Let us know how it goes
Im trying to find a good thickener, would something like flour or surgar work?
Degradable material can create has it gets hot and breakfast downâŚmay cause the adhesive to turn to foam and fall apart. Glass micro beads will be more stable

I wonât be testing it but I imagine bicarbsoda might work instead of glass microbeads . I have used it for bodgy repairs on wood and plastic as a filler for superglue. It does make super glue set instantly so i would mix up some with epoxy and try it on something else first if you donât wanna buy glass microbeads. Do it for science !!!

Can I solder to a fuse? I have a 3p 30Q pack I want to add a fuse to with very limited space⌠thinking a 80A glass tube fuse and shrink wrapping it
Can someone check and see if alienpowersystems website is down? It appears to be broken for me.
Thanks.
All weird no pics

Mines even worse than that. Its just text and no formatting of any kind. But its good to know its not just my browser
anyone know what this slight ticking sound from my motor is?
Iâve gone maybe 5 mi total with these motors, did a 3 mi test ride today and then noticed this when I got home.

it also only makes that sound when the screws mounting it to the mount are fully tightened. when I spin the motor and itâs mounted loosely it doesnât make that sound. Wonder if it has anything to do with the screws that were loctited then removed multiple times

Are they maybe a bit too long?

actually I think it has something to do with them being seated fully flush against the mount. because I fastened the screws in tightly while just HOLDING the motors and spun them in my hand with the mounting screws in and it didnât make that sound!

It really depends on the fuse. Iâd say try it outside your enclosure, test it, and if it works then redo it for real.
I suggest using a nice powerful iron with a decently fat tip, set to a high temperature. You want to get lots of heat in there fast, solder, then get out just as fast.
Could be the circlip on the motor shaft slightly rubbing the inside of the motor mount.

I solder to automotive fuses all the time.

But a glass tube fuse already has solder in the end, I think. Iâm not sure those would work. Like @MysticalDork said, try it elsewhere first or on an extra one.
I donât know exactly whatâs wrong, but I would suspect the mount or motor plate is slightly bent. If it was my motor, I would try this, and I donât know if it would work.
Get some of the 0.2mm shim washers. Like a speed washer except 0.2mm thick instead of 1.0mm thick. Figure out which screw makes it do that. Tighten 3 and see if it doesnât do that. Figure out which one tight does that. Put a shim under it between the motor and plate.
