I believe it can be laser cut from acrylic/Plexi as well

Good to know, thanks. Is that even enough to mess up an extraction or notice the taste difference?

Sounds right. The 3D printed one and the offical one both have a slope down into the hole, which has the appearace of funneling beans into the burrs. Who knows if it actually does anything, but I imagine the laser cut ones wouldn't do this.

I should have explained this in more detail pardon me. Most laser cutters can alter focus point and create a slope (kind of like contouring in a CNC mill). Alternatively some cutters can articulate the head to create a chamfered edge.

I'd say a hard 'no,' but somebody might disagree. When you look at it, it is a tiny fraction of a dose.

Anyone who can taste .2g of coffee is literally just fooling themselves.

The Burr set costs around $115 from Mazzer. What do you think?
