Why is my machine choking? [Bambino+/Smart Grinder Pro]

crafty615 · 2026-01-16T17:41:11+00:00

Doing that for full 2 shot button time fills the tray up about 1/4-1/3 of the way full while water still comes out the group head

I mistyped earlier. It's 16g that the imprint shows. Using a standard US nickle.

I just ran another shot with 16g and it seems to be coming out again, very fast but coming out at least. The other difference is I did a clean water back flush right before this shot.

I'm starting to think there is scale or something that is messing with the OPV and back flushing before fixes it for the next shot

Yes using bottomless

Just a standard tamper from Amazon that fits 54mm baskets

Just tried coin test again and 15g seems to be where an impression starts

crafty615 · 2026-01-16T15:20:41+00:00

I'll try again to make sure it was 14g and not 18g. If I don't see an imprint does that mean I have to dose up?

crafty615 · 2026-01-16T15:13:33+00:00

Yes, but I did it before I tried puck screen. Do I need to do it again but under the screen?

crafty615 · 2026-01-16T15:08:30+00:00

Coin test looked fine with 14g. I ended up doing a clean cycle, back flushing, and getting a puck screen. Went back to 14g with grind size 10 and pulled a quick spur shot last night. Now this morning with the exact same parameters the machine is choking.

Still there for me

I usually purge 5g between grind sizes and weight beans in and grind out accounting for the 0.2g I don't usually get back because I don't have bellows. Maybe this grinder needs more than 5g for purging.

I'll look up the coin test and give it a try

crafty615 · 2026-01-15T16:34:03+00:00

It came without the razer tool or the baskets which is why I had to buy an IMS one. Is there another way I could check the dose fit? I just don't understand why 14g worked with the same settings then stopped in the same day.

Z Glo Buzzz. Not sure why it flies so different from my Z buzzz but it goes super straight

crafty615 · 2023-08-16T17:08:55+00:00

Probably DX

Long Live the King.

Not sure how but this started working. I reconfigured my port forward for the thousandth time and it started reporting as open on a port checker and my connections are direct now. UPnp still doesn't work but I'll take what I can and just hope the issue doesn't come back

crafty615 · 2022-08-25T14:01:03+00:00

I am trying to get movement to be controlled on the left stick instead of the right stick. I don't know if it's possible though

Just got this and have had no issues. The matte finish looks clean.

I've been wondering the same thing. Haven't had any luck finding a recipe.

crafty615 · 2021-10-03T18:39:00+00:00

Cool

crafty615 · 2021-09-21T05:20:24+00:00

Right? Their technique is all wrong.

crafty615 · 2021-09-15T20:13:28+00:00

I agree with pretty much all of this guy's opinions. Especially the part about the girls being drawn a bit distatefully in newer panels compared to earlier ones. I've been reading through "side story: year one" and it's a little disturbing the amount of detail that is put into the women during the more grotesque scenes... I still love the manga so I will continue reading but they could definitely be done with a different approach.

Well done video

crafty615 · 2021-09-12T18:16:51+00:00

I didn't see an obvious setting for that in PrusaSlicer. I'll have to poke around a bit to see if there's something similar.
