I see a lot of conflicting messages here on whether it's good or safe to RDT with a Niche, so I'm putting it out as a separate thread. What do you think? Does RDT help or does it just gunk up your grinder or does it both help with retention and gunk up your grinder...
My Niche is about 1.5 years old and has started drifting coarser while grinding. I tried ptfe tape on the threads as the Wired Gourmet suggested on YouTube, it worked great however the tape was always shredded when I pulled the grinder apart to clean it so I stopped using it.
I've designed a new exit chute for the DF64 to address retention and static issues with the stock grinder. I imagine this may be of interest to readers that either have a 3D SLA printer or know someone that does. There are a lot of makers out there, and I bet most of them drink...

I am still trying to dial her in, which is a slow process given my once-a-day-ish cup and my lack of experience in general. I took a few pictures of the process of cleaning up the grinder and the mods I have done.
Here she is right after I got her. The hopper was cracked in...
