Lid support

thingiverse

I purchased a $2 thrift store deep fryer with no hinged lid, forcing me to search for a place to set down the hot, greasy top, which is quite inconvenient. To resolve this issue, I designed and built a lid support. The support fits snugly over my fryer's plastic lifting handles and has been semi-permanently attached using silicone caulk adhesive. Although it seems secure enough as-is, it could also be bolted on by drilling holes through the handle if desired. It took me 70 minutes to create this design using Afinia defaults with 40 grams of ABS material. Please note that the STL file is not in metric units. To convert it, simply scale up (X, Y, and Z) by a factor of 25.4 to achieve metric measurements.
