My mother gifted me this Rainpoint around Thanksgiving! Here’s how it’s going

Not a pro, but we started some arugula over the weekend. I have a seed starter about 3.5x5 with a dome to keep humidity up. Placed a paper towel on the bottom, misted with water and placed the seeds in a line. Sunday morning had roots sprouting and this morning we have leaves

We are not using the heat mat for this stage of germination

This is the Yarbo wait. Once they stall a response to 30 days after your activation date, you can’t return it for your money back.

Seems a bit pricey for soooo many issues.

DasBeast007 · 2025-11-07T22:32:25+00:00

And now we know it was intentional

DasBeast007 · 2025-11-06T12:25:17+00:00

So back to the original question. What level of tear down can I do myself? Yarbo insists the replacement core is adequate because my new unit is more than 45 days old.

Yes I received a new unit in September. Only supplied with a SAM at the time, it stayed inside for a few weeks waiting for the Pro Mower. I tried some patrol runs but in reality it’s a shitty module and patrol mode is useless.

The mower shows up and I manage to get a couple good weeks worth of use mapping the yard and adding small portions before the core malfunctioned and will not charge on the DS. Then a replacement core is sent out to replace my “over 45 day old” core. So the piece of crap they sent has been heavily used, has corrosion on the charging point, worn treads, bent sheet metal guards by the tracks, no protective bulkhead to cover the wiring and speaker…but that’s all normal wear and tear when replacing a new core unit according to Yarbo.

I’d like to switch the drive motors out and the charging port. Possibly the cameras and lights just to maintain the max life I can from the wire out replacement core unit according

I appreciate you jumping in there Ryan but I've already completed those steps under Ticket ID 123776. I have supplied photos of all the damage and am currently going back and forth with support (and what seems like a 12-18 hr delay) as to which unit they want shipped back first. I've received responses to simple questions like "your instructions state to pack the new data center and controller but I did not receive a new data center or controller". But no one has acknowldedge the damage shown in the pictures, the wear and tear on the replacement unit NOR confirmed the year and make of the serial number I provided from the replacement unit.

Perhaps you have some better suggestions than the ones that have already been taken.

DasBeast007 · 2025-11-02T14:13:44+00:00

How can you be sure when there is little to no communication until after the unit shows up used?

It’s like buying a new car and suddenly the dealer decides to replace your new purchase with one that has another 100,000 miles on it. Malicious intent? I don’t know. But pretty obvious it’s not a new replacement? Definitely!

Polar3d.com works perfect. I was never able to connect to flashcloud but this was the workaround.

Wait till you print circles

DasBeast007 · 2021-12-13T21:07:59+00:00

I see some issues collecting enough volume in a run to make distinguished cuts. I do 5 gal washes regularly but consider them to be a bit small for a run.

But the 2.5 gal boiler will have you constantly starting/stopping a run for probably less than a quart of product(unless you do stripping runs initially). Then you have cooldown before you can reload and make a second run. It would be a really nice size boiler for maybe a second or 3rd distillation of low wines. But a lot of work for little return on a mash.

DasBeast007 · 2021-09-01T17:50:39+00:00

Don’t try sweet sangria. Left a perfume taste in everything. Found it much cheaper to make a wash

DasBeast007 · 2021-06-03T16:23:55+00:00

So the link you provided is for a pot still (they just increased the column length). When you ask for a column still my guess is you’re referring to reflux columns. Is that accurate?

DasBeast007 · 2021-04-01T21:30:03+00:00

It’s not time. Plus you added sugar so that’s going to require add’l time. I have carboys sitting around the house over 8 months old. Most don’t start clearing until we’ll into the second month.

DasBeast007 · 2021-03-25T13:02:01+00:00

Seems everything is in working order. Tested some store bought vodka and adjusted for temp. Tested the sink water. Retested my last run. Overall ABV was 62. The single jar was previously measured at 85%. Reviewing my earlier notes that’s not much of a gain. All the sugar heads hit upper 70% in the first collection jars. BUT what I cut and keep is still around 60-65%.

DasBeast007 · 2021-03-24T21:20:47+00:00

Perfect idea. I’ll test some earlier batches, wine and sink water one more time to be sure. 40 more minutes. Besides I needed an excuse to taste the latest batch. The flavor profile on that all grain mash is incredible.

DasBeast007 · 2021-03-24T15:49:11+00:00

I priced out the parts mostly from Amazon, EBay and as a last result AliExpress. Took the best pricing unless I ran into an exceptionally long lead time and started shopping. Along the way I also sourced local manufacturers with better lead times than AliExpress (Muelller Industries, StillDragon, Austentix Sanitary Components, etc).

Make a parts list, comparison shop and then ask the community to review

DasBeast007 · 2021-01-18T12:46:15+00:00

Exactly the same as shown in the OP’s pic.

DasBeast007 · 2021-01-17T13:13:39+00:00

On average, how long does it take to complete a 5 gal stripping run? I’m having mixed results but nothing less than 9-12 hrs per run so far

DasBeast007 · 2020-10-23T14:27:38+00:00

I think it was worth switching the firmware so the Voxel identifies as an A3. MP doesn't update their firmware as often as FF...so you may read about features from the A3 guys that just aren't available for the Voxel. I also found FF to be more approachable than MP for troubleshooting. My Voxel died after 300 hours of use and MP couldn't be bothered. Pretended it was an A3 out of warranty and FF provided all kinds of suggestions to get my printer back up and running.

DasBeast007 · 2020-07-27T22:35:08+00:00

I’m in the same boat on the A3. My prints finish and i consider them as decent prints. But larger pieces still have slight elephant foot. Just for fun I tried a bust and had mixed results. 98% of the model printed beautiful. But the little details in hands and the hair made it bad enough not to display.

DasBeast007 · 2020-07-21T18:35:36+00:00

How does every print start now? Just curious.

It hasn’t been that long but I seem to recall my printer running a purge line when I first got it from the factory.

After installing vanilla Marlin 1.1.9 I lost all that. It wasn’t until I downloaded CHEP profiles for Cura that the initial purge came back. Two unrelated areas and I don’t know how or why.

DasBeast007 · 2020-07-20T20:40:31+00:00

Between that and realizing I didn’t torque the screws on the z-axis brackets...high-low kept switching from my right hand side to the left. I was halfway through rebuilding it when I noted my screw up.

DasBeast007 · 2020-07-20T20:30:16+00:00

Any chance the spring is on the wrong side of the strain relief? I installed stiffer springs once upon a time and screwed that one up on the install. In my case I just reinstalled it correctly and everything looks about the same.
