3D Printing vs SSP: 65737 Adapter

[Peter_M]

I recently restored my 6th SSP. It has been 7 or 8 years since I last restored one.

I've always used the 65737 electronic igniter. It's always bothered me how it never fit quite right and was prone to move around and sometimes fall out.

For this one, I designed and 3D printed an adapter that fills the cut out on the SSP Frame and positions the igniter in the correct location.

I added a ty-wrap slot for stashing any extra length of wire.

Nice job.

If you are installing a 65737 in a SSP, there is a flange on the button as seen in the attached promotional photo.

This can be cut off to where it is slightly smaller than the silicone (?) cap. I cut it with a set of flush cut diagonal cutters. I'm sure there are various and better methods to cut it. Remove the silicone cap before cutting.

This allows the button to attach as intended and require a less deep push to activate the spark. It also allows the Control Panel to lift on and off easily without requiring removal of the button cap to change the tank.

The Silicone Cap fills the hole in the Control Panel very nicely.
