Re: First parrot build
Fill it with water, drop the hydrometer in and measure how much liquid it holds to better understand your “smear volume”. I bet it’s more than 250ml.

You should put a small ball of stainless mesh in the bottom of of the main tube so when you drop the hydrometer in it does not break.still_stirrin wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 6:39 am Fill it with water, drop the hydrometer in and measure how much liquid it holds to better understand your “smear volume”.
