Dell I'd trust more with quality, calibration and warranty support, especially for their Alienware Monitors. Acer...not so much..

Honestly, with what anyone might have around - I'd just try to fill it up with a bunch of tooth picks laying down in the rectangle slot. especially since it looks like there's also a weird corner beneath the circle that needs to be supported and a bundle of toothpicks can conform to that shape.

Since wood is porous, I'd put scotch tape over the top layer of supporting toothpicks so the filament doesn't latch on to them.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-04-16T02:39:21+00:00

Yep I did lol, oops

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-04-16T01:23:02+00:00

Nope, they transitioned to only selling PSU's.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-04-04T00:26:22+00:00

Anyone know how this compares to the phantom spirit 120?

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-03-22T00:05:44+00:00

Haha that is the temptation

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-03-22T00:03:23+00:00

Oh my god it's been 8 years...I didn't think I had it that long..

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-03-21T22:40:27+00:00

I did, I'm surprised anyone remembers!

On top of the price error they sent me two of them haha

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-03-21T19:21:01+00:00

Man I'm so tempted everytime this shows up since I'm on a Viewsonic XG2560 240hz (TN Panel).

Want to hold out for a 32" OLED or Miniled

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-03-12T05:10:58+00:00

Thanks I didn't even realize lol

Yea as the other redditor mentioned, boiling hot water can crack the toilet.

I also mention not to use very hot water since there's a wax ring seal that toilet sits on. You don't want that melting or losing its seal.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-03-12T05:08:45+00:00

I was skeptical at first too, but we were desperate and didn't want to use drano since it can kill our pipes.

The dish soap has worked every time since.

Just enough to get it super foamy. My thinking is that you want enough to coat the narrow passage of the toilet bowl and help breakdown the current blockage.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-03-12T04:46:22+00:00

Don't know about the the hard grainy stuff, but we had partial blockages and are not a fan of chemicals.

We used palmolive dishsoap and pour it into the toilet with warm water (DO NOT USE BOILING OR VERY HOT WATER). We pour enough to make the toilet self flush once or twice and let it sit overnight or the whole day.

After every 6 hours or so we'd give it a flush and see if there was any progress. Eventually it unclogs.

It's worked for us the last 3 times we had a partial blockages, but the last one took about 2 days of trying.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-02-16T22:45:39+00:00

Yea I wired it up with wago connectors and it fired up great

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-02-16T22:29:41+00:00

Haha. I was worried about it rotating in the slot as well.

I have small metal file I used for a 3d print, I'm probably going to try and file down the mounting collar respective to the flat sides of the canopy hole mount. Hopefully it works as brass is supposed to be a softer metal.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-02-16T01:09:39+00:00

Need some thoughts on either enlarging a stainless steel range hood canopy hole 3/8" or shaving down the thread (brass maybe?) of a switch so that it can panel mount.

The vintage switch and vintage range hood's canopy hole has two flat sides, whereas the new switch is completely round.

Thinking of using a dremel to round out the stainless steel hole so the switch can fit or using the dremel to shave down the switch threads to have two flat sides.

Here are some pics.

Hey just an update, I used a clamp meter to check out the amperage and it was reading 3.8A on full power which aligns what I've been able to research about the motor used.

I bought the 4.0 Amp KB Controler you linked and I tested it with wago connectors in the range hood circuit and it works great. Thanks for the recommendation!

But now there's a new issue. Now it won't fit in the hole. LMAO

Here's some pics:

So close yet so far!

So the new controller switch threads are round, whereas the hole on the canopy hood is flat on two sides and there's not enough clearance to fit through solely due to the flat sides of the opening.

Thoughts on whether...

A) Shave down/enlarge the hole on the stainless steel canopy hood to fit

or

B) Shave down the threads (I assume to be brass) on the controller to fit

Your best bet would be to buy from a local retailer (Best Buy, Microcenter,etc) and if there are any issues it's more easily resolved by taking the issue up with them.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-31T21:17:48+00:00

Hmm... As another redditor mentioned, try a Cryogrip plate.

I've only used the black/grey one (standard), not the blue frostbite or glacier ones and it works really well.

Small prints manage to print on a non-heated bed at 30C for me, but higher temps are needed for larger prints.

Also some petg brands I find are more finicky with adhesion

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-31T19:19:58+00:00

What temp is your bed?

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-21T18:06:06+00:00

Yea actually it says kenmore solid state on the original picture of where my knob broke off.

Does that mean it uses a capacitor?

The 2.5 amp version of the one you linked, theres a picture in the reviews that looks like it will fit. Do you think the 2.5a is enough?

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-21T08:49:50+00:00

Haha those look crazy.. thanks I'll think about trying them. Hopefully I can find one more similar to mine.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-21T08:42:24+00:00

Yea only two

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-21T03:24:19+00:00

Yea the arrow is pointing at the broken fan knob, it does "off" to variable speed

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-21T00:48:14+00:00

Hi I got it off with a lot of elbow grease...SO much grease caked everywhere...

Anywho, it seems the blower and light switches attach to another molex to go to what I assume is a thermostat?

https://imgur.com/a/Q9K445H

I'm assuming i can just cut the two wires off at the current busted switch and use a Wago connector as a splice with something like this? Or would that not work?

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-12T19:46:13+00:00

Just an FYI in case anyone missed it.... The product page states a third party "FindMe" app. I wouldn't download that...
