@Spesh do you still have it and could I request it in Ireland? Not under super tight time pressure

Hi where is this thing at these days
Just collecting dust somewhere
Hi sorry I havenāt been online in ages, yes itās collecting dust in my workshop ATM. Happy to send it out if anyone needs it. I have email alerts on for PMs now so in case I miss something, send me a PM
Yeah no worries
Iām not able to run this anymore but if someone else wants to keep it going then go for it
I might be able to give it a go. Iām in Ireland where it currently is anyway. Unfortunately the locals have kwelds and something able to weld 0.5mm but I can figure out how to ship it around.
edit: unfortunately again I learned that they could weld 0.5 the minute I order 0.2.
edit2: pretty sure I meant 0.3
Whats the situation on this. Is it still going on? I would need a spot welder 
Iām getting it soon, then I can send it on to you if @mr.shiteside doesnt have someone else first.

Hi, any updates on the spot welder? I have all my material gathered and am ready to go.
Still with @CarelessAquarist , heās been having some trouble with it but I havenāt heard from him in a while
Sorry about that and to be transparent I had exams, the house being built and a little surprise puppy.
Iām also sorry I donāt quite have the electronics skills to trace out a schematic or find what was wrong with it. It was from @Halbj613 right? I was in contact with Flipsky and if we get an order number they can likely try inspect it at the factory. I packed it this morning for whatever it is I should do. To get my pack welded I will just have to ask the buddy with the kweld for some help.
If anyone here has some ideas for why it might not be working it would be greatly appreciated. I can trigger the weld and the screens shows that it tries to weld but it does not make a weld. I canāt find anything wrong with it and it happened spontaneously while welding, not after being dropped or electrodes touching etc. The wires, electrodes and spot welder had not even gotten warm.
I wouldnāt have a lot of hope that Flipsky will help, it was a used purchase already a couple of years ago and from what I can find they didnāt even help direct buyers. Could you send it back to me to try and diagnose it? It doesnāt seem like itās a very complicated schematic and I have some more gear here to test it

No worries
Right, Iāve found the problem but Iām away for the weekend so itāll be Monday before I get to it
Basically the output XT 90 had a fine-not-great solder joint, and the repeated thermal stress from the high current pulses borked it. The issue is itās thermally connected an enormous heatsink so itāll be a bit of a mission to fix. Iāll take a few days when I get back to do test runs on some other parts before tackling it
On the bright side though, Iām now far more familiar with this little bastard and Iāve verified most of everything else on the board is fine

Well done, Iām glad to hear it.
I can ship you a beefy soldering iron from Amazon if needed.
