Perfect-Fit Picopresso Workstation (gridfinity)
Print Profile(1)
Description
Making espresso is more than just a routine—it’s a ritual. A great workflow transforms the process from a task into an experience, where elegance, simplicity, and efficiency elevate every shot. After pulling over 1,500 shots with my Picopresso, I realized I needed a setup that worked seamlessly with my habits, not against them.
Nothing out there met my standards. I wanted a setup that was endlessly configurable, optimized for drying, and compact enough to print on an A1 Mini. So, I designed a Gridfinity-compatible organizer—one that seamlessly integrates into any workspace while keeping every part of my Picopresso accessible, dry, and ready for the next shot.
The solution: a modular set of three 2x2 Gridfinity tiles, each designed for a specific function—one for the Picopresso body, one for essential parts, and an optional tamp + funnel station. Whether you use one tile or all three, the system adapts to your workflow, ensuring everything is organized and drying efficiently.

Key Features

Gridfinity Compatibility
This Gridfinity-compatible Picopresso organizer offers unparalleled flexibility within your workspace. Comprising a set of three 2x2 Gridfinity tiles, it allows you to:
- Customizable Arrangement: Rotate each tile independently, change their order, or use any combination of one, two, or all three tiles to suit your specific needs.
- Versatile Layouts: Configure the tiles in a linear 2x6 arrangement or as a 4x4 square, leaving additional space for other Gridfinity components.

Printing Notes
- No supports are needed, HOWEVER, the Bambu slicer gives you a warning about "floating cantilevers". You can safely ignore that.
- Weight: Approximately 30g per tile, so it won't use much filament.
- Print time: About 1 hour per tile
- Filament: I used standard black PLA.
