A milk tank alternative for Saeco PicoBaristo

thingiverse

An innovative substitute for the traditional Saeco milk container utilizes a glass of milk as the primary component in preparing cappuccinos or coffee macchiatos. This versatile option caters to individuals who prefer distinct types of milk, such as whole milk or lactose-free milk. Designed specifically for the Saeco PicoBaristo SM5460, this alternative also fits numerous similar models, including the SM5570. The included FreeCAD source code allows users to customize and modify the design according to their needs. A high-quality Philips Saeco image serves as a reference point for assembling the milk container correctly. An update was made on November 21st, 2019, releasing Version 2 of this innovative milk container. Due to the inherent flexibility of PLA material, symmetrical holes were added to the bottom of the design. This feature enables users to easily rotate the container 180 degrees if it becomes skewed, restoring its original orthogonality. Additionally, Version 2 is 1 mm lower than its predecessor.
