Cast Iron Citrus Juicer Drip Cup

thingiverse

Drip cup for Mueller and Zulay cast iron, manual citrus juicers Hamilton Beach manual citrus juicers have a handy drip cup that swings out when you put a cup under the juicer, and it swings back into place when you remove your juice. Without this, the dripping juice left in the metal funnel can get all over your bar top, counter, or cutting board. What is an enterprising bartender to do? The mechanism uses a rubber band of the right tension to return the cup to its initiasl position. As you push the cup to the side, guide slots slide the cup out of the way. The strength of the rubber band should be tuned to be light enough to not push over your juice cup nestled between the loving cast-iron arms of the juicer. When you remove your freshly squeezed juice, the rubber band slides the drip cup back into place. Et voila! Required non-printables: - A small rubber band of the type used on newspapers - The drip cup is sized for a mass production, conical, 1.5 oz shot glass of the type that is sold in most gift shops. I found it had a base of about 36mm with a diameter of about 40mm about 20mm high on the side of the glass. - An M3 screw is used as a set screw to hold the guides in place. - A hex key will be required to disassemble the juicer to place the Shaft on the juicer. This thing will evolve as I test it on my home bar.
