This device facilitates easy removal and reinstallation of the clips that hold magnetic floaters in place within Senseo coffee makers. With proper care, it can withstand numerous extraction and insertion cycles without sustaining damage. Magnetic floaters are a frequent source of issues in these machines; therefore, removing and reinstalling the clips is essential. However, this process is not as straightforward as it seems. This device has been utilized successfully on multiple occasions. A 25cm length of M5 threaded rod can be used as a handle for the 'no handle' version. There's also an alternative '150mm handle' design that doesn't require a threaded rod but might be slightly too short for effortless use. The OpenSCAD source code is included and thoroughly commented, allowing users to customize the tool according to their specific needs. Printer Settings CTC Bizer Dual Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: At least 40% Post-Printing Instructions If using the 'no handle' version, tap the hole with a M5 tap and then screw in a 25cm length of M5 rod. Using this device effectively requires careful handling. Extraction: Carefully insert the clip into the tool's cavity until it is fully seated. Slowly increase the traction force while pulling up on the tool until the clips pop out of their rail. Insertion: Place the clips in the tool's cavity and align them over the plastic rail. Gradually press down on the clips while rocking the tool's handle to facilitate smooth insertion until the clips are securely seated.
