Jer 🚵🏼<p>But the worst thing about this switch is what we've already discovered: it fails ON. Not something you want in an oven design, even for something low key like a warming burner.</p><p> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homerepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homerepair</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/mechanicaldesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mechanicaldesign</span></a></p>
Jer 🚵🏼<p>Kid and I cracked open the back of oven to see what's up with the switch and found this. One of the two metal fingers, normally bent to hold everything together, had straightened out. Bend it back, start putting things back together and it did it again.<br>I really don’t like the design of this switch. The contacts are normally closed (ON), so to turn it OFF the dial is turned such that a plastic wedge pushes the contacts apart. That spring pressure is always trying to push the switch assembly apart. As opposed to using a switch that is normally off and the pressure of closing it only happens a few times a year. <br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homerepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homerepair</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/mechanicaldesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mechanicaldesign</span></a></p>

Mr B<p>I'm looking at <a href="https://reprap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Rigidity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this old page on the RepRap wiki from 2017 about printer frame rigidity</a>. With software resonance compensation now in both Klipper and Marlin, does frame rigidity matter as much any more? Lots of bed slinger frames don't seem to be especially rigid, but with modern software get pushed to rather high speeds. When looking at <a href="https://github.com/MSzturc/the100" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The 100, a design ranking highly for speed benchies</a> and having the frame based around four linear rods seems to contradict the advice in that page. So, I wanted to ask the wider Fediverse if I'm missing something in all of this.</p><p><a href="https://urusai.social/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/MechanicalDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MechanicalDesign</span></a></p>
