Elna Presser Bar Lifter #411461-10
I recommend printing with supports at 100% infill as the middle of the presser bar has an angle step which is a weak spot. The part is very similar to the original Elna one however the arm does not get as small at the tip (the part where you operate it with your fingers). This is because I didn't want to risk it being too fragile.
I printed it first in PLA and it worked great until a hot day (without air conditioning) and then the light on the sewing machine overheated the part and it became flexible. So I recommend printing it in something more resistant to heat. Perhaps PETG or ABS? I am trying PETG now as I have that on hand.
