Rinse Aid Dispenser Cap Tool MK3

A strong, dishwasher rinse aid dispenser cap tool, designed to facilitate the easy removal and insertion of the cap in my Samsung dishwasher dispenser.
My wife loves it!
It is easily 3D printed, without any support, on a modern inexpensive 3D Printer.
This object can be printed with a variety of materials, including PLA, PETG, ABS and other type of printable materials.
PLA works very well for this application. It is easy to print. The tool should be durable, easy to maintain, and last for a long time. However, it should not be stored or kept at high temperature, exceeding ~55 C (~ 130 F).
Should the tool be left in a high temperature environment, such as boiling water or cleaned in a dishwasher, I strongly recommend using a greater heat tolerant material, such as PETG or ABS to prevent warping.
This tool was specifically designed for my own dishwasher’s rinse aid dispenser cap. It may work on another brand. However, “Your Mileage May Vary”
Recommended print settings with a .4 mm nozzle:
- Layer Hight: .150 ~.160 mm, depending on motors and gearing
- 3 perimeters or shells (1.2 ~ 1.5 mm)
- 8 bottom layers (1.2 ~ 1.3 mm)
- 8 top layers (1.2 ~ 1.3 mm)
