Coffee maker stand

thingiverse

A stand for AeroPressâ„¢ style coffee makers. The stand provides stability when applying pressure to the plunger as the coffee maker no longer rests directly on a narrow and possibly unbalanced cup. AeroPressâ„¢:http://aerobie.com/products/aeropress.htmhttp://www.aeropresscoffee.co.uk/ Made at the London Hackspace:http://london.hackspace.org.uk/ Instructions 1) Laser cut the design in 5mm acrylic: To ensure a tight fit between components, the kerf of your cutter should be considered. The DXF was generated with a kerf of 0.1mm - this should be suitable for most laser cutters. If you need to adjust the kerf you can modify the components named "hole*" in the SketchUp model or manually modify the DXF. Note: The SketchUp model has no kerf adjustment! Ensure that any text paths are configured for etching, not cutting. When using transparent acrylic, I usually flip the text and engrave on the reverse side of a component to provide an unbroken facing surface. 2) Assemble the components and fix them with a suitable glue. 3) Optionally fix the top hexagonal template using 4 hex screw cap bolts - gravity works just as well in this case. 4) Boil a kettle, grind some beans, brew, plunge, enjoy coffee!
