Bodum Coffee Burr Grinder - 3D printed Replacement Ring

thingiverse

Success story time: My coffee grinder broke, and I was devastated! But being the resourceful person that I am, I took it apart and located the broken piece. Luckily, it turned out to be a plastic component. So I pulled out my caliper, measured everything, converted this item into a digital part file in about an hour, and then printed it in high-resolution clear resin over five hours. After that, I post-cured it under a powerful lamp for thirty minutes to increase its mechanical strength. And boom! By the end of that same day, I had a functioning grinder again, all thanks to my hard work which only took me a few hours. Now, my grinder not only works but also performs even better than before - the grind is finer and my "crema" is nicer on my espresso. I should have replaced that part sooner, though! If you're facing a similar issue with broken parts that need replacing, don't rush to buy a new one; see if it can be fixed instead. Many people offer 3D printing services, and I do too - I can even ship your item or design the broken part if it's not available as a digital download yet.
