Reusable Keurig Coffee Pod (K Cup) Filler Tools

thingiverse

A measuring scoop and funnel assembly to help fill reusable Keurig coffee pods, also known as K Cups. I acquired mine from Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074T688XM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The OpenSCAD file reveals that the scoop is designed to hold 35 ml of beans or grounds, but my print yielded only around 32ml. However, this outcome is favorable because the lid of the reusable pod features a water inlet piece that occupies some of the pod's volume. All the filler parts are generated from HingedKCupFiller.scad, which consists of two main components: the pod holder (base) and the funnel (top). A multitude of STL files for the filler assembly are provided to offer various printing options and connection possibilities. Refer to the comments near the top of the OpenSCAD file for more details. The STL files containing "Base" in their names are designed specifically for the bottom part, while those with "Top" are intended for the funnel component alone. Files labeled as "Both" allow you to print the top and bottom parts side by side, whereas "Single" files enable printing the entire assembly in a single operation. Files containing "Bolt" are optimized for use with a #4 by 1 inch (or M3 by 25 mm) bolt in the hinge, making assembly easier. Files labeled as "Spring" employ spring-loaded pins in the hinge, similar to how a watch band connects to a watch. Examine the picture featuring the red filler for further clarification. Files beginning with "NonHinged" utilize three Lego-style connectors to align the funnel top with the base instead of a hinge, as depicted in the picture showcasing the purple filler. Files containing "Test" are designed for printing test versions of the assembly, which include only the layers comprising the hinge (or Lego studs).
