    Servo whine ?

    i actually extend through and do not push them down. I solder to the outside of the wires. You may be able to make that out in the pic above.

    Servo whine ?

    Capacitor shorts between +5V and GND. Electrolytic Capacitor. I use a 10-25 volt rating. Be sure to install with correct polarity. I install it right at the RJ45 jack.

    Uses for an old tablet

    I mounted an old tablet by the back door to view my heatermeter graph and temps. Lazy at its best.

    Spring has sprung in Montana, so figured I'd do a pork butt on the Mini Gravity Feed. Using the 15CFM Adapt-a-Damper using fan only. Stock PIDs. So far, so good. bigbeggbbq.servebeer.com

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    Forgot about PETG. Sorry. It will still quiver under heat of a WSM 18" heat source if things go wrong. Great for cases that get a bit of Vitamin D abuse, and certainly has a much better heat tolerance than PLA. It will print better than ABS, and maybe under certain circumstances, it may be a...

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    I concur on Creality (Ender 3/5/C10S) products. Good stuff. A bit tough with ABS, but there are surfaces and settings to go to. I bought a $2,000 printer 7 years ago, and it comes no where near what new affordable printers can do. Go up a few responses and look at the black damper. That was...

    minimum servo opening while running.

    I hear of a few people melting their Adapt-a-Dampers. If you are printing your own, I would highly suggest printing with at least a 50% infill. I know it takes longer, but I have never had one melt or disform with those settings. Also, probably stating the obvious, but use ABS.

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    Printed some plastic Alum-a-Dampers. HAd to spend some time getting print settings right so things fit snug. Still need to incorporate an integrated keystone jack on the print, but I really like these inserts by L-Com. Pretty good price for a 25 pack. ONe deviation from the Adapt-a-Damper is...

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    Question. I can do a 3D printed (plastic) version of the alum-a-damper if there is enough interest. It would do away with the box the original Adapt-a-damper has. It would be a standalone without other options, but could be printed in less parts. I would do a integrated keystone insert instead...

    Had a couple days off, so figure I'd do an 8 lb. Pork Butt on the gravity feed. Stock pid settings, and fan only with the 15 CFM Adapt-a-Damper. B&B natural Oak briquettes, and Hickory wood chunks. A bit windy today, so we'll see how it goes. Temps usually run a few degrees high when windy...

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    It was not designed to be slightly open. Best procedure IMO is to start with lower uS setting at 1000 and upper uS setting at 2000 (the defaults). Follow these steps ... 1) Remove the top disc from the servo, along with the horn by removing the screw 2) In manual mode on the heatermeter, set...

    What are your settings? What are you using for a Damper?

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    Whipped up a design for an adapter to hook the Adapt-a-Damper up. Similar to the dimensions of the Guru adapter. Aluminum and plan on anodizing.

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    So, I plan on releasing all the design files for the Adapt-a-Damper, so members can re-design as needed. My question is, what formats would you like me to post? I have a pro license for Fusion360, so no worries on the recent restrictions on the free license.
