Baratza Encore / Virtuoso Single-Dose Hopper

thingiverse

<h1>11/15/20</h1> I've got the next iteration's STLs up. I made the body larger and shorter to fit better under my hanging coffee cups and give more wiggle room for the beans when measuring. Tommy also gave me the original thing's Fusion 360 files, and I was able to do so much more with them! I made the cub closer to the burrs when grinding for better popcorn control, and I improved the slopes within the hopper to prevent straggling beans. The print quality this time was much better, so I haven't done any sanding or whatnot. I am going to finish it with polyurethane at some point, and I'll add photos then.<br><br><br><br> <i>This is a functional <s>v1 of my</s> remix of tommydadog's original design. I definitely profited from their design of the coupling mechanism because I'm very new to 3D design! Thanks!!</i><br><br> I loved the idea of having more "headroom" above my grinder to hang more coffee cups, but I needed a larger hopper than tommydadog designed to hold more beans (my typical dose is 45g, sometimes 60). So I created this design so that I could use the plunger as a dosing cup to weigh the beans (pro tip, add a sprinkle of water before dropping them into the grinder - eliminates static!)<br><br> In a future iteration, I'd want to get rid of the flat part on the bottom so no beans would be able to sit there, and I'd make it just slightly wider for some wiggle room.
