    LDO50 Web

    Which one of you guys pissed off the Ricoh engineers to make them design something like this. I've replaced a few webs on these things and it never seems to get any easier. Loved the LDO60 and LDO90 webs.. this one isn't very much fun.

    Haha! It sure seems like they were in a hurry on the design on this one. No fun at all!

    The Alex web is f**cking horrible. The entire machine is a steaming pile of turkey vomit, in my humble opinion. Even worse, they're bringing another one out! Bastard spawn mk. 2!
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

    Since the new toner has been getting out there I have been having them go longer before needing the pcdu rebuilt. The web could have been made easier to replace but it's nice that it has a web the fuser goes forever. Just replace the whole web unit.

    Tell my boss to spend the extra bucks for the whole unit.... I don't think he'd go for it

    Tell him to look at the prices the unit isn't that much. Also you will need one anyway when you can't get that grub screw out of the gear on the end of the web

    Our shop bought one fuser and one web unit. We just rebuild them after we use them and put'em back on the self.

    As for the allen screw that strips - We found a source were we could purchase the screws from a few cents a piece. Only problem was that we had buy like a 500 of them. So, for around $25, we have a ton of these screws which were actually pretty hard to find since there so small. As for getting them out, we use a small screw extractor. Works great! In the beginning, we had the screw strip out every other time. Now, we just put a new one in each time. And since we have so many screws laying around in a tray, it's not a big deal. Plus we all carry a few in our spare screw boxes.

    I've never had any problem undoing the web gear screw - you just need an allen key of the correct size!
