And I just realised I put it in the wrong forum section, doh![emoji30]

 

It looks great ?

And I'm sure @Rhys or @Tait won't mind moving it to the right section

 

I love a good lathe video [emoji4]

Great work. I've accidentally killed my pav, but that's for another thread [emoji3061]

Didn't you just get that?

 

Moved to the lever forum [IMG alt=":classic_cool:" data-emoticon=""]https://www.coffeeforums.co.uk//coffeeforums.co.uk/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/cool@2x.png 2x" title=":classic_cool:" width="20" data-src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/cool.png[/IMG]

Looking good!!

 

The only thing it needs now is the piston pressure gauge set .. Good work .. Can you let us know where you got the led heat sink please .

Cylindrical 115mmx50mmx20mm LED Ceiling Lights Heatsink Cooling Fin 2 PCS https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01EZQLHHO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3dubDbDQCH0Y0

These are the ones I bought, comes as a pair, which is useful as one was slightly damaged. I think they are available on eBay too...

And don't tempt me! Although now I think about it, it could be quite a fun addition[emoji848][emoji848][emoji23]

And@joey24dirt, what happened?[emoji51]

Thanks for that .. yes @joey24dirt what have you done ??

 

I'll update my thread [emoji24]

 

I'll update my thread

At least they can generally be revived ?

 

I've noticed the temperature on the sensor may be a bit lower than it should be, and I noticed a tiny gap between the heatsink and the grouphead, so I've ordered some thermal pads. Hopefully this will increase the accuracy of the sensor!

Another thing I noticed was when it heats up, there can be a small leak from the grouphead. It's not major, but irritating and I don't want to let it get worse. Has anyone experienced this?

Yes. It may be time to replace some seals... easy job (lots of videos online) and reasonably priced sets from theespressoshop.co.uk

My Europicolla looks very similar to yours, but I still haven't made a bracket for the led display. Must do.

@joey24dirt, sorry mate. Hope sorted by now, or soon?

 

£150! Wow, you did well! I was pleased when I got my post millennium Pro for 180. It was over a year before it needed seals replacing, and I've added the factory lever gauge with brass piston since so it's bumped up a bit. Love it.

 

I'm so tempted by the piston gauge, but I'm holding off for now [emoji4]

I think once you learn the feel of the pressure it's unnecessary, but then ... when was it cool to be so steam punk? My pav had a nylon piston anyway, so the swap to brass was a bonus.
