<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe clip of my sandwich maker broke. Because of such a plastic part, of course, the whole device is not thrown away! In my part-time job as a recycling expert, I made it my business to save items from trash. It’s time to get back to action! In this blogpost I want to talk about the repair process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWith the help of this clip, you can close the sandwich maker and compress the sandwiches. This combines the sandwich bread with the inner topping and creates a delicious interaction of ingredients. However, you can make delicious sandwiches without this closure. Nevertheless, it is annoying when you can no longer take advantage of this device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/enesordek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_7738.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHere is the broken part in a close-up from the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/enesordek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_7739.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnd here from behind. Here you can also see (or at least I can see) what kind of plastic it is. In the triangle I can read a 5, which stands for polypropylene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modelling: Prototype 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By now I am almost a professional when it comes to spontaneous modeling of small parts. With OpenSCAD, such a model is no more than a small programming challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/enesordek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-from-2022-09-24-12-28-37-1024x581.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHere is also already the model. I have printed it out and put it into the sandwich maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/enesordek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_7743.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI got the measurements right, but it still didn’t work because I need a curvier shape. I can’t get the clip to close. Time for a second model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modelling: Prototype 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/enesordek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-from-2022-09-25-09-28-15.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe second prototype has a curved shape to fit snugly into the mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/enesordek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_7744.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/enesordek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_7745.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis prototype fits perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I am happy with the result. The sandwich maker is fixed, it looks good again. The source code of the model is just glued together, but it works. I also shared the model including source code on Thingiverse.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On a relaxing weekend, I was making sandwiches when something unforeseen happened.
