For sure, I've got a list of "household fixups" to print when I finally do get around to rebuilding the thing.
Just a note of caution about the microwave though. I don't know what bracket broke off your microwave, but usually the door switch is a safety mechanism to make sure the door cannot be open while the magnetron is on.. Make sure a new 3D printed bracket isn't able to break off and cause the safety switch to remain on!
Oh yeah, I'm well aware. The PLA bracket is non-structural and only supports the original latch piece.
That said, I was alarmed to see online lots of people who were also replacing the latch itself with printed parts. That sketches me out a lot more, though I guess it could be fine with PETG or ABS.
