Kenmore Panasonic Whispertone vacuum hose foot release lever

thingiverse

My mom snapped the foot release lever on her vacuum cleaner, but luckily I had the same model at home, so I swapped out mine and used Fusion 360 to draw a precise replica. I had envisioned making some significant improvements, but my initial design turned out surprisingly well, so I'm posting it in its raw form. The new part is essentially a faithful copy of the original, with a slightly expanded pedal surface for easier access. There's even space inside the hollow back of the original component to add more solid material and rounded edges, as well as the option to make the flat 'pedal' area taller without compromising fitment - but I'm not planning any modifications at this point.
