Timemore Sculptor 064/064s Hopper Adapter

thingiverse

This is an adaptor to allow any hopper with a 35mm diameter fitting to be put on the timemore sculptor. I designed it around fitting this model by Jkim_makes, but should also fit other hoppers intended for the XeoLeo style grinders, like this aluminum one from AliExpress. Hopefully the pictures are pretty self-explanatory. UPDATE 1/24/24: I have yet again changed the inner hopper adapter, and re-added the sloped area, and added a slot for a piece of filament to go through, to secure the inner hopper adapter to the adapter plate. This is because through experimentation I discovered that the “finger guard” actually does a lot to regulate the flow of beans for a consistent grind. So it is NECESSARY.

After installing the inner hopper adapter into the plate, take a piece of filament and pass it through the hole in the plate, then trim the ends so it is flush. It should be a tight fit, so pliers may be required to push it through.
