Was thinking the same about the size. But it's quite subjective. It'll be interesting for you to see how others get on with it over a period of time.

I'll stay tentatively on the list. Since I'll be replacing my Mignon with another grinder in less than a year I won't get my money's worth but I might do it anyway. I applaud your ingenuity.
 
Don't forget to account for play in the worm gear when adjusting to predefined settings as it'll be more noticable with the larger knob. Always going too corse & moving towards fine would would work.

Go big or go home! I went as big as I could because dialling in requires such tiny adjustments. The bigger the knob, the easier it is to make small adjustments and the more detailed the scale you can use. 20% isn't a great deal smaller so I think you'd still manage to fit and use a 1-100 scale but any smaller and you'd have to reduce the scale. I might make more in future if there's demand, and if there's demand for smaller ones I'd give that a go too.
Fair enough. I'm still in.

Thanks for the interest, batch of 10 still underway. I've got all the materials, just been a bit short on time.

I've had mine fitted for 2 months now and I'm delighted with it. It does make life easier when dialling in a new coffee or making small adjustments but the real advantage is being able to switch between grind settings easily. Over Christmas I had a decaf, chocolatey Brazilian and super fruity Ethiopian on the go at the same time. So smug at one stage when I had to make 3 flat whites with each of the different beans but, of course, nobody cared.

Hopefully get looking at it soon.

Yep, thanks for the reminder. Life has been getting in the way! I've got £££ tied up in the parts so I'm definitely going to get them made. Ski trip coming up, will do my best to get them out soon. Sorry for the delay.
 
Amazing!

I'd love to get one off you if you still have any.

Please PM me if possible.

Yes, still plan to finish these off at some stage. Running out of excuses now! The arrival of our second child had a much greater impact on my free time than I would have guessed. I've got a bit more time now but a couple of other projects have jumped the queue. Hope to have an update soon.
