    Reminder to microchip your pets...

    I can't look at a dog, any dog and not have a smile come to my face. I just love dogs. We lost our last rescue about a year ago and I miss the little guy. My wife home cooks for them.

    Fuse replacement -- CX-706

    These boards are not isolated from mains, so there is no low voltage side to speak of, even the speed control pot has 200V common mode WRT earth. I purchased the brushless motor and matching control board used from a forum member after he upgraded (to a servo I think). The new control board...

    CA-AB Hobby plastic drawer storage units

    I have a large bag (perhaps 30?) of various iterations of these little organizers (small, medium and large). If anyone wants them they are free for the taking. I'm in Ottawa.

    Fuse replacement -- CX-706

    I think the following answers all your questions. Weiss makes machine equipment. Assuming your CX706 is the same as mine........ Note the motor current rating 8.3A, 750W/90V = 8.3A imagine that. However that ignores efficiency and I also question the 1HP rating. So the 10A fuse makes sense, if...

    The original motor in my CX706 was a 750 W brushed DC motor powered by KBIC type motor controller. I replaced the original motor with a brushless style.

    I would be soooo pissed. Bambu was at the top of my list if/when I upgrade, need to seriously reconsider now.

    Fuse replacement -- CX-706

    This is the original panel from my CX706, 10A fuse. I changed the motor and needed to change that panel to accommodate an E-stop, so I made a new panel.

    $50 2hp VFD - Whitby, On

    It's simple to make a voltage doubler with just a couple of diode and capacitor so 120 to 240V is cheap and dirty. Not quite so simple for 240 to 575V, so now you need an actual high power DC-DC converter and that is not so cheap or simple. If you really need 600V fair number of surplus...

    CA-AB Hobby plastic drawer storage units

    The rotating cube would actually be very easy to replicate for any of us. Heavy base with bearing, single long threaded rod in the middle, each tier just has a thin piece of sheet with a hole in the middle and little 1/4 " flaps that stop the bin enclosures from working their way out, nut on...

    Aluminum wire going to make a comeback?

    This is an interesting comment, I recall hearing this many years ago. I'm pretty sure aluminum wire is used for the majority of service feeds from the utility to the main panel in our homes. I'm also guessing that these connections are rarely if ever inspected for tightness. Best guess is that...
