That's super idea. Nice!

Thanks, man! For the money, it's a fun mod

Any concerns that the Lunar might end up sitting in water for an extended period of time?

If you look at the pictures (below) you can see that there is a small "hump" on the BDB. The Lunar is not hitting the water. I did add some electrical tape over the charging port just in case, but the scale is waterproof regardless.

Was there any difficulty with the Breville's moulded drip tray (ie under the metal grille)? If you're able to do a step by step guide or set of instructions for the mod that would be awesome... but if it's as simple as:

1. cut correct size hole in drip tray
2. Insert scale housing

Then that's all I need to know

I can write up something if you are interested.

That would be great if you have time - thanks very much!

Sure. Do you have the exact same scale? If so I can make it customized to the Acaia Lunar like mine.

I have the brewista, which I think would also fit nicely on the tray, but if you could show me for your Acaia I'm sure I can make it work!
Thanks,
Henry

Do me a favor and send me a photo of the brewista on the drip tray and I can help you out
