Tray for Primula Drip Coffee Maker

prusaprinters

<p>We recently "fired" Keurig as our coffee maker (expensive, wasteful, mediocre coffee) and picked up a $20 <a href="http://primulaproducts.com/coffeeware/pour-over-coffee-maker-1-cup/" title="Primula Website">Primula one cup drip coffee maker with stainless steel filter</a> as a stop-gap until we figured out which coffee maker to buy next. I'd forgotten how good locally roasted, fresh ground coffee could be.</p> <p>In terms of convenience, it turns out that an electric kettle and the Primula is<em>almost</em> as easy to use as the Keurig. Given the superior coffee, lower cost and zero waste, I can live with measuring a scoop and a quick filter rinse.</p> <p>The only complaint is, the drip maker, well... drips. Frequently a drop of coffee grounds hits the floor on the way to dump the grounds and then you get a little water on the counter after rinsing. No big deal, but I decided to design and 3D print a custom tray to contain the drips, and here it is. Works great, BTW.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Printrbot</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Simple Black</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2 but not critical</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Picture here shows tray printed in PETG with hotend at 250C, bed at 85C but PLA or ABS would work fine too.</p> <p>Designed in <a href="http://www.freecadweb.org/" title="FreeCAD">FreeCAD 0.16</a> (will share source on request).
