Sodastream 'Cool' Button Hinge replacement

My wife dropped the sodastream and the hinge that holds the button broke off... this is a replacement for that.

No clue if anyone is going to have the same problem, but if you need a replacement button hinge, use this print.

Print it in a sturdy plastic. I've used PETG. The attached Gcode contains presets that I use for mechanical models: 4 perimeters, 15% cubic infill, extra wide lines (wider than the nozzle width) and 0.15mm layer thickness. The curved sides need a little base plate support, but with paint on support you can prevent more supports from being generated.

I've removed and retrofitted the pin from the sodastream, but a simple M3 bolt would also use to hold it.

The bottom lip snaps around the edge of the sodastream.

There's also holes made so that you could lock it in place more with some M3 screws. The middle hole is to add a screw to use as a ‘standoff’ against the cover. In the end I just tested it with the snap connection, without adding any extra bolts. That seemed to do the trick already just fine.
