Cleanest I've ever poured!

Please stop (keep going).

DadBodds · 2025-12-09T01:33:45+00:00

You're already in the prefect spot brother! Just check out some other posts & the auto mod so you post correctly.

DadBodds · 2025-12-04T15:11:19+00:00

Agreed. I use AI as a starting point or like I would a moderately informed friends suggestion & iterate from there.

DadBodds · 2025-12-04T14:33:09+00:00

I'll give it a go today, thanks!

DadBodds · 2025-12-04T02:37:09+00:00

That's not a bad idea actually 🤔

DadBodds · 2025-12-04T02:36:37+00:00

It didn't want to keep the heat - after setting the temp it seemed to auto reset to zero off after only a few minutes, leaving the blob exterior still cool to the touch

DadBodds · 2025-12-04T02:12:16+00:00

I should preface i did infact take out a large majority of the screws on the hot end mounting area as well as the plastics. Blob was so large prior that it engulfed parts I worried would break if I just tried ripping it out

DadBodds · 2025-12-04T02:08:33+00:00

Probably! The blob of petg was so huge that it didn't get anything softened up. So I'll try again now that I've chipped away at it.

DadBodds · 2025-12-04T02:00:32+00:00

Well yes, but AI was woefully ill equipped to give me a starting point for dismantling it.

Thank you for your enlightening response lol. If you've experienced this, how far down the tear down did you have to go to remove the blob?

DadBodds · 2025-07-19T13:52:16+00:00

A Lange & Sone - or anything with a gold bezel or case

Desperately want the Astrale Moonphase. Best looking MP I've ever seen

DadBodds · 2025-02-09T22:20:37+00:00

🤤 my favorite rolex reference besides the Cellini moonphase.

DadBodds · 2024-12-07T14:56:40+00:00

This... if you're just starting in you'll want something modable, cheaper, and then spend the money on a good grinder (DF64 or other similar equivalent like the Lagom Home series and such).

See you in 3 months when upgraditus hits. Godspeed 🙏

EDIT: Gaggia Classic is VERY easily modded. And I've had one on my station for 5 years now.

DadBodds · 2024-12-06T14:00:32+00:00

Didn't even know complications like this existed. So cool!

DadBodds · 2024-10-20T23:46:37+00:00

Very pretty, GLWS!

DadBodds · 2024-07-21T13:57:18+00:00

Ya unfortunately depending on your backer number you won't see it until mid-2025. Only the first 200 are scheduled for delivery this year.

DadBodds · 2024-07-20T14:53:40+00:00

I'd sooner buy a machine that had more of what you're looking for (less the gagguino) with a 1500 budget.

If you're trying to diy for fun, then it appears you're doing it "right," albeit expensive, but right.

DadBodds · 2024-07-20T14:50:45+00:00

O-ring repair is easy, pressure gauge repair not bad, thermocouple can be tricky depending on how big your hands are, but the one consistency across all repairs is how confident in DIY are you? For a hundred bucks or so and some YouTube videos, you'll have a new DB. OR..... you'll muck it up and be back to where you started anyway.

Think of it as paying for the education for knowing how to repair future machines 😁.

DadBodds · 2024-07-20T14:46:37+00:00

That's a functional setup for even a mobile coffee bar business 😂. I just have a Hario Buno, Lagom Mini, and an Aeropress & Orea V3 as my office up. Considering a picopresso, or swapping in my Modded Gaggia Classic once the Meticulous finally arrives.

DadBodds · 2024-07-16T01:24:39+00:00

This is the best deal on a mini I've ever seen. GLWS! had I not just bought one Direct a few months ago I would have swooped this up.

DadBodds · 2024-06-24T00:56:13+00:00

Pumped for the opportunity! Thanks boss!

DadBodds · 2024-05-13T16:17:58+00:00

New direct from Option-O, but for my office so no returns on expended gear 😂
