Coffee grinder grip and shoe for 50 mm grinder.
March 23, 2025
Description
Soft grip for 50 mm thick body hand coffee grinder (no particular brand), printed from flexible material, such as TPU. It does:
- improves grip when grinding,
- allows to knock out stuck coffee grounds from the container by bumping it into the grip without damaging your grinder body surface,
- includes practical hook that holds the handle when put for storage.
Soft shoe added:
- increases grinder stability,
- no worries about scratching or denting other surfaces when handling the fairly heavy metal body grinder,
- complements the grinder shape visually.
Printing notes:
- Slicing:
- Layer height 0.2 mm works fine for me, adjust to your liking if needed.
- Use Fuzzy skin with height modifier for the height above the hook (10 mm and higher) to increase hand-grip and improve the look. Fuzzy skin distance 0.4 mm and size 0.1 mm worked for me, but feel free to adjust. I also tried knurling texture before, but it didn't come out well with narrow thickness and flex material capabilities of my printer. - Materials: printed with 40D shore flex, but any suitable hardness that doesn't slide off and suits your liking is fine.
- Fine-tuning: lowering the XY size when slicing can help increase fixation of the grip to the body. Some flex materials can become a bit loose after lot of grinding when you grip it hard.
Enjoy your coffee grinding!
