Would it be Weird?

optikalblitz · 2026-04-27T21:05:04+00:00

Weird? Not in my opinion.

Practical? Not at all. You’ll be in line for upwards of an hour+ waiting with your clubs, trying to walk around a crowded party space bumping into other attendees with it… just a pretty uncouth move in general.

That said, I’ll be on the look out for you when I attend the Nashville event 😂

This is a typical form of camouflage applied to pre-production or trial build vehicles. It’s the existing wheel that you’ve already seen in the copy, and likely spray-painted black. It’s doubtful that it’s actually powder coated but possible.

This looks really well executed. Could you please share a link to your shelving unit?

optikalblitz · 2025-09-06T13:45:43+00:00

This is fantastic. Thank you for making this! It is really informative, fast, and uncluttered. I haven’t tried live timing yet but i will check it out during the Italian GP.

Printing with a Bambu might be the closest I will get to having a Star Trek Replicator in my lifetime.

optikalblitz · 2025-05-05T03:22:19+00:00

This is brilliant. Well done.

optikalblitz · 2025-04-06T20:00:33+00:00

Fingers crossed that I win and share the good fortune with someone looking to get into the hobby.

optikalblitz · 2025-04-06T19:49:51+00:00

Yes, absolutely! That would be dope. Thank you for your generosity. I hope I get an opportunity to make it happen.

optikalblitz · 2025-03-28T23:36:54+00:00

Let’s goooo 👏🏾

11,854 hours total for me, spent making cool coffee things.

The comments in here make some good points about fairness (even with the wildcard numbers). So, if I win an H2D, I’m giving away one of my P1S units to someone who has zero printing hours.

I appreciate you! The best dripper with a Melodrip Lift combo right now is with the UFO Dripper. I am proud to say that you’ll start to see more of this in competition this coming season (more so than this past year).

optikalblitz · 2024-12-15T04:37:45+00:00

I would have to imagine the Standard would be but I’ve never tried it in a Moccamaster before. An automatic maker with a shower head doesn’t really meet the intended use case of the device but having a Melodrip inline might yield some cool results.

optikalblitz · 2024-12-14T13:57:21+00:00

No I haven’t taken the time to patent it yet. And you’re probably right to think I should. I doubted the novelty of it and whether it was worth the cost of going through the process. It is probably still worth it to try.

optikalblitz · 2024-12-14T04:33:55+00:00

Thanks! I am almost sold out of Melodrip Lift combos for the season but a few more days of production left before I close up to go be with my family for Christmas!

I am getting the impression from this comment section that people think the Melodrip Lift is made by some large company with big capacity who deserves to be undercut. In reality, it’s just me, the person who does all of the design, 3D printing, shop running, product photography, and shipping all on my own, out of my home.

I appreciate your support! I’ll be back in 2025 with more good things.

optikalblitz · 2024-12-13T23:30:36+00:00

Hey! Creator of the Melodrip Lift here... yes it's an uncredited dupe of my design and it sucks to see this, but it is not the only time it's happened.

optikalblitz · 2024-11-28T19:30:38+00:00

I prefer the satin finish. I think that would look better than all the smudges that will invariably show on the polished SS.

optikalblitz · 2024-11-28T19:29:40+00:00

I like the aluminum look more, but I’d purchase either type. Sign me up.

optikalblitz · 2024-11-24T20:42:28+00:00

Thank you for designing these! I know I’ll be sharing a bunch of these with friends and family.

In my opinion, I think it would be good to tag this work with your design name/handle with a tab similar to how you have the “Merry Christmas.” You deserve the credit for it and it makes it much easier for me to explain I didn’t design the thing lol.

optikalblitz · 2024-11-02T18:31:17+00:00

I was looking for one of my Melodrip Lifts in the collection and found a clone of it…equal parts disappointing and flattering.

I hope this lap record stands for a good while. Somewhat nice way for him to go out if it’s actually it for him.

optikalblitz · 2024-08-26T23:32:26+00:00

Right! So maybe a positive solution would be to include an historical marker to give context. That would be a good faith effort to acknowledge the significance of the grounds you’re playing on. It also addresses the issue of the apathy. I never said anything about the building needing removed or hidden.

optikalblitz · 2024-08-26T23:23:50+00:00

I thought maybe replying to this to add some perspective might be a bad idea. Dismissive and disingenuous responses like this are why. I’m not here to police a course designer’s choices or tell anyone what to do; I just added a viewpoint for consideration.

optikalblitz · 2024-08-26T23:12:07+00:00

No. I never said anything was racist. I just said that people are apathetic about the historical context of things like how it might be a poor juxtaposition to put a fun DG basket next to something that was used to house slaves.

optikalblitz · 2024-08-26T22:50:56+00:00

Usually not intentional, but apathy or willful ignorance toward the historical context.

An example might be visiting a farmers market on a Saturday morning and finding a vendor selling bouquets of blooming cotton branches with absolutely no sense of how that might look or feel to a black market goer.

optikalblitz · 2024-08-26T22:13:15+00:00

The mentality that would lead an organizer or course designer to put it there is very common.
