Description
This is a custom-designed push button extension for the Eureka coffee grinder (Fig.: (C)). The stock grinder's push button (Fig.: (2)) can be difficult to access—especially when using a scale to measure precise doses of coffee. To solve this, I created a print-in-place hinge extension (Fig.: (B,1)) that improves ergonomics and usability without modifying the grinder.
The extension mounts securely using an existing screw hole on the coffee grinder, making installation quick and non-invasive. The print-in-place hinge allows smooth movement and easy operation, while maintaining a minimal footprint that doesn't interfere with the scale.
Key Features:
Improved button access for better workflow and precision
Print-in-place hinge – no assembly required
No supports needed – optimized for easy printing
Installs using an existing screw hole – no drilling or permanent modifications
Printing Notes:
Designed for FDM printing
No supports needed
Print orientation: flat on the hinge side for optimal strength
This simple but effective mod greatly improves the usability of the Eureka grinder for anyone who doses directly into a portafilter or container on a scale.
