DAK Auto Bakery Bread Machine Hinge Covers

We have here some plastic parts to fit a 35-year-old bread machine which was sold under various names and brands, originally the DAK Auto Bakery, DAK Turbo Baker II, DAK Turbo Baker IV, DAK Turbo Baker V, and Welbilt The Bread Machine. These are the ones with the domed glass top as shown in the photos. My wife has six of these machines that she sets up once or twice a year for a bread-making party. She uses the machines to mix and knead the dough, but doesn't bake the bread in the machines. So anyway, she handed me a broken plastic part and asked me if I could glue it back together. Upon investigating the situation, I found it was the hinge cover for the domed lid and three of them were missing. In addition, two of the mating mount covers were missing. Challenge accepted! Using my digital caliper and intact hinge and mount covers, I opened up Onshape and tried to figure out how to copy the designs in a way that was 3D printer friendly. These parts are the result of my efforts.

My printer, filament, and settings: I have printed this on a Qidi Q1 Pro w/ 0.4mm extruder using Creality PETG filament. The bed temperature is 80°C. The first layer print temperature is 240°C and the remainder prints at 250°C using the Qidi Slicer’s generic PETG filament profile. I used gyroid infill at 20%. Layer height is 0.2mm.

NOTE: These PETG parts work fine for our application (mixing - kneading), but a higher temperaure material might be required for baking applications.
