chooksRCute Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hello All Needing a bit of help here. I have an old (7yr) Mk1 Cube & on this last dismantling deep clean have found the rubber cup covers to be totally disintegrated. I’ve contacted Omlet by email (I’m in France) but not getting any response regarding possible replacements. Could someone make a stencil of theirs that could be attached to an email? I have some thin rubber that I could use to cut replacements from, if only I had the pattern Cheers Victoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonFamily Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I have a Mk1 Cube but I have no idea what rubber cup covers do you mean ? can you help a little more ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooksRCute Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hi Harrison Family I’m meaning the folding rubber covers that sit under the metal L bracket, bottom left & right of the back panel. They divert the rain that runs down the roof sides & through the back panel. Stopping the water running into the egg box & droppings tray. See manual pic below, bracket cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Maybe that’s what I’m missing and that’s why my nest box gets so wet. I have a third hand Mk1 Cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooksRCute Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hi MulletHunter Yes yes they certainly keep the water out, as I can now testify 😪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonFamily Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 HI - just checked mine and they aren't there so I guess they disintegrated years ago - also explains why things get wet - sorry I couldn't help hopefully someone else can - apparently there is an active omlet facebook page that might be able to help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooksRCute Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 🤣 I think we’re all struggling with wet nest syndrome! If I get replacements I’ll post here to let everyone know 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooksRCute Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Good morning All Just giving an update on the Cube Mk1 Bracket cups pictured above. They are a stock item Uk Omlet, 61p each. So if your roof is trickling water down through the channels & collecting in the droppings tray & egg box & you don’t have these black rubber flanges, cupping the brackets on that bottom board, below the removable back, it may well be a good investment! I can testify to the effectiveness of these, having had a Cube from new & it only just starting to leak because mine had perished, after 7 years.
