Samsung Ice Maker Shut Off

Samsung Ice Maker Shut Off

Description

The ice maker in our Samsung fridge doesn't turn off anymore, because the ice maker shut arm broke. This thing lift up and activates a switch when the ice bin is full. Ours broke off a while ago, and the part is not easily sourced anywhere, so now that I have a 3D printer, I figured I would just make my own. I found the part online, and was able to use pictures, and the remaining broken piece, to model a new arm. I was able to measure key dimensions on the remaining broken piece with calipers to get the model right on critical features. I printed in PLA, because I have no desire to print in ABS, though the original part is injection molded ABS. If it doesn't last long enough, I would possibly try PETG instead of PLA. I have no idea if anyone else would ever need this same part again, but if they ever did, I might as well post it here for someone to use.
