Push Button for Siemens TW2500 electric kettle

thingiverse

Replacement push button for a vintage Siemens TW2500 electric kettle made in the 1980s requires special care during printing. To prevent damage to the delicate mechanism, print the part sideways with support underneath the "stick," ensuring layers are oriented vertically to match the loading direction. This crucial step prevents the stick from snapping off due to stress and pressure. A heat-resistant print material such as ABS is essential; alternative materials like PLA should be avoided since they become soft when exposed to heat. Furthermore, a translucent material is recommended because of the neon bulb inside the kettle that indicates heating status.
