Anthony5 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The below item or something similar is what I'm looking for. This from a Senseo coffee machine, so I will not be able to find it anywhere in Thailand, but maybe a chance to find something that is usable. To order it from Europe would cost me 13 Euro excluding shipping cost, so I think it's worth to look around. The side that has the screw wire on it is 6mm thick. Any idea where I should have a chance to find something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thai Watsudu might have something. Or a 3D printer could be your friend (but it wont make the rubber seal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony5 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thai Watsudu might have something. Or a 3D printer could be your friend (but it wont make the rubber seal). I have the rubber seal, and those you can buy anywhere if necessary. Any idea where in the area a 3D printer is available and what they would charge for such an item? On next sight, this item distributes hot water under pressure, you think something made with a 3D printer can withstand that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonseeker Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Try BONCAFE / Naklua. Their service Dept. might have something that fits. Good luck. MS> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If above don't work try Ebay, perhaps order 2. Small special items can be very frustrating to get. One time I need a new wrist watch strap and I was told 3 month waiting time (Casio Protrek). Got one via ebay in Hong Kong and it was much cheaper too and then a side stall watch repair man fitted it for 20 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where you would find one here but I would expect the printed item to stand up to that sort of pressure. What is wrong with the original one?

crickets Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You might have to make it in brass. Nipple plus m&f elbow followed by a hose barb. Go to a plumbers and they might have the odds and ends to make it unless the thread is not standard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end that screws into the pump is broken off. I think it is a know shortcoming as this is my second one, and there is a online shop in the Netherlands that has all those parts, because Phillips doesn't make it anymore. I think 13 Euro + shipping is a bit steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 You might have to make it in brass. Nipple plus m&f elbow followed by a hose barb. Go to a plumbers and they might have the odds and ends to make it unless the thread is not standard. Probably not a bad idea. Will have a look at the aircon parts shop on Pattaya Nua if they have the parts in copper or brass. Next I'll have to find someone who can braze it together. Any suggestions who would be able to do that, without cutting off my leg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Any suggestions who would be able to do that, without cutting off my leg? Any aircon installer should be able to do it. In Europe I would try a decent plumber but here they only seem to use plastic fittings, presumably due to low pressure and no frost. I would also be tempted to try using epoxy adhesive to repair the existing parts. If applied and cured correctly it can be stronger than the original material, even under pressure or underwater.

DLock Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Seriously 13Euro? That's it. Only 481baht? You probably wasted more time and effort on Thaivisa and wandering around trying to source one than 13Euro of your time is worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Seriously 13Euro? That's it. Only 481baht? You probably wasted more time and effort on Thaivisa and wandering around trying to source one than 13Euro of your time is worth. 481 Baht + shipping, The smallest DHL package Thailand - Netherland is 1400 Baht ( maybe more the other way around), that makes it almost 2000 Baht for an item 6 mm diameter and 3 cm long, which would cost less than 50 Baht if I can find it here. A new complete Senseo coffee machine is below 5000 Baht By the way the search is still on. The smallest the aircon shops have is at least 10mm, so to big for my use. Bon Cafe didn't have anything usable. Have done several hardware shops of all kind with the picture, the pump and the broken item in hand. They look at it then ask for what it's used. When you say coffee machine their reply is immediately, we don't have part for coffee machine. When you explain that the same item may be used for 100 other purposes, they aren't even interested anymore. Makes it difficult to source if they are so stubborn . Found some part in the water filter booth downstairs Big C extra which fits in the pump, so now to try if I can modify the other side that the water tube connects without leaking. Paid 30 Baht for it, which is quite a bargain over 2000 Baht I would say. Anyway, suggestions are still welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loppylugs1 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 These things are widely available on various pieces household items.

No idea. Bought the Panasonic water cooler at Sat morning auctions,should have known it was kaput,no way I was searching for that piece for what I paid for it,if it could not be repaired it was going back in the auction Exactly what you are after that faulted,something else that comes close to what you are looking for internal filter for aquarium,the pump comes in two separate pieces the pump and the piping,threaded outer knuckle with sharp 90%bend,would be cheap,could try asking at aquarium shop may sell it separate,that would do the job. Numchai in Banglamung,seems to be the place where repairs are carried out Just seen your response 18 The outlet would connect to flexible plastic piping,it was this that held it too rigidly with micro plastic ties,did away with them,warmed the plastic tubing up ,making it more flexible and push fitted it Edited February 10, 2015 by loppylugs1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found Edron before I started this thread, but since in their list of countries they ship to Thailand isn't listed, I emailed them. So far no reply. Also the shipping calculator, which has Singapore in the list, doesn't work. Yermanee's Senseo has been thrown away by his wife without his knowledge.

Anthony5 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Went to Numchai today, and they didn't have a similar part, when I informed them that Panasonic might have a similar part they sent the picture to the Panasonic service department. A few hours later I received a call from Numchai to inform that Panasonic doesn't make this part anymore. Edron has after 4 days still not replied to my email, so I assume they don't have the part either. As I have about 450 Senseo coffee pads left, I'm still trying to find the part, but I refuse to pay 2000 Baht for a part worth 20 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
