Ariete Cafe Prestige Filter Handle

thingiverse

The filter handle on my faithful 10-year-old Lello 1375 Ariete Cafe Prestige espresso machine malfunctioned, so I took matters into my own hands and created a new one. This replacement fits perfectly and features channels inside that help epoxy or other adhesives grip securely. I printed the new part in Polyalchemy Elixir, and I'm thoroughly pleased with its appearance. Unfortunately, I didn't capture a photo of the insert from the filter handle, but it's essentially a flattened half-oval shape with two distinct grooves. To ensure a good fit, you can test print a small section beforehand.
