It’a detained by magnets so it doesn’t get in the basket and interfere with spreading out the grounds. Needs a clean up with a lick of sandpaper, pretty stupid but these things cost like 50 bucks /shrug

    Yes, absolutely. Coffee grounds rubbing up against rough 3d printed plastic is going to act like little grinders pulling off bits of of plastic directly into the grounds.

    Not to say that we all haven’t already lost the microplastics speed run. I am concerned about the things you listed, but yeah, I wouldn’t want anything 3d prone to be so close to so many small hard moving pieces of food.

      3d printed plastic isn’t much worse than other plastic. The grinds aren’t under any force.

      Have a look at a printed part under SEM and you’ll see it’s quite smooth and cohesive. Coffee grounds are light and fluffy, they don’t grind plastic.

      I think you’re not basing this on any scientific investigation.
