plant a tree!
