I wanted a bracket to reinforce the orange cover on the Miltenyi AutoMACs I was using in the lab almost daily. It is easily broken if operators didn't lift the cover before pulling it out to load the conical tubes. Used a 0.4mm nozzle and PLA, no supports needed when printed flat on its back.

I used super glue to adhere any broken pieces together, usually it was the orange cover that snapped near the clear hinge of the machine. Aligned it with the bracket and used a flat surface to get the bottom flush. As a secondary mechanical fastener I drilled and taped the clear hinge to accept a 10-24 stainless steal screw. The hole in the bracket can be used as a guide where to drill, then when its all ready drill, tap, and don't worry about it again.
