Texas_Ace BLF Calibrated Lumen tube / Sphere No math skills needed - Several spheres still available

This is one of the options I am considering, testing showed that it should work. The issue with this option is that it will not stand up with only 2 bends and becomes either a U on the desk or a very award shape that does not balance.

The readings turn out close enough to calibrate though.

Well if you do so you can call it the Texas Ace U-tube. Pretty catchy name! :smiley:

Might work with a 45 degree bend in place of one of the 90 degree bends, though. :wink:

Ok, I think we just figured out the issue and the good news is it is semi-easily correctable.

The 4” only has an adapter that steps down to 2”, I need another adapter to step down to 1.5”. This adapter was the issue. After modifying it so it does not shroud the meter as much the readings are right in line with what I expected them to be at the start. I never would of guessed that little bit would make such a large difference.

So now to start building the 4” and hopefully finish those today and start shipping tomorrow.

Sounds good man. Good luck. :+1: :beer:

Great news! It’s good to know it was fixable with a slight mod, and no need to buy more parts (or scrap parts already bought).

Best one this month :slight_smile:

Ok, Quick update.

After another marathon sphere building session with the whole family helping out we managed to get all the spheres built, calibrated and packed up. Tomorrow I will start the shipping process.

Now to go fall into bed….

Thanks for all your hard work TA

Nice going TA!! . :+1: . :beer:

Wow, ahead of deadline and under budget. :+1:

And let the Shipping saga begin!

Tracking numbers should start going out via paypal over the course of the day.

Within the deadline but I wish it was under budget, more like way over budget in both costs and massively over budget in time. :weary:

Wow, I can’t wait……

Thank you

:+1:

Lol, I was thinking from consumers point of view. We got it under budget of what it actually cost. Plus I was not expecting it to be done so soon.

From your side of project: way over budget in both costs and massively over budget in time.

Sorry about that. You have many happy customers, though. :beer:

lol, true. I try my hardest to stick to my word whenever possible.

Got the shipping notice from UPS… :+1:

Thanks T/A! :beer:

Thanks for your hard work i’m sure it will be over my expectation. Next projekt you do…… I’m in/ Micael
