3D model description
A tip release button replacement cap or "foot" for electric heater anti-tilt switches.
This thing goes onto the tip-release switch button so that the mechanism will actually be tripped when placed on carpet. Without this foot, the button stays extended and the heater believes it is tipped over even when it's just sitting flat on carpet.
If you have the "Soleil Ceramic Heater PTC-150B" and misplaced this tip-over switch button foot at some point like I did, then this is what you need!
It's probably compatible with plenty other devices that use the same tip-release mechanism as well.
IMPORTANT SAFETY DISCLAIMER:
Since I haven't tested this with anything else: make CERTAIN the cap slides easily in and out of the housing when secured onto the button & being tripped with your particular device.
If you fasten it onto the button and it easily pops in and out of the inner housing after pressing and letting go from any angle, you should be good to go.
IF for whatever reason it is too tight of a fit and the cap is getting stuck on it's way in/out of the inner housing: then DO NOT use this part for your own safety!
Always test custom 3D printed parts for safety before using!
