Panasonic Microwave Door Release for NN-T790SF

thingiverse

This replacement part is designed to function as a reliable alternative when the original door release's tabs break and it becomes lodged in place. To ensure adequate strength, it's advisable to use ABS material instead of PLA. The model number for this new part is NN-T790SF. As a note, I found that the original design incorporates a stainless steel face plate - possibly indicated by the SF designation. To preserve this aesthetic aspect, retain and attach the existing stainless plate to your new replacement part. **Assembly Instructions:** Detach the stainless face plate from the original door release component by gently bending back the four tabs. Once released, allow it to drop through the corresponding holes on either side of the unit. For reattachment, follow a similar procedure but in reverse order, attaching the stainless plate securely to your replacement part. **Production Details:** This 3D printed component was generated using Blender, incorporating accurate dimensions sourced directly from the original design. The STL file was exported from Blender and then sliced by Slic3r for optimized printing settings. This product was printed on a Leapfrog Creatr HS - an experience that allowed me to gain hands-on knowledge of Blender and streamline the 3D project process. In retrospect, learning the fundamentals of Blender became an invaluable lesson in navigating this particular task, despite facing some STL errors during the printing stage; these issues were skillfully resolved through Slic3r's automated error detection capabilities.
