3D printing rescues the dishwasher

Our seven year old dishwasher has shown to start it’s age. Three of the lower rack wheels started to come off from rack due to breaking off of the clips which holds them on the rack. So I started looking for the wheel clips in Thingiverse and found many. I chose what looked like a promising model and printed. Although I could fit the wheel back on the rack, it pushed the wheel too far out. The second model I printed was a perfect fit to my surprise.

The newly printed wheel clip – it’s a perfect fit
