Western Toilet Side Mount Flush Handle Insert

thingiverse

This insert will repair the Western toilet side mounted flush lever. I made this model to replace the plastic insert behind the chrome flush handle on my Western Toilet. The old white plastic one cracked up. The replacement assembly is less than $20 but I felt bad about tossing all the metal parts like the cast lever and the brass rod just because some thin plastic part cracked. I figure since I have three of these toilets in my home I might as well model the part for the future. Save the Earth, right? The original part is very poorly designed and it cracks along the threads. I printed this with supports from the build plate. Also I used fine settings (0.12mm layer) to get the threads to print nicely. It isn't the same size or shape as the original but it still works. I noticed that the hole is different in one of my toilet levers so I uploaded a version with a 9.5mm diameter hole and one with a 7.5mm diameter hole. Choose appropriately.
