Dishlex Washer Lid Hinge
A broken washer lid hinge shouldn't sideline otherwise good Dishlex equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. Variants differ between years and models, so we'll need your part (broken is fine) to match the exact one.

Why these break
Top loader lid hinges snap at the pin. Heat cycling is the killer here: years of expanding and contracting work-hardens the plastic until a routine bump becomes the final straw.
How we reproduce them
These take a proper modelling pass: we measure the mounting points and clip geometry from your part, reinforce the known failure point, and verify fit with a test print before the final run.
We print these in Nylon. Nylon is slippery and fatigue-resistant, which makes it the right choice for parts that pivot, slide or flex thousands of times.
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.
