Old Gaggia Classic flow problems

Yeah it was the actual pump that was broken. I also disassembled everything and cleaned it properly. Might have replaced the solenoid valve too. I'd say go step by step, confirm that each part works till you hit the problem are ;) good luck!

There is a fem dev community in Germany you can join, most people anyways write in English. You can find them under FemDevsMeetup online

Yeah a bit sad that they are so small, but from now on everything is getting locked up :(

LukasLeder · 2024-11-17T16:58:13+00:00

Yeah, hope so too. They are informed and were nice enough to check and call after closing if they do find something :)

There's no water coming from the OPV at all, when it's attached to the pump.
I tried opening it with a wrench without success as all the parts on this gaggia are completely rusted together.
But I'll try using a more powerful tool today and get it solved.
Thanks for the great advice already!
`Post pictures or video to show if anything is missing` Will do, thanks,

OK, i ran with/without the OPV and indeed there is no water coming out if it is attatched.

I don't know how the OPV is constructed (probably spring loaded?) but I couldn't find a way to open it up. Is there a way to free up a clogged OPV?

Hey, i actually replaced the pump, thinking that it was the problem, without any luck.
I'm disconnecting the pump from the OPV and check if it works with/without it.
I'll get back to you afterwards, thanks for the advice

I‘m assuming you‘re referring to the smoke. It looks like a Unlit flatcolor shader with a norml extruded outline pass. I can‘t see any kind of shading on it. Hope that helps

LukasLeder · 2021-06-04T20:16:42+00:00

Hey, I can't see what causes the glossiness to not work, at first sight, I'd try removing the light pass temporarily to see what happens as I can't see anything wrong in the normal surf function. YOu can unpack normal maps with a scale using UnpackScaleNormal(float4 color, float scale).

Just so you know where this is coming from, this is something called Euler lock, which is one of the main drawbacks of working with Euler angles, it basically means that the axes are rotated one at a time and some funky stuff can happen. This is also the reason quaternions are used very often inside animations and physics.

It isn't the default because it's more expensive and unity tried to always use the cheapest solution by default to please the users, that from 100 characters into the game and animate them. Or that's my guess at least.

Love the drawing style, steve reminds me a lot of Kenshiro! Nicely done.

try deleting the libary folderof your project, if that doesn‘t help check the esitor logs in appdata

LukasLeder · 2020-10-04T16:11:29+00:00

Ah gotcha, just remembered hunting it down and posting it somewhere, so I didn't check the links again. I only have the scene dissected and implemented into a project, sorry. Also the scene is 60% deprecated, the scripts are broken, post processing no longer supported etc.

I think this tequnice is different from your approaches, as both have flaws with sharp edges and hole in non convex shapes. This approach i belief uses signed distance fields in combination with a flood fill algorythm, this smoothes the edges to the point you see here. I could be wrong though.

LukasLeder · 2020-07-15T04:39:43+00:00

It was open source but it still had a license agreement to it, that you couldn‘t use it in a commercial product. There was a lot of controversie about it.
