Ninja Luxe Cafe IMS Basket Spacer

Want to use 54 mm IMS baskets with your Ninja Luxe Cafe Espresso maker. This first version of the spacer model works by sliding it up onto the replacement basket and then placing either a single 5 mm x 4 mm neodymium magnet on the left side if it is a single dose basket, a single magnet on the right side for a double dose basket, or both magnets for a quad shot basket.

You will need to purchase 5 mm round by 4 mm long neodymium magnets for insertion in the provided holes. The model is purposely made very snug so that the ring does not move around the basket after it is installed and placed in the portafilter. The magnet(s) should just press into place. It is specifically designed with IMS baskets in mind as their upper rim is much more rounded than the original Ninja Kitchen baskets. It may also work directly with Breville / Sage baskets, although most of them appear to be a fraction smaller in overall diameter.

I have personally tested this model with IMS Big Bang (B62.52TFH25.5BB) filter basket and the Verybarista IMS Precision Convex Filter Basket (H25C) as well as the Breville /Sage 54 mm Filter 2 Cup Dual Wall (SP0001521).

Because of the heat generated by the brew group my suggestion is to print this out of Nylon (with carbon or glass fibers or not) or some other higher temperature filament. I would not print these with PET-G or PLA as both are affected by the environment used, heat for the PET-G and water for the PLA. It will degrade the print much faster.
