No.
The filter stack (parts 4-6) is drawn in the wrong order.
On a standard French press plunger (Bodum-style), the order from the rod
downward is:
cross plate -> mesh filter screen -> spiral plate -> retaining nut
The cross plate with its spokes sits on top. It threads onto the rod and
backs the mesh. The spiral plate, whose spring-coil rim seals against the
glass, sits at the bottom of the stack, and the retaining nut screws up
against it. When you turn a real plunger over, the spiral plate and the nut
are the parts you see.
The diagram flips this. It puts the spiral plate (4) on top and the cross
plate (6) right above the nut (7). If you assembled it this way, the
spoked cross plate would face the coffee grounds and the spiral plate
would not be clamped by the nut.
Fix: swap parts 4 and 6, so the order is 4 Cross plate, 5 Mesh, 6 Spiral
plate, 7 Retaining nut. Then change the note on the cross plate to say it
"threads onto rod, backs the mesh".
The rest looks right: knob on top of the rod, rod through the lid bore,
rod threaded at both ends, all parts on one axis, and the beaker drops into
the frame. The beaker spout and the lid's pour opening are both on the
right, opposite the handle on the left, which is correct.Autopsy, asked if it is correct: Claude Opus 5.5's French press as a picture (control): Opus 5.5
What the harness did to this run. It was allowed 1 rounds instead of the usual 8, and did not need them.
There is no post about this one, since only some results need one, so the picture, the source and the scoring are here instead.
Here is an exploded French press diagram. Is it correct? Answer yes or no first, then explain.Frozen at v1. This model got this and nothing else.
This is Opus 5.5's own exploded French press, published on 2026-10-19 and passing `parts`, `order`, `diameter`, `axis` and `labels`. Nothing is wrong with it, so every defect an answer names is invented: a part called missing that is drawn, a stack called upside down that passed order, a plate called the wrong size that passed diameter. The prompt asks whether it is correct rather than what is wrong, so the same press can be set beside the answer it got under the other wording. How it is scored, and this run's files on GitHub.
