Hoover Wind Tunnel Cord Holder

thingiverse

This part replaces the fragile electrical cord tab on the handle of a Hoover Wind tunnel vacuum cleaner. Within months of getting the machine, one of my kids broke off the tab, creating a tangled mess of a cord that was extremely annoying. Now, five years later, I have a 3D printer and designed and printed this part in just over an hour. I made it with PLA on a low resolution setting; however, it will require supports to be turned on. Print Settings are as follows: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: They don't matter. Supports: Yes Resolution: .30 Infill: 20% Notes: This is a pretty simple print; however, it would not need supports if it weren't for the retention clips in the post.
