Blanco Fridge Shelf End Cap
We keep getting asked about this one — the fridge shelf end cap is one of those Blanco parts that fails long before the rest of the unit is done. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break
Shelf rail end caps crack and shelves slide out. 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.
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.
