portafilter handle sleeve

thingiverse

This thing is something very specific again: a replacement for the portafilter rubber sleeve of the gastroback advanced pro g design espresso maker (also sold with dozens of other brand names). There's not much to say except that the original sleeve doesn't hold up very long and is of a very soft type of rubber. Since I don't have filament that soft, I can't stretch an exact replica over that ridiculously sized filter handle. Therefore I had to make the replacement with an opening which you can close by using a nut (M3 square) & screw (M3x6 countersunk). Not very graceful but looks better than that ripped old thing.
