Miele Coffee Machine Milk Spout Fridge Cap

This is a cap to fit the milk spout on the Miele CVA6xxx built-in coffee machine milk container lids.  The cap has little ribs for a more tolerant grippy fit, and I made it a little chunky so it's easier to handle.

Sizing:

• You don't want too tight and wear out the spout of the expensive Milk container .. and not too loose.

• Different printers and different materials will produce different results.

• I include 8 sizes:

  • 6.06mm 

  • 6.08mm .. best fit for PETG HF

  • 6.10mm .. best fit for PETG HF

  • 6.12mm

  • 6.14mm

  • 6.16mm .. best fit for PLA Matte (black)

  • 6.18mm .. best fit for PLA Matte (white)

  • 6.20mm

I recommend printing one of my 3MF files:

• 4 smaller sizes -- choose this if printing with Bambu PETG HF

• 4 larger sizes -- choose this if printing with Bambu PLA Matte

• 8 sizes -- Easiest - print all 8 sizes and choose the best fitting.  They are 2c a piece.

Why do this?

Miele recommends cleaning the milk container lid every day rather than storing it in the refrigerator with  the milk flask.  There are multiple good reasons for this.  But that's not practical for me.  Despite what Miele says, storing the lid in the fridge does work albeit with a higher chance of milk spluttering.  This cap makes storing the lid in the fridge better.  It has reduced milk clogging significantly, I think by preventing the milk from drying in the spout.  Note the lid does not seal even with the cap on since it is designed to let air in when dispensing.

The way I do it: I have 2 milk flasks, and I rotate them when I clean the milk pipework once a week.  The used milk flask goes in the dishwasher and I deep clean the lid by hand.

I also include the original Fusion and STEP files so you can modify.
