Much better! And while I agreed with the others that it needed to be moved, I was giving you the chance to prove us wrong.

So you went for a satin black surround instead of the chrome you originally intended. Did you attempt to wrap or paint chrome, or you didn’t bother to go there?

More importantly, how are your sensors working? Well? OK with intermittent problems? Or constant false alarms?

Tried chrome wrap, but too stiff to work. Chrome paint looks like chrome paint. Just wrapped it in satin black to give it a mild contrast to the gloss grille.


Sensors work well. No intermittent problems and no false alarms. The right center sensor was early indicating compared to the left center one until I snapped it into the correct location today.

You're not going to let me live this one down, are you?




Yes indeed...Great thanks to mshedden for noticing that. It would have taken me years to see that myself.

LOL. My OCD detects these things in a micro second. That said, its also delayed such that I only notice forgetting the bolt from step 2 when finishing step 14, so I hope at least the work required to remedy was less than equal to doing it all over from scratch!

No problem at all. The holders snap into the honeycombs and the honeycombs are plenty big enough for me to get my fingers in there and relocate the sensor from the front. Took about 10 seconds.

Good to know - you might want to keep an eye on them on the Blueberry Blast, to be sure they haven't moved around. That Marko is a sneaky guy...

Hello friends, have just met my friend and this informed me that he can print adapter again. This gives access to the 3d printer again.
If you want to have some and interest, please contact me.
