Yet another travel Aeropress cap and filter holder

thingiverse

Here's another Aeropress cap and filter holder - like the others like it here, it keeps your paper filters in place along with the filter cap, as well letting the rubber plunger go all the way through letting it relax to it's uncompressed size. How mine differs is that it is stronger - the "ear flanges" on all of the others that hold the cap are the weak points. Whether the mail or in my bag, I invariably lose an "ear" within a few weeks of travel, making the whole shebang a little bit finicky as they need all four flanges to hold the cap in place. The one pictured recently survived 3 months backpacking through Europe, showing no signs of giving up soon. I designed the cap flanges so that the unsupported extrusion doesn't have to make as many sharp turns mid-air, and is more of a straight pull. I printed mine with no supports. I don't think I have my printer tuned particularly well, and I was printing PETG, something that I feel prints worse than PLA. At most, I think I just had a few stray boogers I had to knock off (PETG makes boogers on my printer) I've included the Fusion 360 .f3d so that you can improve it/laugh at my design process.
