Samsung Fridge French Door Seal Actuator

thingiverse

This is both my first functional print, as well as 100% first design. Please let me know if you have any feedback. Latest Samsung fridge door seal actuator has a poor design. When opening right door before left door, you have to close left door before right door or the door seal will hit the right door. The seal "slider" does not adjust the door seal correctly. I have designed a new one from scratch, narrowing the passage at the mouth of the actuator to correctly move the door seal. By replacing this part, you can open any door first and close any door first/last. The model number of my Samsung fridge is RF28T5001SR/AA SKU at BestBuy is 6417767. I am sure that most new Samsung fridges have the same part, and I wouldn't be surprised if many other brands also use the same part. Make sure you inspect the dimensions to verify fitment. Replacement is very easy, only two small screws. I tried my best to get the replacement part to look like the original and it is very close. It fits very good. Raft or brim is not needed if you have your printer tuned well, but it doesn't hurt to add one. Print time for me is 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on the support type used. Make sure to print the part with the heavy part up so that you get a good finish on the visible side of the part. Print it like in the picture and use a support. I designed this in SolidWorks. If anyone has any interest in the file still in SolidWorks format let me know.
