Grind size adjustment with grammage
Here is a graph of the grind size adjustment for different grammages with the 46mm basket. For this test I kept constants: 1:2 ratio, 9 bar and then aimed for 30s. If to fast a flow I went finer to adjust until I got 30s. I have kept the error range in there. For comparison, at 10g, the grind size is similar to my IMS competition, 58mm. Here the grind settings for 30s flow - left to right: 10g, 14g, 18g And here the pucks - left to right: 22g, 18g, 14g, 10g

Grind setting change with basket diameter, at constant 1:2 ratio, 9bar, 30s
I used 4 baskets with different diameter to test the grind size adjustment. I kept all other variables constant, like flow rate, pressure and time of shot. Some things of note: My 50mm basket is a high flow version - more on that later. 58mm basket is an IMS compeition 46mm is my GRAPH 36mm is a prototype made be me Please note, I have shown inside diameter of the basket - 36mm, 46mm, 50mm (aka 49 in the La Pavoni world where dimension was based on the tamper rather than ID),

Some machines trialed as part of development
This basket should fit most 58mm machines. If your machine uses a standard 58mm basket and is used at the recommended doses, it should...

QC of parts
Fine adjustment ahead of manufacturing run. Tamper base plate dimension 45.8mm +-0.1mm. And fit of the funnel for minimal gap ~0.25mm.

On April 13, the first 58:46mm basket is born
I received the first sample from manufacturing. This first sample had more rounded edge at the base of the basket to help the material...
