Hoshizaki Ice Machine Evaporator Cleaning Block

thingiverse

This tool is perfect for individuals working with Hoshizaki Ice Machines, as it functions exceptionally well. Things You'll Need: 2) 3M x 23 SS Hex Cap Screw 2) M4 SS Flat Washer 2) M3x8-5 Brass Knurl Inserts 1) Wooden Paint Stick (preferably a fully wooden stick to prevent damage to the evaporator surface) 1) A supply of 4x6 scotch bright pads, cutting about 1/4 off each one Printing: (ABS) 1) Print the IM Cleaner Body V2 standing and either print with 100% infill and 200 microns or use a dual process, printing the bottom half at 30% and the rest (the threads) at 100% with 200 microns. 2) Print the IM Cleaner Clamp V2 laying on its small side (recessed holes up) at 100% infill with no supports. Assembly: Using a soldering iron, melt the Brass Knurl Inserts into the IM Cleaner Body V2. Make sure to have a small lip of plastic over the top of the inserts (helps keep them from pulling out). Install the SS Flat Washer onto the SS Hex Cap Screw and run them through the IM Cleaner Clamp V2 and into the cooled Brass Knurl Inserts. Loading a Scotch Bright Pad: Most likely, you will need to cut about 1/4 off the end of each pad. Do a dry run just to make sure it fits properly. The easiest way to load a scotch bright pad is to make sure the screws are fully extended and just holding on by a few threads (gives you plenty of room to insert the pad). Insert the scotch bright pad all the way into one side of the clamp. Using the clamp, press down hard with your fingers, trapping one side of the pad while tightly wrapping it around the body. Rub each corner to help the body crease into the pad. Release the clamp a little bit and then push the other side in between the clamp and body. Once the pad is fully inserted and tight, screw down the clamp screws to secure everything. I will try to upload a video of the process in the future.
