Sodastream Charging Lever for Jet Model

thingiverse

I've had a Sodastream Jet since 2009; I purchased a 2nd one in 2016, and the Charging Lever broke at the hinge-point. Sodastream generously sent me a replacement Jet, but they had since changed the design, and the newer models limit how much carbonation you can achieve, which I found unsatisfactory... I found some replacement levers here on Thingiverse, but most were for other models. Two, however had potential, and with some trial and error, I created this hybrid replacement lever that works great for me. I initially used "Sodastream Lever" by DanielKeyfull Jan 3, 2017 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2009930 ), but had fit issues. Then I tried "Sodastream replacement pusher" by jkuner Jul 30, 2016 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1696798 ), but it broke. So I designed this hybrid, incorporating the best of both designs, plus some modifications of my own (thicker walls, angled slots, for easier installation, a taller push-button, and a few other nuances...) You may need to file or sand the lever to get the push-button to fit. It works quite well for me.
