Old TM31: compatible with TM6 Varoma?

So our TM31 is still going strong but the Varoma lid cracked and broke this weekend. I found a steaming set for the TM5/TM6 and I’m wondering if it might fit (unfortunately no way to test before purchase). Maybe there are some longtime customers here who’ve had both models and would know if the Varoma parts (at least the lid) are interchangeable??

Thanks :)

From paper to 3D print

What do you do when you find a neat accessory on a 3D printing website but it’s for a different version of your appliance? My spouse has a 3D printer so I thought… I wonder if I can get Claude to do all the technical design that I don’t know how to do.

Step 1: I made a paper cutout of the profile I needed to match, and marked up the photo.
Step 2: I told Claude the easy measurements and asked it to figure out the angle (marked D in yellow) and the length of the adjacent slope. It did!
Step 3: Claude’s diagram looked good, so I told Claude to make step and STL files because that’s what the spouse said I needed.
Step 4: print the real object. It fit!

Pretty neat to go from paper cutout to printed object without having to struggle through the geometry myself, to say nothing of the technical design files it created for me!
