Espresso coffee machine handle - Manico macchina caffe espressa

thingiverse

It had been far too long since the espresso machine's arm had broken but I was hesitant to act because I only use PLA and worried about the temperature that could cause it to give way. The day the handle finished breaking I made up my mind so I drew and printed it. As soon as it was ready, I assembled it (you'll need a hexagonal head bolt M4x40) and immediately put it under stress by making 12 cups of coffee without stopping and I must say that I didn't experience even the slightest failure or sign due to the heat transmitted by the boiler. I designed the piece with a tolerance of 0.1mm and had to force the insertion in order to reach the bottom (the internal hole is conical).
