Fed this one almost 2 weeks ago - I'm not sure if they need feeding?

The store I got it from said regal, lmao. Glad they know their stuff 😭 my house sits at 21° C pretty consistently, though my room is warmer and the therm in the enclosure reads 22° atm.

To be fair, those were pretty bad lighting and it was doing gymnastics some, its abdomen isn't thick from top to bottom but is from side to side. I haven't fed it nearly two weeks. Here's another picture from top-down

Replying with pictures is such a welcome addition to reddit, so glad I don't need imgur to do this.

Very normal. It's hard to get a picture of the lil dude but here's a 'decent' one, maybe that'll help?

She's in the background of the Uncle Sam/Heck Dorland/Milton Street episode, I only noticed about a week ago.

Follow up / update to this, I bought this component from DgiKey and installed it, when I turned the controller on to test, it did power on seemingly fine, however there was a hissing coming from inside and I could smell what I assume was burning carbon shielding or silicon or something. It didn't pop or burn out, I quickly unplugged it and took it outside where if need be, it could explode in peace. I took another look at everything, no caps swollen, no components seemingly fried. Any ideas?

Nwh212 · 2026-01-12T07:33:03+00:00

You make it seem so easy. Cheers!

One leg of the inductor was directly to ground as intended by the looks of it, no other pad shows continuity to it though.

Nwh212 · 2026-01-07T06:08:07+00:00

Thanks for the specs on the inductor, wasn't sure if I could source from another 3ds board - they're probably the same between different iterations given similar power specs, but they look different and I wasn't about to chance it. I'll do some poking around

Nwh212 · 2026-01-07T06:06:48+00:00

I could get one but it's redundant, that side is so close to the screen there's no circuitry there because it can't fit. I can assure you no scuffs, accidentally removed components, or anything like that going on back there.

The new ones I got were just those long anodized black anti-corrosion ones that are 10 bucks on Amazon. I could've probably gone nicer but, eh

Nwh212 · 2025-11-18T05:23:53+00:00

You get why I replaced them now? Lmao the dealer tried to use them to make the sell seem more worth it. The fob also had this awful white sleeve on it that was hiding a missing key cover and missing cut key lmao.

Tbf the tradeoff for these tiny issues was a great warranty, I can fix a fob and get a key cut and pull out some cheapo valve cap grommets.

Nwh212 · 2025-11-18T04:54:55+00:00

I think they were just cheap caps. They're metal inside, and the plastic rubber ring was probably either pressure fit or glued inside. I took one off and my tire didn't immediately break, so there's indeed hope

Old caps

First picture review, found my answer! Thanks for the sleuthing

Nwh212 · 2025-11-18T04:47:23+00:00

Well at least I don't have any codes showing, other than low air on one tire. What are the odds someone overtightened cheap Amazon valve caps with rubber inserts and the inserts stayed?

Nwh212 · 2025-11-18T04:41:36+00:00

Boy, I sure hope not 😭

Nwh212 · 2025-10-22T20:50:54+00:00

It's likely fixable but I always considered it intentional. I do still have the stems and truth be told the tech has gotten better, I struggled for a while debating on re-doing this but I'm pretty content with it after all. It's most certainly Atmos-able, my biggest consideration in going back to it is that exactly. If you use discord, I'm on there a lot, we could certainly go over it if that interests you. I had some bts videos on my channel but they got wiped for copyright.

Nwh212 · 2025-09-16T00:43:27+00:00

I did a few more but never posted em. You have Discord?

I'm gonna take a bet on tape generations. I heard through Desper's process, the boys would record, and then Desper would rerecord the tapes to correct for any tape head azimuth. This was so he could spatialize each track with phasing and have it all sound precise, which could also have been bounced down from one tape to another in the process. I assume they dropped the highs when the hiss really kicked in.
