Single button toilet flush replacement

thingiverse

This is a replacement button for a Wirquin dual flush (model Wirquin M19368). The original is made of chromed plastic and breaks as soon as you look at it. Printed in rigid TPU, this should last a while. It's also just the one button, which will make the whole structure less fragile too. Print with the button face on the bed. It doesn't need supports or a raft. I always print with a skirt (i.e. not touching the printed part) and I've printed three of these and all came out fine. I used rigid TPU (not the flexible stuff, this is relatively new and a lot firmer). For obvious reasons, flexible TPU won't do the job. PLA and ABS might, but I haven't tested them. PLA might be too fragile and eventually suffer the same fate as the original garbage chromed plastic. To fit, just dismantle the old flush button (if you're reading this, it's probably already in bits...) retaining the springs. Put the springs in the flush assembly, then force the printed part into the hole in the bottom of the flush assembly. This should be possible by bending the prongs inward. Once you've pushed the new part in all the way, you should find your button sitting at the lip of the flush assembly, with the springs underneath, holding it up. You can now reassemble the rest of the flush mechanism. You should find that when you push the button, it triggers the flush mechanism.
