Recently, a friend gave me a broken microwave, not new but very good quality. Thanks Romain! The issue lied in the door mechanism, which stops the microwave from starting do to the safety switches (a very good thing).<\/p>\n\n\n

Seeing as I will not be living at home next year, I decided to try to repair it. A microwave is dangerous because it uses high voltage. So insulating gloves, discharging the high voltage capacitor and making sure to leave the magnetron in place were a must. Once everything open, I had access to the door where I could recover the broken plastic hinge. <\/p>\n\n\n

I then took careful and exact measurements of the plastic piece, broken in 2 places, and drew it on my cad software of choice. Once that done, I printed the piece with complete filling at certain places where it seemed most vulnerable. After having to redesign the part from a very, very slight misalignment, it now works flawlessly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It so happened that the massive microwave fits perfectly above our oven, so I decide to actually put it in there. With the help of some wood planks, it fits perfectly and looks really cool! It took a while, but the result is very pleasing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am planning on doing a video to explain the process, which should be done by Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
