AeroPress Mug Extender (Brew on Larger Mugs)

prusaprinters

<p>I like to add frothed milk to my coffee, which requires a larger mug… But a standard AeroPress isn't stable atop larger (latte-style) mugs - as I found out the hard way.</p><p>So, I created this simple adapter that securely fits into the notched pattern on the AeroPress filter basket, and which extends further out to comfortably and securely fit atop larger mugs.</p><p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p><ul><li>Larger (⌀=135mm) shelf fits bigger mugs</li><li>Circular ribs on the bottom help to stabilize the AeroPress atop the mug</li><li>Fits a wider range of mug sizes</li><li>12-sided polygon shelf prevents the AeroPress from rolling away</li><li>Precise fit with AeroPress notches</li><li>Notch holds are perforated to reduce coffee back-flow</li></ul><p><strong>Print Settings:</strong></p><p>I printed mine in <strong>PETG</strong> with <strong>3+ perimeters</strong>, <strong>0.2mm layer height</strong> and <strong>30%+ infill</strong>, but would recommend you err on the safe side and use more perimeters and infill because you will likely be applying a good amount of force through it. The print <strong>shouldn't require support material if printed with the flat surface placed directly on the print bed</strong>.</p><p><strong>Warning:</strong></p><p>Use at your own discretion, and please err on the side of safety. I will not be responsible for any harm that comes from the use, misuse or breaking of the device. <strong>If you press too hard, coffee may flow back out the top of the shelf</strong> - so take it slow (per standard AeroPress technique) and apply light pressure.</p><p>Enjoy! And please post pictures of your makes!</p>
