3D model description

This little thingy is the 3D Printed part of my manual/automatic water refill.
As the intrusive electric part is missing, it's just a manual refiller.
If you want to have a coffee, press the button to see the acutal water level and keep it pressed until it's full enough.

The extension to have it fully automatic is to get that switch pressed by external circuity (that I don't share here right now.

You need:
-1/4" Water Valve 12V
-DC Power Plug
-Power Supply
-Push Button
-Flyback diode (~600mA capable, 30V min)
-"Something" for the external switch.
-12V LED
-some water pipes

I print it with machine side down.

Adhesion to machine with some Velcro to remove it easily for cleaning the water container once a month.

Please don't directly connect a Reed relais or something else to the external connector, as it will need to carry ~500mA and 12V.
I use inside my circuity a Photomos to isolate the "touchable" electronic from the internals of the coffee machine (Reed Relais in my machine could be hooked to 220V mains line)
