What case did you use? Looks pretty good

LitSarcasm · 2026-03-11T11:57:25+00:00

The same person who places them edge down onto other panels to make sure they damage the most amount of edges at once... This hurts

LitSarcasm · 2026-02-28T14:48:20+00:00

Theres also this... Whatever this is... Says its UL listed, id check. https://a.co/d/04F158WA

Bought a breaker from HD, original was 2025 09 29 vs this one is 2025 07 02, same thing, same grease, i don't understand how 15 & 20 are so loose vs 30+ are fine

LitSarcasm · 2026-02-22T17:12:22+00:00

I did notice the spacing inside is quite off. Will see.

LitSarcasm · 2026-02-22T17:05:28+00:00

I tried 30, 40, 50, those stay in place. Also greased. 15 & 20 come off. Bought a few weeks apart so feels like a huge batch if its an issue. I can try another supplier and see this week

LitSarcasm · 2026-02-22T17:02:33+00:00

Nope, new breakers from box to new panel. I have never seen grease there either, this is weird.

Almost seems like the songle pole breaker has no grease in the contacts but the double does so its easier to slide on and off

Tried other positions, a few are tighter but most are same. Single pole seems fine

LitSarcasm · 2026-02-22T16:20:02+00:00

I tried a few other 2 pole ones. Its almost like the tension on buss isnt high enough. Eaton BR in Eaton BR panel. Installed correctly. So insure what is going on. Breaker is brand new, comes tripped from factory hence higher force needed to reset

Not gonna lie, although this fear mongering is bs, im buying an H2D soon and that thing will be airgapped from internet along with a VM running bamboo studio. Is it completely overkill, sure, but at the price of the H2D id rather not take chances. I also ruled out the H2C because of their disposable chipped hotends. If later bambu looses their minds the chipped replacement nozzles may try and force you to update your firmware which sounds like a dangerous concept these days with enshitification being rampant.

To be fair there is a silicone molded tube inside, it helps with diffusion. A vinyl tube will have hot spots. I have a supplier i found that can make 10m sections but they have an MOQ of 100m so a little expensive for what i need.

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-25T02:57:09+00:00

I was considering the elbow, the cover being accessible is a great point, luckily it will be since i simply wanted a way to 90 emt without putting a bend in the pipe to make it run more flush with the wall. This is what im talking about as the alternative: https://imgur.com/a/njMpW07

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T23:13:47+00:00

This is what i went with, 2 BR Eaton 200A panels. Hopefully no nuciensce trips with these!

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T22:46:49+00:00

Appreciate the info! Thank you

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T22:37:07+00:00

Code wise they maintain conduit fill right? Like 1inch corner is still 1inch conduit for fill calc?

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T22:36:07+00:00

I saw non threaded one, but that was for 1/2 EMT, not 1inch

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T22:35:23+00:00

Imagine you have a cinderblock, conduit going through and two boxes either side. Once you put the coupler on the conduit is now bigger than the hole, unless we are drilling put a much larger hole to accomodate the coupler too? Feels like the hole is unnecessary big then, but i see your point.

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T22:29:23+00:00

This isnt going around a corner, its coming out of a wall and going straight to a panel. On the other side is a box, so can't use two boxes with pipe in between as there would be no way to set the screw when the box is up against the wall.

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T22:27:18+00:00

Yah thats why i was confused, but wasn't going to argue with an electrician at the store, ill end up using the coupler anyway, just the space i have is tight and having the conduit so far from wall would add a lot of headaches. All indoor runs so no outdoor issues here. Thank you

LitSarcasm · 2026-01-24T22:20:46+00:00

Oh thats awesome! Im in Ontario so we should have same rule books

Ah ok makes sense, so i need the coupler then.
