I was assumed it was glued in but if it’s just screwed I can give that a try.

I also thought about carving out a small piece with a tiny channel routed in it for the wire strap to make the wood block go straight across.  Alternatively, I could bush out the servo so it hits the plastic instead and misses the wood entirely.

The thing that confused me is that the picture of the kistka in the page on egg-bot shows the lift arm precariously close to the edge of the wood block. Mine does seem to be warped out a tiny bit (probably through usage.

I’ll give it a try.

At least I have some outside reassurance I’m not doing something wrong.

Thanks Windell, I noticed that you really stay on top of the questions on the forum. Not even Apple does that. I see postings from dozens of users on the Apple forum with nary a comment from any Apple Reps.

Good Question Windell. Its a few years old, white with original egg bot on side came with plastic knobs and sandpaper egg holder that I upgraded to brass and clear plastic things.

There are two pictures of the new kistka holder / lift arm and the location of the lift arm servo that I can’t tell if it should be hitting the plastic base of the lift arm or the wood step next to it. It rides precariously on the edge sometimes.

The pen arm that it replaced was flat and uniform throughout.

It looks just like the partially obscured situation in the kistka instruction on the web site but I can’t see how it’s resolved.

You can see the situation in the picture of the new kistka holder and the picture of the old and new lift arms side by side at this drop box folder

your help appreciated!

Thanks for the quick advice. I’ll give it a try on Easter with the nieces and nephews. I can convince them that they really look like that if it doesn’t work well ;-)

I was pretty pleased with my self that I’ve been reading most of the documentation but clearly I need to spend more time with the many extensions! Going to order other parts now, I’ll be ready for next year!
