Thanks for the feedback. When I get another fob to work on I plan to reshoot a video. This video is about 3 years old and one of my earliest ones. I'm surprised it still gets views. The production value has gone up since then...lol

Interesting, how long did the original hot end last? So far so good on mine. I print something almost everyday and want to have a replacement on hand.
@MindmeldTech12 сағат бұрын
The first one lasted a few months, but that was before I started using the printer in my print farm. I was going through about 1 a month since putting it in the farm. But the all metal hot end has been doing well so far if you are able to find one

I might down the line give the glass bed another go. I have learned some things since then. But I don't regret moving to spring steel for the bed. It has been a life saver.

Great video. I just replaced my 2016 Chevy Sonic fob using a $10 version on Amazon. Chevy dealer wanted $340 for a new key! I also found the following: 1) the battery contacts on the replacement fob kept falling out during the fiddly assembly, so I used a dot of superglue to hold it. The original circuit board was also loose in the new fob (as shown in this video) so a dot of superglue here would also really help you. 2) On my spring, you had to wind up the key by turning the top case CLOCKWISE one full turn. Look at how your spring is coiled, and turn it the direction to wind it up.
@scottney513Ай бұрын
A helpful video for anyone trying to move the circuit board and cut key blade to a new fob housing. After going through this process I realized the original manufacturers did not want you to be able to pop open the original fob and remove the electronics and key blade. They want you to replace at the dealership for $350. (Canadian) Getting the original fob to separate takes some persistence and brute force. I started to pry the halves apart with a screwdriver but it took 2 needle nose pliers to finish the job; being careful not to damage the circuit board. Finally, if you're struggling to tension the spring, use a couple small pieces of tape to secure the key blade to the bottom half of the fob while you're winding CCW. (7:00 minutes into video) Then pull the tape off just before you snap the 2 halves together.
@scottgoddard7794Ай бұрын
I have been using these for a few months and they seem great (for the price). They often don't keep 100% of the vacuum and the bag expands very slightly, but still keep the filament dry. Just a quick note - putting your Silica in the centre of the drum isolates it from the filament somewhat, when the vacuum pulls the bag in tight. It's better to have it in the filament part of the drum.
@MindmeldTechАй бұрын
Good to know, I will have to change that up. The only reason I put it in the center was that is how the rolls come from the manufacturer. Kinda odd now that I think of it.

Check to make sure you have the correct replacement fob. Does the replacement fob close with the key in it? Might not have the spring in correctly.

As for Chitubox, yea you have to get the beta but where did you get 2.x? My thumb drive had 1.5 and does not look the same. EDIT: OK, 2.x was for basic, 1.5 is for pro. Just confusing.

How do you add an external spool if you already have the AMS Lite connected? Do I need to remove ALL the other tubes or is one enough?
@MindmeldTech2 ай бұрын
I haven't tried that yet, but I would think one hose is enough. After you hook up the external spool go under filament, then at the top of the touch screen select external spool. Then start the process of loading the spool.
@livingdeadbtu2 ай бұрын
Well, that was interesting... same issue. Factory keyfob appears to be ultra-sonically welded or something. What a bear!!! I tried your method and succeeded in breaking the key end off, but NO access! Would not budge! I ended up using small side cutter nippers and slicing along the seam in the hopes I could get a screwdriver in there.... nope. So I ended up nipping very carefully from the key end, very top down, then broke off small pieces so I could see the board and not damage it. Once I had the bulged part off, I worked my way down each side of the battery compartment, breaking off pieces with the nippers and needle nose pliers as I went. Once I got most of the battery ring broken, I could slip the board out. 20 minutes. Don't forget to preload the spring so the key flips out properly and fast enough. EDIT: the screw behind the chevy logo probably is there. The new one has a screw in about the same place. Didn't see it and could not find the piece after I was done to check
@MindmeldTech2 ай бұрын
Yeh, mine sucked to take apart. There have been several people that have brought up a screw behind the Chevy logo. I did a follow up video(short) with my back up fob and it had no screw in it. So I'm not sure if that was something they added to later fobs of just removed to discourage people from fixing their own fobs. kzfaq.infoAKg9i6DeEFU
