prusaprinters

<p>This is a large drip tray for the Krups Pixie Nespresso coffee machine with a 'full' LED indicator.</p> <p>Since i use cheaper 3rd brand coffee cups, these seem to be more prone to leaking, resulting to</p> <p>have to empty the drip tray frequently, and having it overflow occasionally.</p> <p>I decided to make a bigger version with a LED indicator which lights up when the tray is full.</p> <p>Electronic parts i used:</p> <ul> <li>Float switch - search ebay for "Water Level Sensor Right Angle Float Switch"</li> <li>Two 1.5V buttons cells type AG13 / LR44</li> <li>A 3mm red LED</li> <li>A resistor to dim the LED a bit, i used 270 ohms (optional)</li> </ul> <p>The tray contains a round recessed space on the back to fit a metal washer</p> <p>to connect with the magnet which is mounted in the machine</p> <p>(optional, works fine without it..)</p> <p>When designing, i made a standard replacement version of the tray first.</p> <p>You can this version as thing 1577383 on Thingiverse</p> <p>I printed this in ABS, make sure to have a decent amount of wall layers (minimal 3)</p> Category: Kitchen & Dining
