Re: Time to admit to all your boo boos

In the middle of Barclays with my trusted worn out shoes, changing a toner for a HP 4350, a woman opens the door for me at the top of the stairs so i rush up so she doesnt have to wait... needless to say i had no grip on my shoes and fell up the stairs, the woman was in shock, me and my white shirt was covered in toner, to this day i still havent been able to remove both the toner from the shorts nor the shame on my face.


DON'T RUN WITH TONER

I realized I wasn't removing the Transfer Belt and the blotchy-void problem was my sweaty hand prints from fighting to get the PH unit out.

Been there done that. Last week. Damn......

Tech calls in with a weird copy quality problem he can't solve, I've never heard of it either. Check all my usual sources of manufacturers technical info and can't find anything relevant. Then turn to my usual savior, CopyTechNet, and there it is, exactly what I've been looking for!! Then check who posted these words of wisdom and....oh dear!!!....it was me!!!
Might be time to make some serious inquiries about booking a spot in a dementia ward.

At least you didn't look at the post and wonder if the guy knew what he was talking about.

My database often works that way. I'm stumped, so I start some fairly random text searches on the topic. To my surprise, there is the fix, and it was me. I think it was 1995 that I realized that I could forget far more than I'll ever remember. =^..^=

Re: Time to admit to all your boo boos

I was working in a bag factory on a poly polypropylene extruder, most of the work on them you do while the machine is live they cant switch off otherwise the contraction of the machine cooling down breaks the heating elements. There are different sections on the machine you can switch off to change the elements, but i switched of the wrong section and cut thru a 380 v loaded circuit. My hands was black my face was black the section of the machine was black and my vision gone for about half a Minute. The side cutters front was melted. what should of been a 30min fix turned in to hours.


In the same factory you would get bored working night shift so, making termite seems like a good idea. But were do you get all the rust you need. So i ringed up electrolysis bath out of a plastic tank and made a 420 DC power supply out of 8 5A, AC rectifiers so 40A in total on a 75A beaker. Work like a beast it would boil the salty water (10 liters) in a couple of minutes.
The next batch i started i stuck my hand in the tank, bieng DC all your mussels contract leaving you in a vegetative state lucky the earth leakage in my repair shop was working because it share the same circuit with the offices. As i sagged down my other hand touched the concrete and the earth leakage kick in and saved me. if that was a carpet i would have been screwed.

Re: Time to admit to all your boo boos

Ok oops that is a bad typo. termite that's the word. its a combination of metal powders with a lot of oxygen in the mix, if you add enough external energy the metals would burn ferociously.

So i needed a cup of rust, i first attempted scratching rust off of old things but that would have taken forever. I some places its not legal to make the stuff. So i would not recommend it.

Re: Time to admit to all your boo boos

Aaaaahhh, so the rust supplies the oxygen?

Errr..... what are you planning to do with that stuff Allan? Any bank vaults in mind?

I think you mean Thermite, a termite is a small insect, known locally as a white ant, that keeps trying to eat my house. Just as destructive but not as spectacular.
And if your after a good supply of rust try Ricoh MP C305 feed clutches, it seems to be factory installed.

Re: Time to admit to all your boo boos

For what it is worth, here's thermite being used in a productive endeavor:

So as a fellow former third shift employee, I imagine it would be a lot of fun to play around with. As long as nothing important got damaged, and it was a fast clean up afterward at least.

Re: Time to admit to all your boo boos

Back in the 70's I was trying to get a fuser to stop squeaking by spraying WD-40 on the bearings of an e-stat copier (mineral spirits and coated paper), unfortunately the quartz heat lamps came on and a huge fireball came from the machine and scortched the customer's office ceiling.
