Thread pitch is .125" (3.175mm).
It'll fit if the hole in the sheetmetal is around 18.5mm.
Fits my Whirlpool Duet dryer, and will probably fit other brands too.
Orient the part pointing upwards when printing.
Use 40% infill or more, for strength.
Prefer higher temperature (210°C), for strength.
Supports NOT needed (worst overhang is 45°C).
I installed a foot, then sat on the corner of the dryer and bounced up and down. It held, no problem - pehaps a 250lb bouncing load. I designed the part to be strong (see the thread cross section). But use your brain to think about what would happen if this part failed or collapsed: Is there heavy stuff on top of your dryer, ready to slide off and flatten a child below?
If you use this, please tell us the model #
