And the cost of the printer, my dolce gusto machine cost me AU $ 7.50
from the Salvation Army Opp shop and It looked like it had never been used.
The adapter seem to be able to cost 12.48 euro landed (But I am probably
wrong and they only ship local) ?If I can read dutch which I can not. so
10 pounds plus cost of buying printer does not seem like a good deal.

Not sure, I have the outer case (dolce gusto pod) and the inner
(Expressi)but the bought adapter seems concentric and the home printed
one seems off centre and not sure how to seal it, I tried just putting
one in the other after clearing the the old grounds but it did not work.

PLA is the wrong plastic, it softens in hot water, maybe ABS or Nylon.

Or print it in PLA and make a casting in epoxy resin.

If you own the printer, it's pennies to print. The price of a tenner was
from an online printing service, which I'm sure you have local versions of in
..au, or services from China if you aren't in a hurry.

Alternatively, the STL file shows what to make out of another material by
hand.

Chrome usually does a pretty decent job of translating non english web

epoxy is almost completeley inert chemically once set.

Stove at 100C after mould is removed to ensure that no chemistry is left
on the surface

What stopped you this time from looking it up whether it's "food grade", and
posting the link, you "all-knowing", senile pest?
