Gaggia Classic Top Cover

Here's a replacement top cover for the Gaggia Classic espresso machine.

It has cut-outs on top for a 58mm tamp and a generic WDT tool holder. 

Additionally, it uses a 25mm silicone tube to replace the traditional funnel. This is useful as it allows for more freedom to mount SSRs internally for a DIY PID conversion. The water filling section is sloped just enough so that water does not pool in the fill area. 

This allowed a PID conversion for sub-£40 all in, with minimal effort for SSR placement.

This MakerWorld listing solely covers the top cover assembly, please look elsewhere for PID conversion guides.

I recommend ASA-CF, ASA, ABS, or a similar filament that can wistand reasonable temperatures. My ASA-CF version has been working fine for over 12 months of heavy daily use.
