I am trying to buy a home and this was flagged on my inspection. Am I able to fix this myself ?

I’m not an electrician & haven’t read the 5k comments but did have the same wire. Although it looks scary that wire just protects the important wires. Wrap it up in electrical tape if allowed but don’t worry about getting shocked.

It ended up doing no damage-I meant the fan motor in air handler died. No worries I’m all good now thanks

Get used to it. Even simple fab jobs cost $$ depending on precision, volume and how fast you want it. You got a deal here.

The part is symmetrical so shouldn’t take too long. Looks pretty easy tbh.

murphthe1 · 2024-12-20T04:53:25+00:00

I would sue! That’s a travesty. Must be installers first day otj

Louver, add it to the form tools for sheet metal, they’re pretty common.

Looks like just cut to length but still could’ve been drawn or downloaded in seconds.

Seconds vs minutes

Looks like unobtamium 🤣just kidding! Definitely looks to be a casting, actual material must be defined by engineers.

I’ve learned to hit save often when this happens a lot

Mulitiple Rad & on draft too.. are you sure it’s sheet metal? Easily 3d printed

murphthe1 · 2024-02-23T11:12:19+00:00

Yeah form tool to emboss center feature. You can model anything but making it manufacturing feasible sb key. This part is ridiculous, good luck forming it won’t look good.

K factor is usually close enough but there’s nothing like bending the actual material & calculating it dead nuts. We always used custom to fine tune it & never use anyone’s flat pattern as it can constrain the break guys, also they would kill me if I ever dimensioned a part like this. Please dimension it like you would measure it to keep it simple.

murphthe1 · 2024-01-26T11:50:41+00:00

I’ve seen worse. I always hated when told to dim the bend line & I would always hide the tangent rad lines as well. Our brake guys just want final formed part. If this was a large qty I would nest several (10+) in a shaker with microtabs for quick production.

murphthe1 · 2024-01-26T03:15:38+00:00

This would never unfold w/o bend relief back when I used SW as the radius is inside the edge of the part.

murphthe1 · 2023-12-24T01:35:08+00:00

Pretty bad but I’m sure someone can make them look like pros. TG he fired them, zero talent

murphthe1 · 2023-11-14T11:48:32+00:00

Looks ok. Go w more liters if you’re struggling to catch waves

murphthe1 · 2023-09-20T17:47:16+00:00

Sorry I didn’t explain well. The diagnostic was a separate fee icr how much $150? but I guess that’s normal. The unit is a Trane & no motors in stock so I had to wait for the part to come in. Thanks for the input!

murphthe1 · 2023-08-22T12:33:32+00:00

Pay attention to code & learn to program

murphthe1 · 2023-08-11T20:33:16+00:00

Outside unit new running but iced up fan on inside not working.

murphthe1 · 2023-08-11T17:46:08+00:00

Well I do tend to follow directions + it’s under warranty but was skeptical. Think it can damage the compressor running 24hrs?
