I have played with the Hedone Honne for over a week now.
Another CS member CleanFinish (who is a long time owner of a Versalab) reached out to me about the 3D funnel printing. Although I wasn't able to help him, he was able to help me with his tremendous wealth of coffee knowledge. I received much needed advice in dialing in and using the grinder. He even went above and beyond with virtual dialing/tasting lessons to assist me in the grinder adjustments with my Decent on LR V2 profile.
Grind Setting Marker Reset
A great tip he gave was resetting the grind setting marker on the top funnel. I closed the burrs so they're touching to find the zero point. Then backed off the grind setting and stuck a piece of tape to establish a new marker at the front of the grinder (around hedone's '8' marker). It was much easier to see now that it's in the front of the grinder. Then after a few more adjustments to grind setting, I reset the front 8 sticker again so that for espresso, I know the likely range would be +/- the 8 range.
I won't comment much on the grinder performance yet as I haven't tried enough grinders to compare or have the palate to describe the differences. The beans I use are of the el cheapo variety. I have ordered some expertly roasted light beans from Artificer to see if I can taste any difference.
Hedone Honne Dislikes
Currently I have 2 main dislikes:

Vernier scale
While replacing the front marker, I have also printed a Vernier scale for the top funnel marker. This will allow finer adjustments in the absence of a digital readout (like the Heycafe H1). I believe 'jkim makes' came up with this idea on the Lagom P100.
On the Hedone sticker, the gradation markings are on a 45mm radius arc @ 1.85-2.00mm per marking.
The inner funnel is around 41mm radius, so I printed a bunch of vernier scales between 10.5mm per 7 gradations to 11mm. It turned out a number of around 10.8mm for 0-0 to 1-0 aligns well for my machine.
Note: the Hedone sticker looks to be stuck on by hand, so there are some alignment issues as well. The sticker inner border of larger numbers on my machine are further out from inner funnel than lower numbers. Due to this, the top funnel marker would only be accurate for a section of the markings (good enough for espresso only, since you'll only move +/- 1 number). Having stuck on this vernier scale by hand as well, I know from experience that it's near impossible to get good alignment by hand, unless the sticker is cut to be hard up against an edge.
This would always be an issue if the measurement scale is hand stuck on instead of laser etched or machine finished.
Vernier scale at work - difficult to see in a photo as you have to view the readings front on.

Sticker runs closer to funnel the lower the number - suggests hand stuck on.

Hedone Honne Dislikes
Currently I have 2 main dislikes:
- The marking stickers are not of normal decimal scale (not 5 marks or 10 marks per number). The numbers are also situated in between 2 gradations. I don't see the point of having these stickers, why not just use the TITVS approach and etch normal markings in.
- The packaging - my hedone was damaged by DHL. Diana (Hedone Sales) has been very considerate though and actioned to remediate this issue straight away. The customer service is top notch.

hence very impressive how you manage patiently put another 9kg.
