Dishlex Microwave Turntable Coupler
Spares support for older Dishlex products is patchy at best. Reproducing the microwave turntable coupler locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break
Turntable couplers strip and the plate stops turning. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.
How we reproduce them
This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.
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.
