Espresso tampers and holder

prusaprinters

<p>The fourth thing in my Week of Things, some useful, some just for fun. Thought this would force me to post some of my projects. Most are semi useful/functional and some are purely inspirational.</p><p>After getting a Gaggia Classic espresso machine for Christmas i began working on a 3d printed espresso tamper. 4 versions later i thought i should share my design.</p><p>Print your own it in three standard diameters 51mm, 53mm and 58mm. If you have a Gaggia classic you can use my smart holder to easily store the tamper.</p><p>Remember that most printers do not make food safe prints, <strong>DO NOT USE WITH OILY BEANS OR WHEN WET</strong></p><p>I designed it with the classic shape, i tried other designs with thumb grips but found the classic to be the most comfortable and useful.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>80-100%</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>Figure out which size you should print you can use this link: <a href="https://portafilter.net/portafilter-size-chart/">sizing guide</a>. Print it heavy for best feeling. Use many perimeter walls so no water can enter the tamper when cleaning.</p><p>For the holder simply print it. I used no supports which worked fine for me but your results may vary.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have a rough bed it might be best to sand the bottom to 600p&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
