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

EDIT: appreciate all the concern for my health, it touches dry coffee grounds. I agree that if it got wet there’d be health problems but unless it gets real humid there’s just no opportunity for decay. As for random leaching same diff, without heat and wet it’s not really a concern.

That said I probably will seal an improved design, this is just a test piece.

    I haven’t done much with magnets, but I saw one model where you pause the print halfway through, drop magnets into the holes, then continue the print and they get sealed in Amontillado-style.

      Pop the magnets into the paused print.

      The magnets: "Hahaha. This is a fine joke, good sir!’

      Resume print

      Magnets: “Yes, a very funny joke indeed. Wait, sir, where are you going! Sir! SIR!!”

      Walk away knowing that neither you nor anyone else will see those magnets again

          Worst part is it taking forever for it to print the casket around you, and you’re just lying there unable to do shit and just watch the casket close around you in ultra slow-mo. Like being buried alive with a tea-spoon for a shovel.
