- 3D Model: Search Onshape public library for ”Comandante Click Indicator”
As mentioned in the video, feel free to use as you like but just post something, somewhere. And if this ever is a product, leave a link in the comments, I’ll buy one ;-)
Holy shit. This is what I call a real content. Well done!
Great video and thank you for spending time to create such a solution. I hope Comandante double down on addressing this issue as it is a frustration that shouldn't exist for such a premium product.
Love your creativity. This is such a great solution!
Ingenious workaround! And such awesome quality video! Thanks!
What a great concept, that i also wish Comandante had tried to incorporate something like this from factory. Thank you for putting in the time to work on this.
Perhaps a suitably sized metal washer (the thing that goes with nuts and bolts), or metal shim could very simply have the numbers/markers laser printed on them for this purpose, which would likely not be affected by fines getting stuck in any grooves.
Regarding the height marker to count number of rotations, I think it is a redundant problem, as I believe the real issue with the Comandante is how quickly you can set the grinder, as there is no easy visual reference from factory, and you have to rely on listening to the individual clicks. Once you have installed your individual setting markers, you should already be familiar with the rotations based on the height of the burrs at a glance, or simply remembering what rotation you are on. Because if you zero the grinder, for example, you can turn it quickly to setting "27" by rotating the knob twice, +2, and checking you are on marker 27 visually, and adjusting if you need to.
Great effort. However, I can tell exactly what click I am on just by looking at the dial and the burr in my C40 without any changes to the grinder. Simply zero out the grinder then use one of the three “gear” symbols on the dial as a reference and know on what letter on the burr it is at when the grinder is at zero. In my grinder, my zero is when the biggest gear symbol on the dial is pointing at the letter “O” in the word NITRO on the burr. You can easily till on which rotation you are at by seeing how far the burr is raised.
Thanks, and thanks for pointing this out! However I need some more help with this as I don't remember this sort of encoding table in my head. I haven't been on the wrong click even once after this mod :-)
The best grinder 👍🤩
EXCELLENT, Thanks for your time
The issue with this might be, that once you clean the grinder (should be done every 2 weeks or once a month if you use the grinder just over weekends), you need to reposition the ring completely. Or not?
Smart idea, I think they should learn from this and laser etch the numbers from the factory.
Thank you Thomas, great video. If you can share the 3D printable file version of what you have used, Will be appreciated. All the best
A wonderful customization and it could be taking further by laser imprint ,I can see it done by the manufacturer . Awesome work 👍🏼
Thanks! Yes this would be a nice addition / option to have.
I never understood the issue with the clicks. Your clicks will align with the printed letters underneath, just make a mental note. For example; the 'N' in nitro blade corresponds to settings 8 or 20 on my c40. That's a great jump-off point for espresso or pour-over.
Hello. Great upgrade for the C40. I can't seem to find the 3d model files. Can you provide a link? Thanks
back to the real 0 or a true zero, don't you think this is right from the manufacturer suggestion for the first movement of the handle to be number one, OR, both inner and outer should NOT touching when you freely turn to be CLICK ONE, my concern is that, it is no use when both burrs are touching when you grind, keep zeroing also harm both burrs or this set of burr, really hard to define what is right or wrong??? regular thread and red clix also make a big different for each click… what do you think? Thanks for all the hard work, I dont mean to confuse everyone but this is my wonder
Brilliant👌👌
I think the only thing that matter is just the little stickers on the click and the inner burr.
Indeed it makes things already so much easier. I like to see the numbers also though, maybe this is a personal preference.
How do you ensure the burr stays in the same position when you remove it for cleaning. The white mark most likely will not go back to the 0 position - you have 1 out of 6 chances.
Good point! I would suggest using black marker to mark one flat on the center axle and make a small mark also to the inner burr next to the axle mark. Now when re-installing you can see which of the 6 positions is the correct one.
Edit: optionally tape the handle to the grinder frame in a way that your outer ring and inner burr zero align and use this when re-assembling. This could make the cleaning a bit more difficult depending on your routine though.
Great video, could you send us the link to get your 3d model, Thanks
Hi Thomas Thanks for creating this system. As someone who is Dyslexic haveing numbers on the dial I think will make the workflow more consistent.
What is the difference between your version and the version created by Victor B ?
I am having a copy 3D printed this weekend and would like to know which is the best one to replicate? Thanks
Hi @nicktobey7183 ! Could you point me in the direction of the "Victor B version" ? I have no knowledge of this so can't yet comment :-)
@@quazster It was an updated version posted a month after yours on the Open source 3d printer public library that mentioned in the notes to your video. I am telling Comadante now that they should find a way to integrate a solution like yours into their grinder. They wanted me to email them your youtube video so they could check out your solution. I am urgeing them to move a number system to the top of the grinder in their next version.
Have you considered this for the Red Clix shaft?
Yes I have, the pitch is half (0.375mm/revolution) of the original so I have my doubts if you can really see/feel the rotation you are on. Have not tested though so might work? Also you would need quite a bit more numbers so space might be an issue.
@@quazster yeah, I thought so. Your solution, though very elegant, would become less so with the RedClix.
Same here, absolutely love the idea but i got Red Clix on and I have some doubts too
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you :-)
By learning how much you need to rotate in order to move 5 clicks, it's easy to set up in seconds, though: 23 = 5+5+5+5+3 and so on. This method looks too tedious to me.
Hi Thomas. Just saw this again. I didn't realize it was the same video we chatted about. I was curiou how else it might ever be possible to improve the Comandante!
By the way, have you seen the Pharos or the upcoming Momentem double-set of burrs, hand grinders?
There is no such thing in existence that could not be improved somehow :-)
Pharos and Momentem were totally new to me, just did a quick search. Interesting stuff, my first thoughts are that they most likely produce something interesting and would like to get my hands on those to test. Lets see how the Momentem goes in Indiegogo, hope it makes it!
@@quazster I don't see myself buying another hand grinder any time soon. Maybe the RedClix at some point. More likely IMS Competition baskets or VST for my espresso maker.
Nais rallienkku
Thänk juu veri meni ;-)
Which type of wood finish is that?
Has the static issue continued to be a problem?
Red Sonja. Static is mostly cosmetic issue, the numbers are not always clearly visible. My unmodified J-MAX is still way worse in this regard.
@@quazster "Problems should be solved by those who see them." ~Stephen Donaldson.
I confess I've toyed with solutions in this general direction. You should win an award for following through.
Maybe there's a way to laminate the entire ring before attaching it. or some spray on compound such as the water proof treatment some runners spray on their shoes.
Or even simple clear contact paper. the goal being to cover any nook, cranny, crack or crevasse that might attract grounds.
Are you in contact directly with Comandante or European Coffee Trip?
Seriously, well done. Kudos.
Perfect candidate to sell on Etsy.
@@aryehh7128 Thanks, very good ideas, especially for this proto stage the coating could work! No contact to Comandante, just this video. Lets see what happens, I have no expectations. My motivation for making these videos is that at least one person somewhere learns something new or finds something useful :-)
@@quazster I like seeing good solutions like this, even if they don't become completely widely adopted.
How would this work for Redclix system? I guess just twice as many numbers…
Very good and great work bro. It’s not easy you really worked on it to make it simple, to implement similar to what you have done it takes time. Really a good job. I guess for this matters 1zpresso is much simpler, if you have used 1zpresso please post a comparison video between c40 vs 1zpresso
