Easy Fill Pepper Mill Grinder
Description
Easy Fill Pepper Mill / Grinder You may have seen a few pepper grinder designs on the internet. I wanted to create a fully 3d printed pepper grinder that didn’t just kind-of-work-ok-ish… I wanted to make one that would look good, be reliable, be as good as a shop bought item and last for many years. I think this could be it…! Attributions Two things stood out for me in the previous designs – one was the brilliant ‘grinding faces’ created by ‘MDesigner423’ and also the threaded lock nut created by ‘JollyCreations’ (not mastered screw threads as yet). So, thanks to all the designers involved in developing this project this far – I could not have done this without you. See notes below for further details on the print and mods etc. Feel free to make improvements! UPDATE The lid for the Pepper Mill was a little too loose and was driving me and my family a bit nuts, so I have re-designed it to be a better fit. See V2 Lid. Apart from that, the Pepper mill is still going strong and is used every day! UPDATE 16/10/19 The Pepper Grinder spindle was flawed sadly - from the original remix. The flaw being it only catered for small peppercorns! I bought a batch of larger peppercorns which simply did not work using the grind surfaces of the original design. So I have modified the grind surfaces - so it works for larger peppercorns too now. So if your grinder has also failed, this is probably why. I have also stopped using PLA - I now use PETG, because PETG is food safe, much stronger and does not 'wear' as much as PLA.
