Coffee Grinder

thingiverse

This over-the-top pencil sharpener casing was inspired by vintage coffee grinders, featuring STL files and OpenSCAD code in the ZIP folder. The author admits that the code is far from perfect but encourages users to improve upon it and make it their own. The design requires snap-together pieces with narrow tolerances (except for the final nut piece) and recommends cleaning excess material for smooth operation. Printed parts were tested, and an update included a revised STL file that eliminates the need for a separate "bearing" part. The author advises testing small parts before printing the entire design to avoid disappointment. Assembly instructions are provided in detail, with step-by-step guidance on assembling the gears, sharpener housing, and box. Finally, users are encouraged to find their own way to use this unique pencil sharpener.
