My dad's grinder work surface was getting increasingly worn down and hard to use - and since Glastar is unfortunately no longer in business, brand new work surfaces are increasingly hard to find. It seems a real shame to have to buy a whole new grinder when something as simple as this fails, especially as they are such reliable machines!

I designed this grinder work surface based on the original with some minor tweaks to improve it for FDM 3D printing.

This design uses the same grid pattern as the original so any standard accessories should fit fine, including the second storey mini work surface, anti-spray arms, and eye shield support.

Included are two variants - one fits the 19mm (3/4 inch) grinding head, the other fits the 25mm (1 inch) grinding head. If you have any requests for other variants, please let me know!
If I make any changes, all files will be included in the same one-off price.

 

Dimensions: 235mm x 210mm x 22mm
Please make sure your 3D printer has at least this amount of space on the build plate before buying the files!
It will fit comfortably on any of the 256x256mm Bambu Lab printers (P1 series, X1 series, A1), and should just fit on a Prusa MK3/MK4 (it fits on the slicer, but I don't have one to try printing it with)

 

Known supported glass grinders:

  • Glastar Super Star II
  • Glastar Diamond Star

Recommended printing settings:

  • Material: PLA or PETG to avoid any risk of warping, but any material should work if you can reliably print it flat
  • Nozzle: 0.4mm recommended, but anything up to 0.6mm should work fine.
  • Infill: 100% for strength, rigidity, and wear resistance
  • Build plate: smooth, to minimise friction when moving glass around
  • Layer height: anything should work, just pick the one that gives you the strongest layer adhesion!

Print time is around 9h30m on my Bambu P1S, with material usage at around 215g when using PLA and 100% infill. Print time estimate for a Prusa MK4 is 24h30m using a standard profile, 13h30m using a fast Input Shaper profile.

 

As stated in the license, this is strictly for non-commercial, personal use only.
