Rocky 45 degree tilt mod

A 45 degree tilt mod. Use in conjunction with an open chute doserless conversion spout or a similar open chute. Reduces overall retention of the rocky from 1-2g down to 0.1-0.3g and produces nice fluffy grounds. RDT is important when using this conversion.

You can see the improvement in grind fluffiness below. Left is the rocky standing straight up and right is the rocky with a 45 degree tilt.

This design comes in 4 parts: the legs, the hopper insert feed tube, and two parts for the feed tube lid. The feed tube lid is designed so you can put US quarters inside to increase it's mass. I prefer the short lid because it outputs fluffier grounds, but you can experiment with the long lid which applies pressure on the beans as they're grinding if you want.

Note: the legs are not finished. They have a mounting peg and hole that are meant to line up with the holes on a doser rocky, but they don't line up. The hole and peg should both be raised by about 4.8mm. The grinder is meant to sit flush against the legs, but it doesn't. But it's functional, so honestly I don't know if I'll ever get around to fixing the design.

Edit1: Added an updated hopper insert which doesn't have that that weird mini funnel shape. Found that to be unnecessary and annoying.
