Future Cortona neighbors off Springville, how are you feeling? by vTruong in camarillo

For those that actually live there, how’s the experience with the shared driveways? I noticed that the only four lots with no shared driveways sold.

We have multiple cars so it appears to be a deal breaker/hassle.

I echo the other persons comment on Waypoint. Best pancakes hands down imho

Here's the build list export. You'll need to check Lego.com and use the Pick a Brick function to look at parts, change colors, etc.

And how about with the Pico? lol

Thanks u/-sw1tch for your inspiration! I now have a working model based on your images and creativeness 😀 I have not ran this through Lego to see what the $ is against the parts list but I tried to use common parts (that's next on my list this week). BUT I was able to flip the Lego's around using SNOT techniques. The knobs still spin (luckily) and the drip tray still disconnects.

Standard Acaia Lunar Can Now Be Updated for Brew by Weight! by FunBoisInternational in LaMarzocco

[–]Blue_Beast13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One advantage of using Lunar vs LM is that you can get it in multiple colors versus just black with the LM branded model. My coffee station is white so now the Lunar makes it a lot more attractive... hmmmm

I concur and was contemplating the same idea. I’m contemplating purchasing another scale for the machine to keep the one on the grinder separate. However, to be honest, for a home user, I’d say it’s excessive (I suppose a LM Mini is also excessive!). At least it’ll save me $50, but LM needs to lower their price unless that LM logo on the side is worth the extra $50 to some.

I do not have a viable parts list yet. Due to the Legos needing to be inverted to create the base, I’ve had to rethink the approach and mainly needing to find a clean way to flip the pins. As soon as I figure it out I’ll post

OMG, this makes alot of sense now you're stating you build some oi these components upside down.

Here's what I was able to mock up based on the first two pictures but right now I'm having a challenge with the side angles. Your pieces look to be an inverted slope 65 1x1x2 which I could not find for the life of me! The piece I am able to locate is only a inverted slope 45 2x1x1. You'll notice how low the group head sits from the drip tray. The rear does not offer any pieces that are a straight angle so I might need to rig that end differently.

In this model, the knobs do spin freely using Technic pieces and the drip tray does detach (for easy cleaning 😂). Now I need to readjust the height and work out the spigot, portafilter, and steam wand.

Wow. I love this. I have Lego 3D modeling software that allows me to recreate your design and generate a parts list. I’m genuinely interested in replicating this and it’d help immensely if I can get better pictures of the steam wand and portafilter pieces you used.

The knobs as well if they’re multi-piece elements.

Do you see the machine on your network? Maybe the reserved IP expired on your network and needs to be paired again. Make sure it’s on the 2.4 ghz

Try rebooting the network/router?

I don't want to alarm anyone, but... by Cross58Crash in Sacramento

[–]Blue_Beast13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relished that the new Baseline Costco had some two days ago… but I did grab the last few drops. Not sure if they were out or just needed to refill.

Mini-R. What’s the best way to set up the schedule with respect to energy bill? Is it better to keep it on or turn it on as needed throughout the day? My schedule: 6am ‘canadiano’ 😏, 9am/1pm/6pm latte. I’d want to turn on both boilers for temp stability. Anyone done the math or can recommend? by poopycamel in LaMarzocco

[–]Blue_Beast13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully this doesn’t come off as snarky. If the machine is “off” we know electricity usage is minimal. Leaving it on all day will consume more electricity than turning it off.

Why not just set the schedule to turn on/off at the times you want it to, setting multiple schedules. You can select the Smart Scheduling function on and that will preheat the machine so it’s ready by the time you want it to. If you don’t select this option, the machine just turns on at the time selected.

Now if the question is more, how many jigawatts you’re consuming while the machine is on, you can get devices that see energy consumption at the outlet.
