HorreC

I read about the motor, I just wonder if the feed was doing something weird or there was a LOT of moisture in that roll (and I dont know if I ever saw it that bad. And I live in a place that seems to be soup in the summer time). It was just obvious popping, being that it was a new roll I still wonder wtf was going on that allowed the plastic to pop like that.

You seem to have some really moist filament, or are all those popped areas from something else?

how weird, why set the extra bit of copper on the backplate? you already have a physical pressure point with that screw there? Having it on the backplate doesn’t add any safety to the overall product, it does add a weird wear point if you have a lot of movement in the plastic from temp or maybe a door hits it or something.

Im not even looking there, look at the two prongs, one is hot, the other is going down towards the neutral rail (which its not connected to at all), then you have a LED that is connected to the hot then a resistor on the other leg that is solder to the neutral copper coming down. Still not connecting it to the neutral rail at all, they are just near each other, unless that plastic is conductive?

I did see the cap on both at the start, and yeah I assume that box is just a SPST.

Am I losing it here, the neutral isnt tied to shit. I see where they bring it down, they tie it to the hot with that LED, the bar is right there, but there is no connection. Are they relying on just the ground to do that work here?? I dont know EU standards at all, just flummoxed as to why even run a neutral bar if you are not attaching to it.

Was he not already heading up a dev team for a new project he was talking about like last year (didnt read it might mention in the article)
