Porter Filter Mount for Silvia, E61, LaPavoni, Francis Francis etc. by sigshoj

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a mount for placing grouphead from silvia (E61 Grouphead) and La Pavoni onto the machine by magnets and a discrete rail, or using screws and mounting them onto the wall or other surfaces near the coffee machine.
Pick the file(s) you like and print them. Either the small for La Pavoni, Francis Francis (57 mm) etc. or the bigger one for Silvia or other E61 group heads.
-------------------------------- DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------
Update 20 Jan 2017:
Redesigned on-machine mounts to make them printable (using support) without having to clue on the rail. They hang at a good distance, and the backplate material has been trimmed away for a nicer design. Enjoy !
WALL MOUNT:
If you want to wall-mount take the design with build-in screw holes.
Simple use 2 or 4 screws to fasten it onto the wall. Voila. Print more if you have more than 1 handle.
MACHINE MOUNT:
(Picture missing)
Print the design without the screw (since you won't need the holes), and also print the glue-on-rail. Glue this to the backside, and it can carefully be pressed onto the edge of the machine with a snug fit. It fits all stainless-steel casings of about 1-2 mm thickness.
I've used 1mm thick and 10 mm diameter neodymium magnets (very cheap on eBay). These can be press-fitted into the part, and will secure the mount even better than just the glue on rail.
I use this design myself, and have made a version for Pavoni handles as well as Francis Francis (Its the same).
If you have a specific wish, i can quickly change the design to accommodate for other handles as well. Feel free to post a comment.
