xBloom Studio Modular Shower Screen Holder

This is a modular shower screen holder for xBloom Studio. Credit to EAF member Abel (@Abelburnem) for the modular holder idea and @Yeasmate for the no-magnet collar concept.

Currently includes modules for Melodrip and Aeropress screens. I plan to add a Pulsar dispersion screen module soon.

I also plan to add a swivel module to move the screen in / out of the water path mid-brew. (watch this space). 

Holds onto the xBloom Studio grinder using magnets, similar to the grind cup. You need 4x magnets with dimensions 6mm diameter x 3mm height, they should just press-fit into the print. Make sure to orient them the right way so they clip onto the grinder.

Here are the ones I used, but any you can source locally should be fine: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005310398238.html

Note on clearance:

• If using the magnet version, I don't think there's enough clearance under the xBloom to use this if you have done the “level fix” mod on the omnidripper. The slope provides additional clearance.
• If you are using the level fix, consider using the optional no-magnet version of the collar or the lid version I have also included as additional files.
• If using the no-magnet version, I recommend using double sided tape around the inside of the frame and using a zip tie to secure the back corner (see example images).  

Updates:

• 19 July 24: Added a magnet-free version of the collar, this has additional clearance for use with more level drippers.
• 15 July 24: added the Aeropress shower screen module
• 14 July 24: added reinforced fins to the Melodrip holder module

Brewing tips and recipes:

• I've used it with the Christopher Feran Aeropress screen recipe (with Pusi negotiated filters) and it seems to work well with that approach.
• 12g low dose recipe from Lotana also works well with Pusi negotiated filters.
• Abel's recipe, is another option.

Printing tips:

• There are some chamfers so its best to use low layer height 0.16mm or lower. 
• Recommend PETG for this, apparently PLA melts after some use!
• Extra walls and higher infill recommended (but not needed) to give a more solid feel to the shaft / handle.
• You may also want to print with ironing on top layer for a nicer finish.
• No supports needed, just print flat on the bottom.
