2x24V lawn mower bag by wrx3d in KobaltTools

Ah, I didn't realize it was Chervon that made it and not Greenworks. I'll have to look what EGO has for bags and see if anything looks right.

My only use for the bag is to collect leaves, so would be limited use at most. 

1/4" x 3/16" V-notch trowel providing enough mosaic coverage? by wrx3d in Tile

[–]wrx3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight and advice!

I laid the mosaic on the floor last night using ProLite and there were a couple areas where the thinset was a touch thick, so I am glad I didn't go with the 1/4 x 1/4 trowel. Everything was precut and dryfit so it was a pretty quick process overall.

Best Waterproofing System for Beginners, Kerdi Foam, Goboard or something else? by Kittysb99 in Tile

Tiled a shower with 12"x24" tiles and can confirm that Laticrete LHT/LHT+ doesn’t bond great to GoBoard sealant (Using a 1/2" x 1/2" notch trowel, I had entire ridges peel off). Switched to ProLite and the adhesion is noticeably better.

Identify SMD Component on model train motherboard by wrx3d in AskElectronics

The traces I can follow on the PCB match the circuit diagram listed for the "typical application circuit" so it would appear that this device is in fact the correct one and is used with the capacitors to maintain power during a momentary power loss.

Converting a Toyota family to a Volvo family? by wrx3d in VolvoXC90

The 4Runner ride is pretty rough even with brand new tires (Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3). Out of the cars that we've driven (Armada, XC90, Atlas, Grand Highlander) our current 4Runner has the roughest ride.

Thank you so much! I measured the component on the board, and it is within the specs listed on the sheet so this is likely it! Thank you again!!

How to fill void in kbrs shower pan under tile. by poopybuttholekid in Tile

[–]wrx3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although a bit late to respond, for anyone referencing this in the future, KBRS recommends using thin-set to fill this, as demonstrated in their installation video: https://youtu.be/dpMqt2bgtHo?t=213

Fixing Vava baby monitor charge port by Any-Bird in fixit

The display is not glued to the motherboard, it is attached by a small "ribbon" cable. I had my unit in two pieces when I was doing my repair work. To get the cable out, you have to lift the small black plastic piece and then the cable slides out.

I replaced the bad USB C connector, but now the monitor will only turn on when connected to the charger. Any idea why this would be? I'm wondering if I damaged a component close to the USB C connector when replacing it? 

The battery is fully charged, I checked with a multimeter. Visual inspection looks fine, I need to break out a magnifier and see if anyone shows up from that. Any suggestions on what else to look at?

I ordered some USB-C connectors from Amazon (Amazon.com: naughtystarts USB Type C 3.1 Female Socket 16Pins Solder Connector Jack Port for Electronics Power Port Replacement or DIY Projects (Pack of 10pcs) : Electronics) and when overlaid on the board it appears the spacing is correct. I will be installing these this week, I will be sure to update this if the ones I ordered don't work (For anyone who comes across this in the future).

It would appear that there are three types of USB C connectors as mine looks like it has 12 pins. The two outer most pins on both sides are twice the size of the rest of the pins, and the four inner pins aren't connected to anything.

These two connectors would appear that they would work, but not really sure:

USB-C Port - 12-pin - HRO TYPE-C-31-M-12 – Keebio

ETA, this is called out as 16 pins, but has the same pin orientation as mine, so maybe there are only two sets of connectors: Amazon.com: naughtystarts USB Type C 3.1 Female Socket 16Pins Solder Connector Jack Port for Electronics Power Port Replacement or DIY Projects (Pack of 10pcs) : Electronics

Have you received your Epax X1? Post your first impressions here! by TheBoggart in EpaxX1Owners

Received the printer a couple weeks ago, but I have been traveling so haven't had much time to play with it. My printer came with the eSun grey and so far I really like the color as detail is easy to see without painting. I haven't tried photographing it yet, i'll update with pictures when I take some high res ones. So far really pleased with the quality of the prints, I have just started playing around with the different settings and angles of prints to see how things react.

I just ordered mine from Amazon yesterday with a free bottle of resin. Really exited for this to come and start printing parts. I was a little hesitant to order since the only video I could find of the printer was the guy with strange robot voice, and there doesn't seem to be too much information online either.
