Aeropress Storage/Travel Cover with Sealed Filter Compartment

thingiverse

Awdemuth made a really nice Aeropress travel cap that you can stuff a few spare filters inside, but I wanted one with a separate filter storage compartment- that will keep the filters clean and dry. My Aeropress comes with me on camping trips, and is often stuffed in my backpack where it can sometimes get dirty and wet. This thing has a few important features: -allows the plunger to fully click into place for storage with the seal uncompressed. -allows drainage/air circulation around the plunger face, so can be put away while still wet. -storage for up to 25 filters in a separate compartment. -aeropress filter cap gently compresses filter compartment to fully seat the TPU gasket. -filters are stored clean/dry and protected from the environment. -knurling on the surface where you touch it. The handle and lid have a generous tolerance for fit, and are assembled with CA glue. The body and lid and handle are printed with PLA, but I used TPU to print the gasket seal (see printing notes).
