Strietman IMS precision basket tamper (49mm, 18g)

thingiverse

I use a Uniterra Nomad, and the tamper that comes with it has terrible fit with the Strietman IMS precision basket I use, so I whipped up this precision fit tamper to work with it. It does NOT have precision fit with the stock Nomad baskets, but I if anyone is interested I can make one of those. I have the 18g Strietman basket. I have no idea if the fit with the 15g is the same, but I would assume that it is. The general design is based on the stock Nomad tamper, but dimensionally it’s different to fit my large hands better. If anyone wanted a smaller one I could probably make one as well. I’m considering making a weighted version (that you would either fill with an epoxy or just straight concrete), but probably won’t bother unless anyone is interested. After printing I used a whetstone to get the bottom of the tamper perfectly flat. 8000 grit. You can probably skip this without any major issues though. It’s probably best practice to use a food safe coating on the actual tamping part. You want at least 15% infill and a triple shell. You may prefer 100% infill to get a heftier feel.
