I had Minipresso GR but broke it, then I got the Minipresso GR2 and I love it as much as it's predecessor :)
I admit Wacaco engineering is at it's finest and that the scoop/tamper works great! But I was watching dozens of espresso videos online and I noticed that the proper grind, distribution and tamping brings most of the flavor to your brew. I measured the basket and started working on this. The first design was using a metal spring a regular M5 metal screw, but I figured printed ones will do the job just as well for this tiny thing.
You print it without supports, I suggest at least 3 perimeters (outer walls) if you're using 0.4mm nozzle and while the whole thing works with PLA, I suggest using at least PETG or ABS for the springs if possible, because they loose their "springiness" after a short while if they're from PLA. Or just print a bunch of them with PLA and replace them :D
It's easy to assemble:
- Tamper part is on the bottom
- Slide in the Base part on it
- Screw in the Top part on top of the Tamper
- Add springs last, there are holes where the ends of the springs fit in
