I would use a 10-32 thread size. I don’t normally recommend FUB over metric, but the standard for this is 10-32 and if you use the standard, your life will be easier.

Use metric for everything else.

Thanks man! Was m5 sized screws the right move or is there a typical size that most people use that I should have grabbed instead?

@kcheng5

is there a typical size that most people use that I should have grabbed instead?

Yes, 10-32 size. It’s FUB

FUB = freedom unit bullshit = not metric = Imperial = avoirdupois

Best way to remove a 3D servisas pulley from the wheel ?

How to remove/install a 3D Servisas kegel wheel pulley

To install the 3D Servisas kegel pulley: Put the pulley in the wheel Set the pulley on a hard surface Put a wood block on top of the wheel Hit the wood block hard {centered over the wheel hub} [20190415_185637] ​ To remove the 3D Servisas kegel pulley: Set the wheel like this with a bolt in one of the holes [20190415_185739] Hit the bolt hard a few times until it moves slightly.

I accidentally did exactly this trying to bend the center pin back after soldering (will def use @b264 advise next time). And yes, was also dumb enough to not unplug the chargeport before

Board rolls fine though, luckily. Now waiting for a new chargeport to try out, hopefully the board will still accept charge

[b264]

I think most folks who’ve worked on boards for enough time has done this or something like this.

Either that, or they read some advice here and took the advice. (fuse your charge port, never stick multimeter prongs in there, solder with plugs plugged together, etc)

Also fishpaper. Use it. Use a lot of. Any place where things can rub together. No, electrical tape is not fishpaper. Foam is not fishpaper. Wrap P-groups in fishpaper.

Carbon fiber. It’s a conductor. It conducts… It blocks radio waves…

yadda yadda yadda

That makes me feel slightly better, haha. This is my first build so I kinda expected some misstakes to be made, definitely learned alot from you guys though!
