please don't get too exited..... yet. I actually got a little sad when I read that announcement. because I have seen it happened before, when policies of new owners are " quantity over quality " and everything that goes with it.... let's just hope not though.....:leaf:

I think it's the thermal fuse.

too bad that 's the only thing missing.... everything else can be repaired or bought.

any news on aftermarket housings for the mighty/crafty?

no, the temp sensor is a small black pin at the end of a cable, touching the battery. the thermal fuse is a shiny metal round cylinder connected to the main board. (check the photos a few pages back.)

what about draw resistance?

I have found that cu reclaims are not as potent...… not saying it's not worth it though.... :leaf:

that gray cable is the heaters temp sensor. yes, this cable could trigger a fault in the crafty. (if a lot of the actual wires inside are broken) just connect everything don't close it yet, and start it too check if the overheating sensors are the culprit, and squeeze that cable with your...

it looks ok. but could you put the sensor away from the heater on the other side? just in case.... also, it is possible your battery has a lower amp rating than the stock battery, and heats up quicker/more. I too changed my batteries today on my mighty. Sony Konion US18650VTC6, 3120mAh, 30A max...

I'm really interested in this too..... AFAIK they don't replace housings. if warranty exists, you get a new unit. ….if not...….. :rant:

there is one in the crafty thread (and a mod for replaceable batteries), also a post with pics a few pages back.

…..or you change them yourself for around 10.... (basic soldering skills needed)

ordered some 18650 Sony Konion VTC6 3120mah to replace the stock batteries. are they good enough? or should I get better ones ?

how are the new batteries so far ? do they last any longer ,compared to the old ones when they were new ?

any plans for the housing?? replacement or just some add on to reinforce the housing?

you can't ! you need to have warranty. @Ratchett @JCat ...then just a mod that keeps both parts (cu+heater) together will also do...!!

if anyone creates 3d printed housings,..... count me in for a couple. that's even worse than I thought it would be ...… no spare housing at all after warranty ?? WTF S&B !!! at least sell the parts that will break/wear-out.:shrug: if anyone is creating (3D printing) housings …. count me...

… and sell some spare parts. just the parts ,without sending it in. to change the housing (if you have it) takes 3 minutes the most..... (and you don't need to have any electronics skills). btw. 2 years ago some said there would be aftermarket parts for it (when the warranty is over) like...

Yea, this Rocket will get you very high......! :evil:

glad to see you finally did it. everyone should do this ,ones they opened their units. about the broken fins.... they will brake by themselves at some point in time due to the heat. (my old one did this) even the plastic around the oven which holds the cooling unit in place will chip/break...
