Pup LumoJust published part 3 of the instructions for my home-built #milker.

Pup Shadow 🏡🔜Chicago@ChasteSubMuc I've been following your milker build since a friend of mine sent me part 1 a couple of months back, it's such a clever setup! If I didnt already have a SeriousKit I'd definetly be building one of these.
@PupShadowNH Thank you! Glad you like the setup. There's more to come, which would also work with your original SK.
I'd be super interested in comparing the original with my cheapo version.

@ChasteSubMuc I'd be curious too, my SK is from like 2015 or 2016ish and its a bit different than the current models. I bet yours feels closer to the new models than mine. How long can you run yours before you run out of lube?
@PupShadowNH My hope would be that the milker itself does not have too much of an influence on how it feels. But I'm really curious. I never experienced an original.
Lube depends a lot on how you dial it in. It ranges from a few minutes to an hour. Limiting factor is really the capacity of the coffee can.

@ChasteSubMuc some friends of mine have the current model SK, it feels a little different than the original SK even with the exact same receiver. I dont recall precisely how it felt different but I remember thinking "hey thats not quite the same as mine". Guess I'll just have to try it again and take better notes this time 😈.
Mine goes through about 1L every 10-15 mins once you get the lube feed dialed in but the milker can easily hold 11L of liquid, probably more. Its huge.
@PupShadowNH Wow, I would not have expected that the feel different.
That's the down side of my milker. The can has a capacity of ~0.5l. So you can't really have much lube going through. But I would assume most of the lube is sucked out anyways just before reaching the lower parts. But that was not a real issue so far for me. Certainly makes a difference though.
Now I'm even more curious to try the original 😈
@ChasteSubMuc I do like how compact yours is, mine is pretty big to store and transport. The new SK didnt really feel any better or worse than the original SK, just different enough to be noticable from what I recall. On the old SK the pulsator only connects to the "dry" side of the SPT, then the wet side connects directly to the milker tank.
Red=pulsator (different size hose fittings than the rest)
Clear=suction (wet side of SPT)
Blue=vacuum inlet
@PupShadowNH Oh interesting. Does the Pulsator connect differently on the new one? I thought it's always like you just described. And that's basically what mine does as well.
@ChasteSubMuc I just checked some photos and I was wrong about how the new style SK hooks up- the newer SK has two lines coming out of the pulsator going into some sort of breakout box, plus one coming right off the tank going into the box as well for the suction side. Same as yours and same as original just looks a bit different.
Clear= vac pump
Black= suction
Red= pulsation
(All hose fittings same size)
