K-Cup Coffee Compost Collector on Peanut Butter Jar Lid

thingiverse

This Ultimate Compost Collector is a Triple Masterpiece! I needed a peanut butter jar lid for my K-Cup compost collector, so I adapted two other things: first, the lid by 3Dmigos "Screw Lid for Nutella Jar" (1001973), and second, the base of dbibeau's "Coffee Monsta! Eats used coffee grounds in your spent k-cups!" (711329). Print both designs and then bolt the Coffee Monsta (or REV C TOP) to the modified Nutella lid with 3 #8 x 1/2 or 5/8 machine screws. Now you have a K-Cup Compost Collector that screws onto a peanut butter jar because you didn't have a mason jar to collect the K-Cup grounds. Both items will take about three hours to print. Coffee Monsta is thing 711329, search for it online. A year from now, the top will degrade and break down, and a new one can be bolted onto the peanut butter jar lid. I buy one-pound Smucker's organic creamy in standard size glass jars; composting collecting is a great way to repurpose a peanut butter glass jar! In the photo, you see a green "fill your own" K-cup. If the scraper is ever redesigned, then the new one can be bolted onto the lid without needing to print both parts. UPDATE 6/25: I added a 30 mm diameter flat surface at the top of the modified TOP in the photo to scrape the inside corners of the K-Cup. Tap the cup until most coffee has fallen out and then twist back and forth to "scrape" the inside corners of the cup! I was able to create this quickly from the work of 3Dmigos and dbibeau. Thanks for posting your designs on Thingiverse! Give credit where it's due!
