Orange part blade holder Repair for GARDENA Comfort Grass shears, rotatable

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

The factory gardena orange ABS part for the grass shears broke because the constant spring pressure for the blades and weather fatigue caused the plastic mounting for the screws to break. I did not experience that the top lid broke, if you need that as well leave a comment.
I present to you, the perfect replacement if you don't want to spend 30 EUR for a new pair of grass shears! I ain't spending that!
It was fun making this. Creation and sharing them is 50% of the 3D printing fun. Eye candy red CAD rendering for pleasing the optical sensors.
I made the bottom of the part extra thick so that it works using just PLA material. No fancy material needed. If you do use better material and want a sleek look, you can sink the part 1mm into the buildplate in the slicer to get a smoooth look. I didn't reuse the dowel pin, I just screwed a screw through the top plate so it hits the hole for dowel pin. I think it's upgraded that way. If you want to reuse the dowel pin it might need some persuasion to get into position
