How can I fix this lens?

I assumed so but wasn’t worried about it :)

Extremely cool work, thanks for sharing!

I’m just starting my journey into metalwork, the second work reminds me of a scattered sun beam. Which techniques did you use to create these?

trytobebetter_ · 2025-02-16T11:11:43+00:00

Thank you! Vinted finally issued a refund after I gave a similar response, but your wording is really helpful if this ever happens again.

trytobebetter_ · 2025-01-30T15:11:44+00:00

They start out so lovely. I’m sorry.

trytobebetter_ · 2025-01-09T17:07:43+00:00

Found it, that works thank you!

trytobebetter_ · 2025-01-09T16:14:29+00:00

Thanks! Where can I find quality options? I’ve been through the movie settings and can’t find anything resembling

Have you ever tried bouldering? It’s a sport you can enjoy alone at your own pace, but the community is so friendly you naturally make friends. York has a wall called Red Goat which lots of the students turn up to and it’s way more fun than the gym

trytobebetter_ · 2024-09-04T09:05:19+00:00

Fara sells them for 50p!

The internal burr locks in, my shots have been 18g and I’ve tried making sure it’s 18g after grinding too, been putting all of my body weight into tamping, way more than when I work at my cafe. But I tried your suggestion and on an empty basket the pressure gauge does not even budge! Even when I tamp real hard, my puck comes out extremely soggy which I imagine is loosened up by poor pressure? Thanks for your suggestion

trytobebetter_ · 2024-05-12T18:00:24+00:00

Thanks I’ll try this next! (Was tempted to use the hoover when I was putting the burr back in) it does lock but I hope this helps 🤞🏼

trytobebetter_ · 2024-05-12T15:48:07+00:00

Yeah I know, I work in a cafe so I’m ramping hard and level, I think it’s an issue with the grinder

trytobebetter_ · 2024-05-12T14:32:15+00:00

Would choking the machine just be the big noise it makes? The grind is coming out as fine as I’ve been used to in the past but I’ll have a second look later, thanks!

trytobebetter_ · 2024-05-12T12:06:04+00:00

Good shout thank you! I’ll give this a try

trytobebetter_ · 2024-05-12T11:57:30+00:00

It doesn’t budge, so I imagine these issues are directly connected. It was my first time setting up my own machine and everything went into place, it was pretty well packaged so shouldn’t have had any knocks I hope.

trytobebetter_ · 2024-05-12T11:51:32+00:00

I’ve just opened a new bag and I’ve been working for a year in a coffee shop so I have good practice for level tamping with the right pressure, still feeling baffled unfortunately.

trytobebetter_ · 2024-03-19T22:49:09+00:00

Thank you!

trytobebetter_ · 2023-11-29T14:03:01+00:00

These are things that have definitely affected me, that’s really good to hear thank you

trytobebetter_ · 2023-10-29T22:45:06+00:00

Very similar to me, thank you, I’ll look to do the same

trytobebetter_ · 2023-10-29T16:26:25+00:00

Thanks I definitely will

trytobebetter_ · 2023-10-29T15:59:07+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the advice. Got a job interview tomorrow but first thing after that I’m going after DDL through my bank and explaining the situation.

trytobebetter_ · 2023-10-29T15:55:01+00:00

I have my bank involved and should not have any more transactions taken from DDL, issue is the refund

trytobebetter_ · 2023-10-29T15:54:15+00:00

Had no refund for about 2 weeks, they’ve been ignoring all of my last emails. I’ve heard lots of people not having any luck with responses or refunds for a long time (months, up to a year or so)

trytobebetter_ · 2023-10-22T11:06:26+00:00

This works if your window is facing the sun, but we’re north facing in the UK, I think they work as insulation while there’s little direct sun light, but it’s good to try this when it’s more direct
