Oven water drawer plug for IKEA Finsmakare

What is it and who is it for?

A plug for your IKEA Finsmakare oven water drawer. If you have a toddler that is smart enough to press the original cap to make the drawer extend out, and you fear your kid might break it, this plug might just work for you.

How does it work?

The way it works is by replacing the original drawer cap and limiting the drawer travel to a point where you can still push it in, but not quite far enough to make it come out. This way your kid can still have some fun pushing the button, but won't be able to pull and break the drawer.

Installation guide

1. Extend the original drawer.
   
2. Unscrew and take off the original end cap (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey).
   
3. Push the drawer back in.
4. Screw on the replacement (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey).
   
5. Enjoy!

Recommended print settings

First of all: NO SUPPORTS! The model already has built-in breakaway supports inside the small channels. You probably won't even need to remove them manually, as they will break away on their own during installation.

I used a default profile for ASA on my printer, so anything should work, really. This part doesn't get hot or exposed to direct sunlight (unless your oven is outdoors), so any regular filament should work as well. The blacker you make it, the less will it stand out, making it even less inviting to kids.

Troubleshooting

1. Help, the plug doesn't prevent the drawer from extending!
   
   It might just be due to the differences between your printer, filament and oven and mine. Slightly scaling down the print in the Z direction may resolve your issue. If you can't get it working, shoot me a comment, and I'll try to help.

DISCLAIMER: it is not guaranteed 100% child-proof, as your toddler might figure out how to unscrew it. Fortunately at that point children are usually developed enough to be reasoned with, but every kid is different.
