Good read!

ive been thinking of throwing an air motor into one… dare I say electronic free C1D1 panda? already specing some out. plus then we could remove that lame lever switch mechanism and have fine grain control of rotational speed via a pressure reg
Already redesigned the Top and bottom of the panda to be more robust, just gotta print em.

Wondering if dropping an air powered panda in an ethos qualifies as the ultimate capna mod?

@cyclopath

The best guess I have is someone has put an extraction tank inside a thermo freezer, and told them it’s the “ethanol bath”.

Turns out it was an ethos…Is there actually anything useful they can do?

@grajmahal

Capna has discontinued the Ethos 4 as their ‘entry level’ unit, largely because it is too small to get cost-effective throughput out of. The Ethos 6 is now their smallest machine. If you’re doing craft-level, one-guy-lab and are happy processing 50 lbs a day, it might be a good fit for you, and the prices on used ones aren’t bad at all. Plan to have an extra freezer or two to ‘pre-chill’ your ethanol, or you’re finished when the solvent that you chilled overnight is used up.
