Goal: Spend 30 hours…just to save 20 seconds or so. Using a Funnel cup with a scale…it only takes 10 seconds instead :)
just a simple…90% complete Coffee bean Doser. this is my first time creating anything but a widget using a 3d printer. i would say if someone with actual cad skills spent 2 more hours on it, everything would fit together. Its still a good beginning for any project that requires weighing something and dispensing it out.
Print the auger piece out of TPU ( will crunch less ) and make sure to hand adjust it when screwing it on.
