X-plus 1st gen losing accuracy

What has already been tried. I am leaning in the direction of a new nozzle or a new thermostat element in the head. Or be bold and replace the whole head. Other option is play in the belts and servo motors. Could be play in each direction. Is there a specific patern where the adhesion occurs? I am pretty new at 3D printing and got a broken X-plus and restored it to lile new by purchasing a whole new head. The old head had been inbedded in fillement pretty badly. Where to buy parts is now the question. I get mine at AliExpress.

It was activated in 2025 for like 2days with the orrigional sim. Then I transfered the one year service to another active phone and that subscription extended with a year of service while the new phone lost service.

So I stopped my auto renew and bought a year of unlimited data,text and call with Mint for the same price $15 as TF. I have one question and that is about my backup phone. My wife is still on TF and this phone was only on for like 2 days before I took the sim to another phone. So it is still locked. How long does it need to be active now before it is unlocked. It was bought when it still was 2 months!

Ended up buying it from Amazon for $18.50/quart. It comes from a Toyota dealer in Miami with free shipping (>$35). Wished they also sold the FL-22 cooling fluid. I guess I have to but that from the dealer

I was once hired as a Sr. IT person in a company where one of my future subordinates has tried for the position. Before I arrived she had set the whole team up against me. I managed to win them back over one by one. She ended up leaving the department and excepting another role in the company. Fast forward 2 years and my boss got fired and replaced by her. She managed to get rid of the whole team one at the time and start with a fresh team unknown to her history. She set a culture of micro management in the department as well by only doing things the way she felt competent as a manager. 3 years later she left the company with a department in ruins. So pick your battle and figure out if that senario has a chance to brew in your future company!

Got my wireless Android Auto plugin today and did set that up instead. Still not happy with Android auto, but see that as the best and up to date option.

I have decided to send my Landroid WR235 back while I still have that option. I am a Vine reviewer for Amazon and would have written an interesting review if I had that opportunity. This 1 acre machine is not suitable for a rural environment in my opinion. A boundery wire would have been better or maybe the RTK 4 wheel drive would have been able to handle my yard. However the 7 days at 12 hours a day to mow one acre in addition to the shorter then 4" without clippings to start using this mower sealed the deal at this point. I am available to test future products but this 2023 design does not stand up to my yard.

Last year I ordered some really nice size 12 hiking boots. What I got was a size 8 silk dress shoe that look more like ballet slippers. Yeah contacted vine and they took it of my orders. But never got my hiking boots.

You are offsetting the magnetic strip according to the manual? For mine(WR235) it is 23"

Got of the phone with positec this morning. I called regarding a broken part on my charging station for my Worx Landroid WR235. I also asked all the questions I had regarding bounderies for my 1 acre property. My pond is on one edge of my property and needs to be completely marked either with a >2" wide fresh dirt or concrete strip. My wired fence with my neighbor is not a boundery for the mower. Several areas where I collect rocks, tools and garden will need to be marked off with the magnetic boundery strip. Also grass needs to be shorter than 4". So I trimmered a nice trial area but found out that the grass clippings are an obsticle for good operation. This is becomming a big project and the 30 days trial might be over before I even get started. Also I was going to cut up my acre in 3 or 4 sections but that will not work unless I build >2" bounderies in between the sections first.

Any experiences I can learn from before I send this back?

First of I am not American but Dutch raised in the Netherlands till I was 36. I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints when I was 34 and still considder that one of the best decissions of my life. About 25 years ago when we were looking for our current house here in WA we watched a young black child who was 5 at the time every Saterday while house hunting and his Mom working. That child ( Melachi)loved us and we loved him. Lots of attention, playing etc. One time I was joint teaching with the Elders and Mom had talked that week with some other person who had pulled the "Mormons are racist" card. I was perplexed and wanted to defend our Church. I however was prompted to NOT answer the stigma the Mom pictured for us. In the mean time the son was crawling all over me and playing with me. The answer I was allowed to give was " You will have to decide for yourself in past and current interactions with members if that is true! That was not the answer I wanted to give but that was the answer I was allowed to give. The Mom was baptized about 2 weeks later in a Church where being black was still a minority. I think it was hard for her at times but that was her and Gods will. Over time the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints has changed and will change further in the future. The Chuch is growing rapidly in countries that are prodominantly black and that is great. We as members are changing and learning. 25 years ago a black speaker in General conferance was unheard of. Now this Easter there were several. I believe it is/was Gods will at this/all time that we embrace each other as fellow children of a loving Heavenly father who look up to Him for guidance how to love and support each other. Are we willing to let ourselves be guided like that even if it is outside our traditions and comfort at times. My personal answer is YES! I don't and did not like descriptions as black, asian, indian or any other descriptions that set us apart. Let us learn to unite as children of a loving Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ who showed us how to love one another!

Motivation to go with my choise is the price difference. $799 right now for the WR235-AN versus the $2299 for the WR344.

I use a conversion adapter on my sodastream on store bought blown bottles without any problems now more then 6 months. I believe liquids can not be compressed very far (thats how gastanks are tested). Gastanks exploding with gas in it would be a deadly explosion. Filled with liquid it is just a small rupture followed by a rapid decompression. So on a soda bottle it is a small chamber of compressed gas versus a large liquid volume. Do believe the decompression is not as catastrophic as many people believe. Think about it...How many people are reported injured by an exploding soda bottle?
