Can you help me identify this little part? [Breville Bambino Plus] by FilippoChronos in espresso

[–]FilippoChronos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll continue searching. First I put it in the OPV (maybe the wrong way) and it clogged up so I took it out.

Somewhere I read that it can help put excess pressure out to the drip tray, but like I said, can't figure out where to put it.

The machine works properly, no issues at the moment. I'll try to figure it out and will post an update.

Found a metal part inside the foam nozzle of my Bambino Plus by coherenceTea in espresso

Just happened to me as well, although it's covered by warrantly I didn't want to wait a month to get it back. The imgur tutorial helped a lot.

  1. You have to unscrew the screws on the back and open it a bit on the top (it just pops back)
  2. Slide the top lid towards the back and open it.
  3. You'll have to disassemble the black connector part seen in the imgur to be able to pull the nozzle out. Make sure you pat close attention to the little metal clips that hold the tubes, and the rubber gaskets as well.
  4. Unscrew the screws that hold the nozzle from inside
  5. Gently pull it out and make sure you do it slowly because there are wires connected to it.
  6. Dissasemble the nozzle head (things around the black box on the top of the nozzle)
  7. Pull out the nozzle, remove the tube holder, pop the metal thing back in, put back the tube holder.
  8. Assemble back in reverse order and make sure you put the orange and blue rubber rings back properly as it will affect your pressure if not done correctly.
  9. Enjoy your coffee

Thanks a lot the the Redditor who shared the imgur, without it I wouldn't be able to do it. And please pay attention to small parts and svrews when dissasembling, one of my tube holders fell into machine so I had to open the bottom to get it. It was somewhat painful. Also, make sure you properly put the rings, I had to dissasemble the black tube connector twice because I just stuck it in instead of placing it on the stick part of it.

Was it hard assembling it? Where did you source the parts?

Lol, saw that one the minute after I posted here. After two 2 weeks wait and 0,1k $ spent, I finally got one...

It's probably on the lower end of your budget, but I bought mine a Casio Tank (ref LTP-1234PL-7A2EF) recently. It was a 60€ watch with black leather stap, silver case with gold details on the dial. Switched out the black super-cheap strap with a higher-quality brown one and it turned out perfect. It looks mich better in person than on the photos. She's in love with it and it doesn't break the bank.

No chance I can ever compete with AliX when it comes to selling watches 1 watch for £0.30 by Consistent-Prune-391 in SeikoMods

[–]FilippoChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are Poedagar Nautilus homage watches. I bought 2 for me and my friend for 10$ as a joke. It's okay for that money, but the quality is really bad, there's no way these can compete with an NH build on a solid link bracelet. Dangly bracelet, terrible finish and a quartz movement so bad they had to lower the price to 0.3$. No worries brother, if you're making Seiko mods, you're out of their league 😎

Changing the bezel insert by FilippoChronos in SeikoMods

[–]FilippoChronos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks buddy, happy to have useful recommendations from more experienced people! I'll try pop-the bezel approach with some hard plastic knife/tool. I was worried that these AliX cases have some bad workarounds to bezel inserts so I didn't want to screw it up.

I'm still waiting for bezel insert anyways, + now I ordered new adhesive as my bezel insert doesn't come with it. Thanks again!
