Breville Barista Express Magnetic Tamp Press

thingiverse

UPDATE: this whole press design is way to flimsy and overall, using my hand is faster and tamps better. I don't recommend making this press. I wanted to use Callum1243's press but with the actual stock tamp, so I designed a magnetic tamp holder using the same mounting hardware. The base arm was extended over 40mm to match the increased tamp height. It might work with the stock base, but it's not tested. If you do test it please let me know if it works so I can post it here. I printed the raised base, mold mk2, and handle at .2, 80% infill, 4 layers. The mold needs supports. The cover .2 @ .2, 2 layers. IMPORTANT: This model uses a magnet to keep the tamp in place just like the machine does. In the model, there is a .8mm layer above the tamp followed by the 5.1mm x 17.8mm magnet shoved in there to create a tight fit without any gaps. IF YOUR MAGNET DOES NOT CREATE A TOP/BOTTOM SNUG FIT THEN ONLY .8mm OF MATERIAL WILL BE TAKING THE FORCE FROM THE PRESS. DO NOT try to use this press if the magnet well is not filled or it will most likely break. The handle can be downloaded through Callum1243's press page. These are the magnets I had laying around to make this, needs to be at least 2x as powerful, these barely work. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Hobbies-Industrial-Ceramic-Magnets/dp/B0119B3SQQ
