Bodum Bistro Grinder Burr Holder (Upgrade)

The injection molded plastic burr holder (retainer ring) for the Bodum Bistro coffee grinder is a poorly designed part. It has a weak/thin clip that will eventually fail due to the vibration and stress of grinding. This is an upgrade. I looked at the other "things" on thingiverse and they are just copies of the original with the same flaws (they even copied the features that are for injection molding only!). I designed this from scratch with the aim of easy 3D printing, added strength, and finer grind size (for espressos). You can see that it is designed to be printed flat with no complexity and the clips are reinforced to use the grinder burr as their backing when installed - transferring the load/stress to the metal and therefore does not see the high bending stress of the original part.

Trust me... I'm an engineer :P
