UFS-066 Saeco Espresso Funnel & Tamper

thingiverse

I recently got my hands on an old Saeco Aroma espresso machine and I'm thoroughly enjoying the coffee it produces. While browsing through Thingiverse files, I stumbled upon several intriguing designs for espresso funnels and tampers. Many of these were specifically created for DeLonghi machines, but I figured it was time to adapt them to suit my needs. I used a Thingiverse file as the starting point for my funnel, which can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4128550. The designer, decandenza, had successfully modified the design from other sources, although I couldn't find any information on the original source. Additionally, he had designed a tamper that caught my eye, but I ended up finding an even more appealing option elsewhere. I discovered a nearly perfect tamper (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3772264) that was just slightly off in size – 52mm instead of the required 53mm. To resolve this issue, I simply scaled the entire design by 2% and it worked beautifully, fitting perfectly into place. Full disclosure, the funnel file I've attached is not the exact version I printed initially. My original print had a few minor errors that I had to rectify using a knife. I corrected these issues in the updated model, but unfortunately, I didn't reprint it. If you encounter any problems with the design, please let me know. The reason why the parts appear green is due to the color of filament I was using at the time – it's just a matter of circumstance!
