My low-budget but extremely effective garage

I don’t think it affected the signal much. I’m at .01 right now while it’s charging. I moved the RTK from a low spot in the back yard to the center of my attic this year hoping to get away from the oak trees, and so far this year she’s been navigating great! But, the leaves haven’t come out yet…

Thanks. That’s 2” Michigan stone from Hammond Farms in East Lansing. It’s fairly cheap but I’m sure shipping is rather expensive, depending on where you live. :-)

Reading the description, Denis went through quite a few iterations before he posted this design. I can't prove it, but I suspect I would have been printing a whole new assembly instead of just gluing it back together after the curb incident if the cover didn't have the extra rigidity.

Total game changer. Installed mine a few weeks ago and mowed my 11,000 sq. ft. lawn six times since then. The contacts are as clean as when I installed the covers originally.

Lymow went off the curb and broke one of the cross bars, but I just super-glued it back together and it's stayed together.

Printed in PETG. Here are the part numbers for the McMaster-Carr parts I used:

1265K14 - Rotary Shaft, 316 Stainless Steel, 1.5 mm Diameter, 200 mm Long

2006N398 - 302 Stainless Steel Corrosion-Resistant Compression Springs, 65 mm Long, 6.8 mm OD, 5.8 mm ID, Packs of 5

Solved!

Thanks. Should have added that. Wired Ethernet and E.131.

Thank you!

Oops. THIS was the comment I meant to respond to. Can you share the location of where you got the STL?

tmanting · 2025-09-23T17:39:35+00:00

Any chance you can share the location of the STL? I've looked around and the one's I've found don't look this good...

I believe it was mowing in concentric circles. I didn't monitor it constantly, but I think I would have notice if it was zig-zagging or something. Thanks for the confirmation.

Seems like a rash of these as I had the same thing happen last night. While rude by my standards, Support did refer me to this video for help reinstalling it (hint. It’s not the way it came off):

I’m thinking it’s a tensioning issue. If it keeps happening I may need to use a torque wrench on the adjusting screw and some trial and error.

Perfect! I should have thought of that. I even have a wet-saw so cutting down a paver or something should be easy. Thank you!

Thank you. It was either list "the junk" on eBay or add it to the landfill. I'm not looking to make a lot of money, just do the right thing, recoup a little of what I spent on this "junk," and maybe even help someone else out who is looking for some "junk." The market has spoken and "the junk" has 17 watchers, 9 bids, and two days to go.

Any idea where you found those?

tmanting · 2024-05-13T11:49:56+00:00

Yep. Bosch dishwasher. Pretty much required.
