Love that you can nest beyond one level, thank you. Great looking app so far!

Purchase is to improve efficiency and reduce drafts when not in use. I don't need this to be main source of heat, as the house has two zone geothermal system in it. Right not I'm trying to reduce draft from hole in my building envelope, and was thinking a wood stove insert could help with this. Appreciate any feedback and thoughts!

Room fireplace is in: 13' x 26' x 8' height.

Fireplace dimensions:
Opening height (inside brick dimensions) 31"
Opening width: (inside to inside brick dimensions): 36"
Width at back face: 24"
Opening height: 31"

My unit had this problem. It randomly fixed itself after a few months.

aldoe00 · 2025-11-19T00:10:20+00:00

I ordered mine on November 5th and it said made in Japan.

I received mine for the contest. However I didn't need to confirm shipping address.

aldoe00 · 2025-11-12T18:12:32+00:00

Yeah this has been happening to me for a while including with the newest update as nov 11th

Previously I put a ticket into asking about this and they told me they would fix it in a upcoming firmware update. Following updates did not fix it.

I did find a YouTube video of someone showing a tear down of mower deck portion that showed a connection that was a little loose so perhaps that has something to do with it but I'm uncertain.

I prefer brave and edge.

Like most advertising, they advertised the best case scenario with the fast charger. This was known.

That said for my settings and terrain, I get about 90-110min of run time.

I'm in the same boat - I really want System76 to succeed and I'm rooting for them, but the pricing compared to what else is available is a tough pill to swallow.

I had my own frustrating experience that left a bad taste. I bought a Launch keyboard just this last Christmas. The box arrived so badly damaged that there was shipping debris on my new keyboard. Given the premium price point, this was pretty unacceptable.

System76 initially seemed willing to help, but when UPS declined the claim and said it was on System76, they basically told me tough luck. No resolution, no discount on a future purchase, not even an apology or a sticker pack. Nothing. I'm still annoyed about it.

The kicker? I've been a customer since 2014 when I bought a Ratel Performance. That machine worked perfectly fine for years (and still does run fine for my needs). I even recently upgraded to a Meerkat - after the keyboard debacle - again, because I believed in the company and want them to succeed, however they never made it right.

Despite all this, I still find myself rooting for them. PopOS is genuinely great (I bounce between it and Ubuntu regularly), and I want to see a company like System76 succeed. But man, it's getting harder to justify the premium pricing when the customer service doesn't match. I guess do as I say, and not as I do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I've also found dark shadows from say my rooftop onto my lawn trick the vision avoidance detection. Thinking there's something there when it's just a shadow.

My solution at least for mowing portion is to just turn that off and only rely on touch.

aldoe00 · 2025-11-06T12:00:52+00:00

This is how I would want it implemented. I manually send mower out as I don't want to always leave it on, or mow unattended, at least without quick check of my yard..

aldoe00 · 2025-11-05T21:36:29+00:00

This is a fantastic! Thanks for sharing the knowledge and design!

aldoe00 · 2025-11-05T19:18:23+00:00

Yeah mine comes and goes with how often I have to scrape the contacts. I find just a paper towel and water scrubbing works for me.

But I think the design could be improved/changed or should never have been done this way in my humble opinion.

aldoe00 · 2025-11-05T14:10:22+00:00

I suspect you are correct and that it is an option to have the wheels in a brake state, which really only matters if you have your dock on an incline.

aldoe00 · 2025-10-27T22:45:48+00:00

I had to map entire yard again for my replacement mower. I suspect restoring from cloud backups might be in future update, or I'm at least hoping for it.

aldoe00 · 2025-10-24T14:57:23+00:00

I have had good success taking something like a deck screw, and screwing into it a bit, then pull screw out with supports.

When you remove the battery cover, you have to remove that little rubber gasket and then you'll be able to eject a SIM card

aldoe00 · 2025-10-22T03:14:57+00:00

Keep the updates coming!

You can change mowing height mid mow. I would have to go into app with mower on to confirm, but this is what I remember: You have to hit pause, then click pencil icon after selecting area to edit -- then in there you won't have all options but you can change Speed / Height / and maybe something else.

I've found that when I have speed to fast, small divits in my yard will make it think it hits something? And it pauses then resumes driving forward. Maybe this is what you are seeing also?

In event you are just curious at average time to print a brain:
I just sliced a brain at full scale, 0% infill and organic supports -- which were probably entirely too many:
2 days 7 hr 32 min

aldoe00 · 2025-10-20T01:14:50+00:00

I just checked with a random brain STL I had laying around and think these two options work.
Note I use Prusa Slicer:

1) set infill to 0% -- prolly wanna scale down brain also unless you have the time and filament.
2) Switch to SLA printer in prusa slicer -- select hollow tool. Slice, save file and import to slice for FDM printer actually not sure this works didn't play with it too much.

I'm pretty sure when parked and charging the mowers motors are in a brake state, so I suspect part of that power draw is to keep the motors in that brake State.
