DIY electric coffee maker made with help of 3d printing

Here is a cool DIY project that guides you step-by-step in making your own fully functional electric coffee maker. I LOVE COFFEE!
It uses 3d printed parts as external structure and for lost PLA casting of aluminum parts. Hey, no one said it will be easy: if you want to do it yourself you will need to melt and cast aluminum. Stay safe kids.

Detailed instructions how to put it together are at:
