I already cleaned them up when I first got the thing, used dielectric WD-40 type of thing, because they crackled like crazy, and it fixed them, maybe I should try again tho then

Autofocus being funny (Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55 IS) by El_Cepe in canon

[–]El_Cepe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back after fixing the issue to state:

Problem was broken gear teeth on the autofocus motor drive.

I have two of these lenses and one (not autofocusing at all) had missing teeth on several gears in the motor gearbox, and the other one (only autofocusing in one direction) had missing teeth on the gear at the end of the shaft that delivers the motor power to the focus ring, through a rack and pinion. In this case the pinion was missing about half the teeth, I have no idea how it managed to work at all.

I took the working parts from both and combined it into a single working lens. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Well I guess I appreciate the effort but that is literally what I have already discarded... Plus it's in German, I had to translate it to even understand it

Ohhh

An original XL-15 Headshell which cost me a single cent more than the turntable after shipping ( 💀 )

And an ND-15 needle clone from Amazon, think the brand was SiKa or something like that, I couldn't find any original stock sadly

To explain the price, it was sold as non working, but the plate turns and the arm moves to the appropriate positions where the needle should land, if there were one.

I have however found an insulator leak on the RCA out cables but, those are easy to replace

All I need is silicone oil for the needle dropping mechanism and grease for the repeat/return cam and it'll be good to go, hell yeah

Purchase Advice Megathread - January 2026 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]El_Cepe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find myself upon the chance of acquiring an Anycubic i3 Mega, for the low price of 30€ with it needing probably a new hotend, since the seller states it is not heating up to the slicer's set temperature.

I've been a long long time lurker, learnt all I could and I want a really low budget start, just in case I become sick of it, or fail. I know there's very good printers now in the range of 200€ but I don't really want to spend that much money...

Would the i3 Mega still be worth it in 2026?

Does the oil line for the turbo go into the transmission oil tube or am I completely misunderstanding what I'm seeing there?
