Ilve Fridge Crisper Rail End
Ilve made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the fridge crisper rail end is a regular on our bench. Variants differ between years and models, so we'll need your part (broken is fine) to match the exact one.

Why these break
Rail ends crack so the crisper sags or jams. Vibration fatigue does the damage: thousands of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.
How we reproduce them
Bring in the broken part and we'll reverse engineer it — usually with a design tweak that addresses why it failed in the first place, not just a copy of the weak original.
We print these in PETG. PETG has a little give in it, so it snaps into place like the original and shrugs off the knocks that shattered the old part.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
