Espresso Tamper

I have 50mm diameter basket espresso maker ([this one](https://www.perigold.com/DeLonghi--DeLonghi-SemiAutomatic-Espresso-Machines-ECP3420-ECP3630-L914-K~DLG2531.html?refid=GX257485600739-DLG2531&device=c&ptid=746445115645&targetid=pla-746445115645&ireid=23061408&gclid=CjwKCAiAs92MBhAXEiwAXTi254eelO3fsUIqbeqrjhhM407r5rOBK6EdQdkW3D1euubdZ27qkYA55hoCResQAvD_BwE)). My toddler broke my tamper/spoon that came with it, so I designed a new one. I printed it at 20% infill with PLA and it feels plenty sturdy. Could go up to 80% to get a nice heft to it. Tinkercad can't make truly round shapes, so you could print this sized up and then sand it down, but mine worked just fine without sanding. I used a G-10 print surface which left the bottom super smooth, but you might need to do some flattening there if you have a rougher print surface. Lastly, PLA is not food-safe. I'm not personally worried as the tamper will not be in contact with anything hot or liquid where I'd be worried about chemicals leaching out. That being said, a coat of a food safe sealer would be best. This object was made in Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5MvJwqiE6ro
