Salad Spinner Gear

A broken salad spinner gear is the classic small part you can't buy on its own — the maker only sells the whole assembly, if anything at all. Variants differ between models and years, so we'll need your part (broken is fine) to match the exact one.

Why these break

Drive gears strip and the spinner freewheels. Vibration and repeated use do 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.

As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
