Lelit Mara X V2: Brita Intenza water filter mod

thingiverse

The German (Swiss-German) youtube channel Kaffeemacher (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZhsWzc258g&list=PLmDOzgzRfCCCklGMWFVsk7GKUWtHlVXPK) has concluded the ill-fitment of the Lelit water purifier filter unit. To improve my Lelit Mara X V2 I designed this adapter to fit the common Siemens EQ.series Brita Intenza water filter (watch out, it will not work with other Brita Intenza filters). It is simply mounted where the serial filter holder is attached to the water tank via the pin. The interface towards the machine stays in serial configuration and is simply just turned around 180° degrees and mounted to "enclose" the level sensor. Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. I am not a coffee machine designer. This modification is designed to the best of my knowledge. Using this part means you are fiddleing and changing the configuration of your coffee machine. Actions like this can void the waranty or damage the machine. This design is a prototype. It works for me but depending on your printer and your settings it might not work for you or even damage your machine. When in doubt, do not use this adapter. Any influences on the life of the coffee machine (calcification of the machine, overloading of the pump, interference from foreign parts (plastic from the 3-D printed part or filter pellets from the coffee filter) can lead to permanent damage to your coffee machine. I am not responsible for your actions.
