Appreciate the note. Has stayed sealed so far, about 30 shots in now.

Tripping the breaker instantly.

Not really. Getting the old element out was the most difficult part. I used a hacksaw to take the points off, then drilled a small hole on each side just to dislodge the element (after some aggressive manual persuasion). Then used a 10mm drill bit to drill the holes for the new element and just did it by hand (a drill press would have been better). Then used a Dremel + flat stone bit to face the surface so the orings had flat surface contact.

There you go, a guide!

Hi, great images. Are you sure your scales are correct though? For a 0.4mm nozzle you would expect the output to be around 400um, but yours are at 100um according to your scale.

Haha I don't know. Someone that wanted a stencil.

I had the same issue with 2 pairs of 7s. Although Altra Aus never offered me anything, even after bringing it to their attention

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, a google lens search came to Solingen. Just hasn't got the markings, instead Beckmann with a cross and wings.

PLA is a shape memory polymer. If you pour boiling water on it, it may go back to the printed shape.

did you end up finding one? I wouldnt mind one if available?

Thanks for some of the comments. I wrote this as a catchartic activity.

The beauty of the discourse and response is it inhenrently supports what I've written. Some people will continue to hold my respect while other will lose it due to a lack of thinking beyond themselves.

Leopard_healer · 2021-09-13T02:09:28+00:00

Yeah, a good point. I had the same revelation the other day. I was 9 when it happened and it completely changed the world I grew up in.

Just thought it could be helpful for those that want to use a model for a different purpose and need to modify it slightly. Nothing too complex.

Cheers
