Easy Fill Pepper Mill Grinder

Easy Fill Pepper Mill / Grinder You've likely seen various pepper grinder designs online. I aimed to create a fully 3D printed pepper grinder that wouldn't just kind of work okay-ish... I wanted to make one that would look great, be reliable, and be as good as store-bought items with longevity in mind. I think this design could be it! Attributions Two standout features from previous designs caught my attention - the brilliant grinding faces created by MDesigner423 and the threaded lock nut developed by JollyCreations. I couldn't have accomplished this without the contributions of all designers involved in this project so far. See notes below for further details on printing and modifications, etc. Feel free to make improvements! UPDATE The lid for the Pepper Mill was a bit too loose, driving me and my family crazy, so I redesigned it to fit better. See V2 Lid. Apart from that, the Pepper mill remains strong and is used daily! UPDATE 16/10/19 The Pepper Grinder spindle in the original remix had a flaw - it only worked with small peppercorns! I bought larger peppercorns, but they didn't work with the grind surfaces of the original design. So, I modified the grind surfaces to accommodate larger peppercorns too now. If your grinder failed, this is probably why. I've also switched from PLA to PETG because it's food-safe, stronger, and doesn't wear out as much as PLA.
