Moulinex Cookeo Ball Support / Holder – SS-996897 Replacement (Support de bille)

## Moulinex Cookeo Ball Support / Holder – SS-996897 Replacement

This is a 3D printable replacement for the ball support / ball holder used in Moulinex Cookeo pressure cookers.

I designed this part as a replacement for the original plastic component, commonly referenced as:

Moulinex SS-996897 – Support de bille / Ball Support

---

## ✅ Tested and working

This is a functional replacement, not just an untested reproduction.

I 3D printed the parts in ABS, installed them on an actual Moulinex Cookeo, and tested the device in normal operation.

The parts fit correctly and work perfectly on the tested Cookeo.

The photos included with this model show the actual printed parts and their installation on the device.

## 📦 Included files

The replacement consists of two 3D printed parts:

- Cookeo holder ball – main ball holder/support

- Cookeo fixator ball – retaining/fixing part

Both STL files are included and both parts are required for the complete replacement.

### ⚠ A small spring is also required

In addition to the two printed parts, the mechanism requires a small, light compression spring.

The spring is not included and obviously cannot be 3D printed.

If you still have the original spring from your Cookeo, you can reuse it.

If the original spring is missing or damaged, you will need to find a small compression spring of a suitable size.

The spring should be relatively weak/light. A very strong spring is not necessary for this mechanism.

⚠ Do not use an excessively strong spring. The mechanism should be able to move freely with relatively light spring pressure.

You can use the uploaded photos as a reference for the position of the spring and the assembly of the mechanism.

## 🖨 Tested print settings

The version currently installed and tested on my Cookeo was printed with:

- Material: ABS

- Nozzle: 0.4 mm

- Layer height: 0.15 mm

Good print quality and good layer adhesion are important because this is a small functional part.

## 🌡 Material – ABS recommended

I strongly recommend printing this part in ABS.

I initially tested the part in PETG, but PETG did not withstand the operating temperature sufficiently and the part softened/deformed during use.

For this reason:

❌ PETG is NOT recommended

✅ ABS has been successfully tested

The ABS version shown in the photos was installed in the Cookeo and works correctly.

## 📷 Photos

The uploaded photos show the actual 3D printed replacement and its installation on a real Moulinex Cookeo.

This is the same ABS version that was tested and is working on the device.

If you successfully install this replacement on another Cookeo model, please leave a comment with the exact Cookeo model/reference.

This will help other users confirm compatibility with additional Cookeo models.

## ⚠ Disclaimer

This is an independently designed replacement part and is not an official Moulinex / Groupe SEB product.

This component is used inside a pressure cooking appliance.

Always inspect the printed parts carefully before installation and periodically check them for deformation, cracks, wear or other damage.

Use an appropriate heat-resistant material and use the printed replacement at your own risk.

## 🔩 Right to Repair

I created this model because a small broken plastic component should not mean replacing an otherwise functional appliance.

I hope this model helps other Cookeo owners repair their devices and keep them working.

If this model helped you repair your Cookeo, please share your Make and mention your exact Cookeo model so the information can help others too.
