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.

283

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

284

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).

285

Best one this month :slight_smile:

286

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….

287

Thanks for all your hard work TA

288

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

289

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

290

And let the Shipping saga begin!

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

291

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:

292

Wow, I can’t wait……

Thank you

:+1:

293

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:

294

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

295

Got the shipping notice from UPS… :+1:

Thanks T/A! :beer:

296

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

297

Thanks TA. I will cover shipping to WA and NV.,

298

Great work thanks TA! I will also cover cost of shipping. Just let me know how much.

299

Ok, just got back from the post office / UPS.

All the orders should be shipped now and I think they should all be delivered by Monday except the international orders. If anyone has any issues please let me know.

Please post your lumen results, this is the first time I have had any direct comparisons with my sphere and others, so I am very curious what the results are.

The nice thing is that since they are all calibrated the same, if it is determined that the readings are off one way or the other, we can apply a correction factor equally to everyone. I have zero attachment to the “base calibration” of my sphere being accurate to ANSI specs since I have never had a way to compare it. So if we find a better calibration I am more then happy to adjust. This is simply the best I could do with what I had.

Now to clean up the mess all of this left behind and then start back to work on the mods.
