La Pavoni 1st gen drip tray

La Pavoni espresso lever machines from 1964 to 1974 did not have plastic drip trays. This is a custom made wide tray.

While official 3rd generation Pavoni Europiccola drip trays fit older models, they are too wide and wobble.

User drgary from Home Barista forums designed a drip tray for 1st gen La Pavoni machines, but I found it to be too small, and left too much space unprotected from dripping. 

I needed a drip tray that would cover as much of the area as possible to protect the surface below it, while also maintaining the original intended style of the machine. This was the result.

I modeled mine using my own measurements with heavy inspiration from the model by drgary.

Print with ABS or PETG. I also used a light coat of epoxy resin on mine to improve water impermeability.
