Instead of the plunger this is a sizeable bellows I use with a dosing cup (might be a bit much for grinding into a filter - not sure but easily cut down).

Its 0.6mm thick in the bellows at the thinnest part with thicker base to insert into the hopper and top to support the lid.  I used a 0.6mm nozzle for a decent print.

It will work if its all in TPU but you can also start and end with PLA or PETG for sligtly different effect (both bond to TPU just need a filament change) and you will need a rigid lid . Looked nicer but over time the bonds failed on my PETG / TPU one and the lid makes a better seal with TPU so will possibly rework to optimise that.
