In the world of specialty coffee it is important to have the utmost precision at every stage, and the possibility to integrate a scale into the machine is an important added value. Thus, I created a gadget design of the scale holder for DC machines.

The created design uses a metal wire of the same diameter as the lattice and moves on magnetic conductors (magnetic properties tested).

Software: SolidWorks. Rendering: KeyShot.
