Maytag Dishwasher Impeller

prusaprinters

<p>This is a replacement for a Maytag type dishwasher wash/rinse impeller. It is to be printed in 2 parts, top &amp; bottom, and then crazy glued together. Best to print it using PETG because it gets hot inside the dishwasher and I don't think PLA would hold up. If the keyed hole doesn't quite fit your dishwasher shaft then do what I did. I used a small heat gun to slightly soften the PETG at the keyed area and then pushed it onto the shaft of the dishwasher. Then I removed it and now it has the exact size.</p><p>I have this in my dishwasher now and so far it has survived a couple of heavy cycles. &nbsp;</p><p>(Working since September 16 2022. Still working now September 30 2022.)</p><p>(Keyed center is now stripped - October 11 2022. PETG is not strong enough, but the temperature did not affect the part.)</p><p>Print Settings: (support only in the center for the shaft hole)</p><ul><li>layer height = 0.4mm</li><li>top layers = 5</li><li>bottom layers = 4</li><li>perimeters = 5</li><li>print speed = 30mm/s, outer perimeter at 70%</li><li>extrusion width = 0.8mm, nozzle = 0.4mm</li><li>bed temp = 90'C</li><li>Hot end temp = 230'C</li></ul>
