Making a spare parts order

Taking Care of the Bullet
1

I use my bullet to supply my coffee trailer and had a bit of a downtime scare yesterday. Shipping from Aillio to Canada is expensive and takes a while, so I’m going to order a bunch of parts to minimize the risk of downtime. Would love to have your input on whether I’m paying for things that will never fail.

Also, if you’ve had failures or lost parts not listed here, what are they?

Wear items
* Exhaust fan motor
* Exhaust fan rotor
* IBTS fan
* 2x chaff basket filter w gasket
* Drive belt
* Bean probe (NTC)
* Drum motor

Cheap insurance and things I happen to need

Item Comment
Control (display) PCB Do these actually fail?
Main cable Seems like it would be hell to fix if damaged during cleaning.
Cooling tray cable Seems delicate and exposed
air transfer tube insulation My machine is getting old and they all fell off the tube
Bean tryer The stud fell out of mine.

Won’t bother with these; I can source them locally
* Drum bearings
* Induction fan
* Cooling tray fan

Howdy:

First, Making this list is brilliant. I will steal it from you, hope that’s OK.

The only thing I can think of is maybe the infrared sensor?

Another thing to consider (which I am doing) would be saving up for another machine so that you can have a back-up as well as to encourage longevity in both machine’s lives.

In addition, the R2 Pro reportedly roasts much more than the R1, so I’m planning to upgrade down the road for increased efficiency.
