    Can’t make this up

    Being of professional kitchens, electric anything is a big let down. I love that instant heat of gas, high btus and the consistency of the technology. None the less, this home has 220 piped to the range & kitchen. It’s unfortunate because we do have gas to the dryer, water heater & furnace, so...

    Can’t make this up

    Decided to do some kitchen cleaning before the big day & got behind the stove. Got it looking great, plugged 220 back in, pushed the unit back in and turned the kettle on … then BAM a nice flash & a whiff of magic smoke. Dead oven & range at 12 noon - the day before Thanksgiving with the whole...

    Leftover Extra Part

    I just pulled a couple imac tray loaders apart for a clean and new pram batteries and dont recall that part. I had a slot loadaer apart but that was eons ago. You'd think with those three screw holes and teh divets/holes on the ears, it would match up with something easy to spot. Digging into...

    Fixing cracked ABS plastic

    I was thinking about applying specifically the plastics interior side, not exterior - the non user facing bits as to maintain the exterior asthetic. Anyhow, spray the interior with something that destabilizes the surface but cures back a little better, a bit more robust - less prone to...

    Fixing cracked ABS plastic

    I always wondered if there was a product that could be sprayed to the interior of ABS plastic (others as well) that could help add strength. I am no chemist but envisioned some chemical blend that goes on via aerosol and you let cure on the underside of the plastic bits. What would that be? Like...

    Resource Categories

    Another thought is in an effort to farm out the nuts n bolts work of said resource lists so Kai and team arn't shouldering absolutely everything, resource lists could be opened up to users adding links to respective categories. This would not necessarily be curated through TD crew but would be...

    Not everyone thinks the same way. This opportunity should not be approached as a one solution fits everyone's cognitive process. Folks looking for help will be coming to TD from a multitude of different cognitive angles. Yes, I agree that oveclocking for example should be in the machines...

    Is the AMTECH 559 PLUNGER botched?

    Man you are dead on about the plunger feedback. It's irrelevant if the flux is good (or not). If the tool to use it sucks, what's the difference? Per your own experience, at this point, you are going back to your preferred flux (and plunger). I as a widget manufacturer sure would love to know...

    Sorbet Leopard

    I reached out to z970 and let him know about this thread so if there are any questions, he could address them directly. I think he would be a great fit here. Bruce, I made him aware of your offer of free beer. 🍻

    Is the AMTECH 559 PLUNGER botched?

    Did you send them your feedback/observation? Maybe they think they're crushing it and you have identified an area of improvement for their product design.
