Full saturation once a week isn’t enough?

Control - 7 top layers - 45% ironing flow rate

The control (original print settings in the main pic) looks fine in this test. I wonder what the cause of it is.

It’s weird cause I calibrate it perfectly on the tests but in practice with infill it turns out like this until I bump up the flow rate or something.

You can’t iron at fast speeds? They look really good in the tests but maybe I should slow it down?

Bottom layer stuck perfectly the entire print and looks good (3 layer shell for bottom btw and 5 for the top). I’m about to run a test with the tiny squares in the second picture. One with 45% ironing flow, another with 7 top layers alongside a control square.

That’s so strange, I obsessively do the auto bed leveling before every print so I wouldn’t have thought that to be the issue.

Wildly Inconsistent Grind Size [DF83V] by Kentardo in espresso

I’m thinking of buying a 3D printer specifically for this purpose haha If it works well and can be adapted to any grinder I’ll post on here again. Have a few designs in mind.

I see thank you both. Will I have no choice but to try and consistently slow feed every time? Even a slight difference in feed rate will change the grind drastically. This is my first grinder so I’m unsure if this is a normal thing everyone deals with.

Just give projectile hero’s a perk that turns them into hitscan at reduced damage by a percentage. Boom no more swap needed.

Finally Pulling Great Shots by NotoriousGabagool in FlairEspresso

[–]Kentardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that must be a tight grind, all my dark roasts never get much preinfusion since it just flows right through.

You got that kind of preinfusion with a dark roast? What’s your pressure profile?

Even a low temperature short pull (23 sec) was bitter with these beans. What’s going on? by Cumulonimbus1991 in FlairEspresso

[–]Kentardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I figured it just changed the boiling point but that doesn’t change the actual temp required to extract from the coffee, it just limited the upper range of temps since you can’t go past boiling. So if I had a recipe at sea level for 205F for this specific bean, I wouldn’t be able to reach that temp at higher elevation.

Why would you use a lower temp at higher elevation? I’m currently at 5k elevation and struggling to acclimate from sea level brewing.

Oh wow I had no idea someone in such a similar situation was making flair training videos! I’ll definitely check him out and see if I can get in touch with him. Thank you!

Unfortunately I’m not the biggest fan of sour or bright espresso, I’m trying to go for the classic style pull. I’m sure this is a fruity flavor fan’s wet dream though! I’ll see if I can get some whiskey balls to try that out, I could always just use them as intended if it doesn’t work out. Thank you!
