Cleaned up the internals of my V1

Post by McSlappy »

I wanted to do this when I built my machine, but got distracted printing for some reason....

Anyway a faulty switch (or worn out more likely) caused my PSU to blow up so I took it as a chance to replace it and heated the interior while I was at it.

Here's the results.

I used mainly 6mm black pet braid as well as some 8mm black/grey braid at the top.
I split the ribbon cables and shortened them as well. That was the scariest part :o
Took way too long since it was during this process I figured out the switch was faulty. Got a nice new round switch like the v2's have.
I think it improved the heating efficiency of the bed probably due to shortening the heater wires. That or the fancy PSU I got somehow helps. I'd like to think the PSU is the reason, helps me sleep at night.
I loved my Rostock so much I now sell them in Oz :)
