Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework (spirographic wdt tool) Umikot Flair Pro 3 rework

This is a remix of the great Umikot by @redfoxdude https://www.printables.com/de/model/481587-umikot-58mm-version-planetary-gear-spirograph-espr (more remix information at the end).

How to use:

1. Use the printed funnel (base) and pour the coffee grounds into the portafilter, then give it a slight tap.

2. Put the Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework on it and spin.

3. Remove the Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework and give the portafilter with the funnel a slight tap if necessary.

4. Remove the funnel and you're good to go

Quick demonstration:

What you need:

(To get a better idea of what you need, watch the beginning of the assembling video)

• Filament: PETG (or PLA, I recommend using PETG)

•  5pcs: M3 x 12 NoCountersunk (M3-0.5 x 12mm flat round head screws)

• 10pcs: 0.35mm * 60mm acumpuncture needles with 20mm handles (I used 0.35 * 75 mm acupuncture needles from amazon, also called “Sterile Disposable Needle Beauty Massage Sterilization Needle for Pain Relief” and cut them)  with 35mm handles and cut them.)

How to print:

I recommend printing all parts with (food safe) PETG, but at least the base (funnel), as it is more heat-resistant and PETG materials are easier to clean (otherwise you can use (food safe) PLA). 

Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework Funnel (Base):

• 0.12mm layers or finest layers you can print in good quality (important for a smooth funnel experience and cleaning)

• 4 top/bottom layers (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 2 walls (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 11% gyroid minimum (consider higher for more heft!)

• No supports

• If you have sticking and bending problems slower your print speed and use the optimized brim Version (Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework Funnel (Base) - optimized brim) instead of the auto generated.

Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework Spin Ring:

• 0.16mm layers

• Concentric top pattern

• 4 top/bottom layers (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 2 walls (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 11% gyroid minimum (consider higher for more heft!)

• No supports

• If you have sticking and bending problems slower your print speed and use the optimized brim Version (Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework Spin Ring - optimized brim) instead of the auto generated.

Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework Mech:

• 0.16mm layers (turns much smoother than with 0.2mm layers)

• Concentric bottom pattern

• Random seam (for smoother turns)

• 4 top/bottom layers (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 2 walls (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 11% gyroid minimum (consider higher for more heft!)

• No supports

• Problems turning?: Simply turn a few times in all directions, this can help quite a bit. A few drops of neutral cooking oil can also help. (If all settings have been adopted, a calibration of the printer could also help - my mech came directly out of the printer (A1 mini) as shown in the video.)

Other Parts (Handle, Stand):

You can use a print profile which works fine on your printer but use 0.16mm layers to match the other parts.

• 0.16mm layers

• 4 top/bottom layers (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 2 walls (consider more if you have sticking and bending problems while printing)

• 11% gyroid minimum (consider higher for more heft!)

• No supports

• If needed, use an auto generated brim for the Handle

How to assemble:

Watch the assembling guide video (How to assemble Umikot Flair Pro 2 rework) here: 

This video also shows typical problems that can occur during installation (I used a not optimal test print for that).

I sometimes experiment with a different number of needles, because with the small size of the basket, less may be more. 

Have fun and a nice cup of coffee!

This is a remix, the Original Model is “Umikot (58mm Version) - Planetary Gear Spirograph Espresso WDT Tool” by @redfoxdude and firstly adopted to the Flair Pro 2 by @Vert (Umikot for Flair Pro 2). This model is using parts of the mech and the spin ring.
