Pergo Kitchen Aid Mixer Top or Cover

thingiverse

By Popular Demand, I designed a "Connector" for small printers to allow slicing the top into two parts and printing on a compact printer. The connector was printed on its side to facilitate understanding in Thingiverse preview. My wife loves the stand mixer I bought her; it performs multiple tasks but only has one lid. She challenged me with a question, "You know that pricey printer you have? Let's see how skilled you are with it." In response, I created this design and received a warm hug! Maybe your wife will be impressed too. If so, please share the "make pics" – not the "Make out pics"! Print at 100% infill to achieve optimal results. Note that supports are required due to the object's geometry; specifically, it needs to touch the build plate. The ideal layer height is .3mm, and I recommend using PLA since this item won't reach high temperatures, making it a suitable choice for printing. However, if you plan to subject the item to dishwasher temperatures (170°F or 76°C), consider using ABS or PETG instead. To ensure food safety, spray the ridged areas with a silicone coating like MG Chemicals Silicone Conformal Coating (available on Amazon) and allow it to dry thoroughly – at least one day is recommended for safety. To clean up the print, remove supports by breaking them away. For interior supports, use a Dremel small wire wheel at medium speed with minimal pressure while moving back and forth.
