You should preferably keep it from touching. The enamel by itself will wear exposing the copper and create a short to the enclosure. All will still be fine as long as nothing else in the enclosure touches it but not the safest way to run it. Most folks want to go the other way and add a spacer...
Here you go. Cut close to the board so the lead can be bent and re-soldered to the leg beside it if needed.
Also, put some tape on the exposes leg so it does touch the other leg.
Man, that was so long ago. I believe they worked fine but didn't feel as efficient as the single wind and the 9-11 loops seemed to be to also hit the efficiency target the best. The conclusion was to keep the original loop count but to narrow the diameter a couple of mils.
However, I never...
The pads I've posted are different depending on what the use is for. The latest pad is not really for direct contact with the cap but for the friction aspect. It is LOW-density and thinner than the HIGH-density heat shield one. It also has a self-adhesive side to stick to the underside of the...
I just posted in the PSM thread about an update on the new switch mechanism I announced here. So best I repeat the post.
So far it seems to be working great. There has been the odd one stick or fall out but is generally easy fixes. No reports of the silicone pad melting which was a concern but...
You can find the switch announcement here.

To get the same "feel" with the older mechanisms by cutting 12mm circle of a silicone oven glove and placing over the button.
So far it seems to...
This is actually an easy fix. There will be too much friction between the orange cushion and the glass tube. You need to fish it out with a long pin or something to get between the glass and cushion to flip it on its side, then pick it out. Now just use it like an eraser and smoothen off the...
I have had 2 other reports about this. After some digging, it seems that there is no melting happening, no visible or sticky substance. The conclusion seems that there is a little pull from the formulation of the silicone pad. This is a very small pull and only effecting ones that have a very...
Or just claim they never received it... :freak: Oh wait, that would be dishonest.
I think mb0101 has being given a vacation from these parts anyway now. He won't be missed. :p
As they say, what goes around... Karma is out there!
First off, thanks to the community for all the support and efforts in trying to keep members on the strait and narrow.
Unfortunately, some folks will just keep twisting things to suit there needs. Trying to justify their existence I guess..? Or maybe it helps them sleep at night. :shrug:
I can...
May as well talk to a tree. He doesn't get it.
I managed to get a hold of the new buyer off Reddit and let him know the situation and advised him the unit would have no after-sales support.
He's not a happy camper.
That is the amount you agreed to pay and you received the goods.
I don't see the problem? This is definitely an integrity issue. But not mine.
I really don't care what other money you spent.
What the hell kind of math is this?
I sell for $95 USD to you, you paid in full. You started complaining that CP screwed up and gave the key to the wrong house. I explained insurance would not help in my case and was willing to split any losses. Instead of making you wait as you were so sure it...
