It ain't Good! The metal doserless funnel really does cost 382$, without any additional electronics. Lol that's almost half the price of the grinder... I'd be interested to know which hvlp sprayer fits this machine but it might take me a while to figure that out.

I've done a 3d printed rocky catch tray (Rancilio Rocky Mod)... and may wind up doing a doserless for my new Mazzer Mini Timer.ejs wrote:I need to add a spout to my MDX that is clean, screws into the 2 original screw holes, and doesn't look like a 1st grade science project.
The doser was removed from the machine a while ago because it was holding so many grounds and I only make 1-2 shots a few times a week.
I tried that paint gun reservoir and it looked ridiculous and did not work well. I have tried a dozen other ideas as well, all with varying degrees of success- Plexiglas, wood, old tupperware, thin metal...
If anyone has any ideas, please chime in. I have run out of things to try.
Send me the diameter of the other hoppers and I'll whip up a few ideas.
Cheers,
Moe

If you come to a production piece, I'd be happy to reimburse you and pay for the time you put into it

It is, and I wouldn't have done it if the grinder had cost much more than $70 The plastic chute that goes inside the original chute was well worth the ~$30, though.sprin001 wrote:382 seems unreal...
If there is enough interest, you may be able to order some custom funnels from a place like https://www.toledometalspinning.com for much less than Nuova Simonelli.

The funnels are not hard to find, harbor freight sells one that I played around with for $7 or $8.

I think it looks pretty cool, I'm unsure of how the function would be yet. The tamper on top would be slick, I already have a stand but that would help minimize footprint even more. I don't have calipers, but doing my best eyeball with measuring tape is the ID is 4.5 inches. The length from top to bottom on the doser chute is 5 inches. Let me know if there is anything else you need in terms of pictures/measurements and I'll do my best.maximoe wrote:Let's call this Version 1, showed in green to show the shape, 100% guessed on dimensions just to get an iteration out.
Give me a yay/nay on:<image>
- looks
- function
- whether you want it removable easily
- want an insert in the lid to put your tamper on top of?
