Description

The original Maytag Neptune washer/dryer systems were absolute tanks.  Many parts are still available, however, some plastic pieces like the detergent lid and frame (WP22004481, AP4028547) are no longer available.  After drawing just the lid that will fit WP22004481, I found that the frame, AP4028547, was also damaged.  As a result, I redrew the entire assembly.  

Print Settings

  • I ran this in testing at only 10% infill.  Surprisingly the frame is extremely rigid with gyroid infill, I would say the percentage is dealer's choice. 
  • Supports on, I also enabled support roof for a cleaner surface
  • 4 walls to reduce infill time on lips

Supplies

Assembly

  • Simply slide the pins in the holes leaving about 3.5mm exposed on one side
  • Carefully bend the piece to align the pins in the detergent dispenser housing.
  • The leading edge of the frame on the hinge side needs to be chamfered slightly for clearance.  

Notes

  • This is a pretty big print so a large bed is required
  • It will take around 17 hours to make both parts at once
  • When I printed this model in PLA, the 3mm pins fit well without issue.  Based on feedback, if printing in PETG, a 2.5mm pin may be necessary.
