54mm tamping station for Breville/Sage espresso machines

Description
These tamping stations give you a nice compact spot for your portafilter, tamp, and funnel, and work with bottomless and spouted portafilters. There is also a 1-hole version for just a portafilter in case you have a silicone tamping mat or the like already.
You can buy them pre-assembled on my Etsy as well.
To build this, print a matching top in PETG and bottom in TPU, and attach them with your favorite adhesive. If you would like to be able to adjust the level of the portafilter (and you probably do!), heat-stake in an M2 threaded insert and screw into the small hole under the handle rest.
This is a greatly-improved version of my previous tamping station model.
