GE Opal 2.0 Ice Scoop Holder (Magentized)

thingiverse

This my VERY first attempt at a design from scratch to print...it took a lot of time to figure out, but thanks to YouTube here it is.... I don't know if this is considered a remix or not, but the idea came from @ruzickjc. I tried to use his design and make the bends in the inner area more dramatic, but I couldn't figure out how, so I just started from scratch and made this. Either way, I want to give him credit for the magnet idea. That said, I had a Frigidaire ice maker for which the original by ruzickjc was made. When it finally died, I decided to go with the new GE Opal 2.0. Unfortunately, this came with a new scoop that was too different in shape for the original holder to work. So, I created this one. It works well, although there might be some cleaning up of the geometry still...since I'm new to this, I don't know for sure....but it does function well as is. I'm using 5 4mmx2mm magnets I bought off of amazon. Any of that size will work, but here's the link to the ones I'm using.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WPSZRX5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are 150 of them in the pack. I'm using 7 as there's more material to hold up than the original from ruzickjc. I used Elmer's glue to adhere them to the holes. Worked great. If you use this same method, you'll want to let them sit for 24 hours to allow the glue to harden enough to support the holder and scoop. If you have any suggestions, feel free to make them. I'll do my best to incorporate them...as new to the design side as I am, it might take a while.... The design was done in SelfCAD and I used Cura to make the gcode file from the STL exported from SelfCAD. Cheers and happy printing!
