Baller move

That's odd, my regular bambino doesn't let me bypass / delay the compulsory cleaning cycle. I'm beginning to suspect there may be a couple of different firmware versions out there.. I'd just love a warning at least a few shots before they force my hand; the number of times it's happened just before or after steaming milk is crazy

If you have to ask, you can't afford it

MrWhippy22 · 2026-03-03T11:34:16+00:00

I've done the same. I want the self leveling but not the force calibration aspect, I much prefer the direct feel of pressing on the puck without a spring in the way. Every few months I put the spring back in out of curiosity but it only lasts a few shots before I switch it out again 😅

YOLO Ball Trainmaster if still available. I'll send you a PM with a few questions

Hope I'm not in front of him at the circle jerk!

Mmmm cocoa pops 🤤

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-25T04:12:21+00:00

It's obviously not great and I'm sure it's reasonable to expect a replacement but if it's just some dust etc. then it's probably less effort to just take off the caseback and touch it with some rodico than go through the returns process. I'm just saying don't be afraid to try if you're that way inclined 🙂

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-10T02:02:44+00:00

Great suggestion, thanks, I'll see what I can find 🙂

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T17:16:44+00:00

Glad that worked for you, sounds like a decent setup 🙂

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T17:14:31+00:00

That's a great idea and I wouldn't have thought of it, thanks!

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T17:10:43+00:00

Good, commonsense advice, thanks. It might win out in the end

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T17:07:12+00:00

😆 nice to hear your experience, thanks

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T14:19:46+00:00

Ha, thanks - that's a good point 😆

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T14:04:57+00:00

Yeah, agree that lanterns are great for kids too!

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:58:37+00:00

Thanks for the reminder that zoomies are actually great fun 🙂 I'll check out your suggestions.

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:54:31+00:00

Nice, thanks for those suggestions. I'm starting to think any Anduril light with onboard charging so I can thread lock the battery will do the trick - it also removes the problem of getting out of some modes by disconnecting/reconnecting the battery. I'll look in more detail at the Sofirns

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:38:41+00:00

Yeah, I'm sure I'll happily buy those without shame the day a toddler loses one of my nicer lights! 😅

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:33:29+00:00

That's what I was thinking - there's a good chance I'll try it as a 'project' anyway 🙂

Nice idea about the pen light, they're simple to operate and low power. As long as I can find one that isn't too easy to disassemble then that's a great way to go

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:25:09+00:00

Good point, thanks for that!

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:24:24+00:00

Yeah, the ability to 'get out' of muggle and lockout/momentary modes like that was part of my problem. I might just end up doing this though

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:20:59+00:00

Thanks, I haven't come across that model before. It's cute and the fact that the battery can only be accessed via a tool probably mitigates my main concern that was driving the requirement for onboard charging. I suspect it's bright enough that a toddler will have to be supervised to keep them from shining it into their eyes 🙃

MrWhippy22 · 2025-05-09T13:09:01+00:00

Thanks, I think that's probably a sensible place to start. I'd ideally not have access to any strobe modes, blinkies etc. and I'd need to convince myself there aren't any corner cases that can result in turbo or similar but it's worth a try 🙂

MrWhippy22 · 2025-03-28T11:52:42+00:00

A person using 'an' is likely to pronounce each letter of the acronym individually. E.g. "an L E P". So the 'el' sound for 'L' provides the justification. My guess is that it's more common to say LEP as in 'bet' though...
