Tamping station

This is a tamping/grinding/resting-station for the portafilter of a ROK espresso maker. It features a detatchable funnel for using it with the ROK coffee grinder. Ditch the included inconvenient metal cup and grind your coffee directly into your portafilter!

Probably it fits portafilters of different brands as well but you better measure the CAD data before printing.

Because of excessively surface smoothing the poly-count is pretty high in the original file. If you need a lower resolution for whichever reason, use the two lo-res alternatives or smooth it to your needs with the original blender file.

20.03.2021: updated the design to make it fit better, drool less and ease cleaning a little. See pictures of the blue-ish part.

06.08.2021: on popular request I've updated the bottom part to fit the newer version of the espresso maker (GC?). This could also fit the bottomless filter; but better do some measurements before printing. It's named "longer ears" because it's ears are longer.

12.08.2025: I updated the design for the newer GC version of the portafilter to have a hole in the bottom. So liquid now gathers on the table instead of the tamping station. Way more convenient to clean up. Also updated the file names to cause less confusion.

Support is recommended for angles above 88% - there's a cavity on the bottom of the station which needs support. I added this cavity to reduce bed-adhesion - otherwise I'm unable to remove the print without damaging the base.
