CALLING ALL McGYVER'S

Re: CALLING ALL McGYVER'S

I just went to a follow up on a noise on a Xerox. Needed greese, found none in my truck. Used some lidocane cream out of my first aid kit and mixed it with some Marvel Mystery oil. So far it is holding up.

And, it probably felt no pain.

Customer looked at me kind of funny when I broke out the first aid kit, but then I reminded them that I am the copier doctor.

Also, I want to give credit to Exok for giving me the solution. I added to his rep. Helping me fix it made for a great Friday. That' what I love about this site.

Today's challenge was a Kyocera FalconII (KM-3035) in which the separation roller was flopping around and giving me J11's. As you can see the post is missing ... or was missing:

Panasonic DP-8035, and the older DP-3530. Almost every 1st print to come out of these machines had fuser junk on it. The toner would break off of the fuser web and transfer from the hot roller to the pressure roller, then to the first sheet of paper.

To fix this, we took a savin metal cleaning roller and mounted it to clean the pressure roller in the Panasonic.

This thread isn't getting enough love. Here are two of mine (when I remember to record them):




Yup, rubber bands.

I had a Mx-3100 that the ptc kept giving me issues so I kracked open the unit and started digging around. Did you know if you use a metal screw for conductivity instead of a nicely folder piece of paper they work so much gooder.

I don't get it - maybe because I'm not familiar with that model...?

Maybe missing a ground?

Re: CALLING ALL McGYVER'S

well i have a tendency for cable ties and screws until i can get the part in. I carry a small drill to pop holes in frames ( metal or plastic ) to fix screws or ties to keep shit in place.

there is a product out there ..2 stage powder / glue to refix ABS and other tough plastics.. you can even tap or file the shape needed ( teeth of a gear..or tab of plastic.

but mainly i keep track of parts that fail... rob good ones of dead assemblies... screws ...sm plates.. gears..switches.

Yeah, that was some pretty ugly sarcasm on my part, apologies. I had a ptc that someone folded up a piece of paper and jammed it inside the unit to hold it in place. *facedesk*

It's this thread still a thing?

This ziptied beauty kept the machine working for a week until I got the chance to go back...
