Espresso tamper for Flair Classic

prusaprinters

<p>I bought a <a href="https://www.flairespresso.com/product-page/flair-classic-espresso-maker">Flair Classic</a>, and while I love the coffee I'm getting from it, the "tamper" (i.e. dosing cup) it came with was pretty bad. I didn't particularly like the look of their $25 "pro" tamper so I decided to design my own.</p> <p>This was intended to just be a prototype but it ended up feeling pretty much perfect.</p> <p>Anyway, I couldn't leave enough alone so I also designed a dualstrusion version.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Artillery Genius</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.1mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>100%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Overture PETG <p>Transparent</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>This is for the single-piece version. For the two-part version, I print "core" in PETG and "grip" in TPU, but feel free to experiment with other combinations.</p></div> Post-Printing ============= <p>After printing, it's a good idea to sand it down, especially the bottom and sides of the base.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p>The hard part of the core design was getting the correct outer diameter for the tamper; Flair doesn't seem to publish the diameter anywhere so with my calipers and some trial and error I found that a diameter of 39.5mm is just about perfect, at least with the PETG I used.</p> <p>For the multi-material version it took me some time to get the parts to interface together well and remain rigid enough to not fall apart, but that's a very YMMV thing in the first place.</p> </p></p> Category: Kitchen & Dining
