Aeropress Travel Filter Holder

thingiverse

We just bought an Aeropress for our upcoming RV trip to the US and I needed a solution for the supplied filter holder that doesn't hold the filters in place during travel. I decided to create my own extension travel 'collar' to attach to the Aeropress. Obviously, I thought this was the best idea ever, but then I checked Thingiverse and found out someone else had already come up with it. I'm talking about @kdpainter, who deserves a shoutout for creating such an awesome design! I took the great parts of kdpainter's creation and merged them together using openSCAD, removing some unnecessary separators and adding a single one in the process. The result is an extension collar that stores filters during travel and holds them once unpacked. It might be my printer, but the original files printed slightly too big, so I found printing at 99% made for a better fit - your mileage may vary.
