Had a good day making and fixing. My daughter brought her espresso machine over because it had stopped esspressing, after undoing about a million screws I finally found the four screws that you actually needed to undo to get to the guts and found a very obvious cause. The pressure relief pipe from the steamer had come undone, probably because it was clogged with gunk, and the steam and water had corroded the contacts on the pump. I was able to grind back the metal and plastic enough to give me a chance to solder on a lead and new spade terminal. Then I unclogged the steam pipe, and it's working perfectly. Kinda surprised how simple the workings of an espresso machine are TBH. Next, the 3D printer that I got for fiddy bucks on farcebook marketplace 1/2

I've had an iPhone since there were iPhones and TIL that you can roll back your contacts to an earlier version of your contacts if you keep them in the cloud.
This is very handy if you get a little overzealous with "remove duplicates" and somehow your sister (and her four phone numbers) is no longer in your address book. #IFixedIt

The regulator on my mig welder was leaking gas, and a soap bubble test showed it was from the gauge. I initially figured that it was going to be too hard to fix, and ordered a cheapo replacement on aliexpress.
Problem was that I didn't pay attention to the fittings and it came with a female connector when I needed male. Male-male converters don't seem to be a thing for mig gas fittings, so I decided to have a look at fixing the original one.
Pulling it apart revealed that there was a small crack in a soldered joint--it looked like it had probably been like that since it was new, which explains why I've been going through gas at such a rapid pace. So got the propane torch out and reflowed the solder and I'll be buggered, the leak is fixed. #IFixedIt #DIY
So does anyone need a mig (argon/CO2) regulator with a W21 female inlet? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007347321727.html Yours for the postage, or pickup in inner north #naarm. -

Achtung aufgepasst beim Entkalken von Nespresso Maschinen. Ich wollte es besonders gut machen und habe 3 Durchläufe zum Entkalken gemacht. Das hat die thermische Sicherung auf der Pumpe zerstört. Maschine kaputt.
Das Video https://youtu.be/kb1JZ-VIoY4?si=Db_JpTlMdZOJ4_xz hat mir gezeigt, was kaputt ist. Zum Flicken habe ich einen Ovalsteckschlüssel (€ 3) und eine neue thermische Sicherung (£ 1) gekauft + 2x internationales Porto. Jetzt läuft sie wieder. 2 kg E-Müll gespart. -

foot pedal of the second machine was not working250 k variable resistor resistor replaced (the black part).
Main problem 1:
How to open the case of that pedal
(brute, but careful, force)
✅️ solvedMain problem 2:
Not the sliding (special) potentiometer was broken, but another part. No idea, why. The 250 kOhm were.... gone...
Luckily, my parts' storage had exactly one exactly fitting spare part.
✅️ unsoldered, replaced, reassembled.
✅️ works -
Got an oil can off aliexpress today :pakidge: and just spent ten highly satisfying minutes going round oiling all the hinges on all the squeaky old doors in the house. If you want some "hey, I fixed that thing that has been annoying since forever" energy this cannot be beaten. Particularly in terms of difficulty vs result: the skills required are very low. I give it 5 stars.
Current status: opening and closing doors and marveling at the silence. #IFixedIt -
The new #repebble watches gave me the motivation which I needed to finally replace the battery on my #pebble time steel (again). But this time with a proper battery (3,8V / 400 mAh - HSABAT SP551923AE P140116 on Aliexpress). I've removed the connector from the original battery and soldered it onto the new one. It's very tight but it fits and it's working! Now I'm going to test it for a while before gluing the display back on the case.

At a town hall in Republican Rep. Rich McCormick's Georgia district, people were more than vocal about their displeasure with him and other Republicans proposing things like cuts to Medicaid, and not keeping President Trump in check. Their booing created a wonderful symphony of resistance. 💪
It's OK. You can laugh.

My little pride of the day, I bought a second-hand #PawPatrol control tower to my kids last year but it is missing the periscope at the top. For a reason unknown to me, they kept complaining about that, saying their friends' had one. So I modeled a "telescope" (since I don't own mirrors and a periscope shaped one would be less fun for them) and 3d printed it. It was a success and my kids are happy with it!

💪 I successfully fixed my ancient Kindle 3rd Generation from back in the days (2011) by following this tutorial https://youtu.be/SLBE4iU8GWA. Simply replaced the old battery with a new one (which cost around 14€ on eBay).
It feels quite ironic that Amazon, unintentionally, made a device that probably can last forever! 😂
Is this already #permacomputing ?
