How To Fix Cracked And Broken Plastic Box Lids

Most storage box plastic doesn't recycle and becomes brittle over time. These box usually break when taking the lids on and off and my wife had two boxes which suffered such breakages. Rather than throw them out, and them end up in landfill, I decided I'd fixed1t applying a think layer of Flexible Hot Glue from a hot glue gun, but hot glue by its nature leaves and ugly mess. Here is how to make it look better whilst at the same time strengthening the bond and fix. Here is how I do it. Malcolm aka  @FIXED1T ​

Dancing Cubee Robot After #fixed1t Repair

I had somebody ask why I bothered to fix these £60 robots when they broke, they asked why I didn't just throw them away and get another.

To me its not about money, I can easily afford to buy new, its about not contributing to the rubbish mountains for broken electronic gadgets and toys, It's about fixing things so they can be passed on to new owners, who maybe couldn't afford the original full price, but can afford a second hand device, and imagining their joy when the open the boxes and find not a damaged seconded hand robot but one which is better than new. # Its also the joy of fixing that which is broken. My Cubee robot is Dancing and Singing as new after #fixed1t​ successfully replaced all four of his leg and hip servos damaged when he dived off my desk whilst I was using him as a bluetooth speaker to demonstrate my MadWaves MadPlayer. There is a link to the repair video series in the top right hand corner of the video.

If you have Tiktok You can find Cubee and many other of my dancing robots their, just search for #fixed1t​.

Unboxing CellMeter 8 Servo Testing Battery Discharge Checker

Unboxing and servo testing a CellMeter 8 Battery Voltage Capacity Checker, Balance Discharger/Servo Tester. This unit provides a quick way to test 5v servo's instead of setting up an Arduino or other micro processor, where a software or programming bug could give false results about Servo's. Its far better to know the servo is working before you start a project than to be writing and rewriting code or building new circuits believing your code is faulty when its a dead or damaged servo.

How To Tear Down An Anki Cozmo

#fixed1tROBOTtips A recently purchased Anki Cosmo turned out to have both a defective screen(just black pixelated with white dots) its full of stars and dying battery, so I plan to replace them both. I was hoping to repair the screen but given yet another stupid manufacturer Anki apparently paranoid about intellectual property had proprietary screens made by a manufacturer who no longer makes them, and Anki themselves went bust, it leaves owners in another stupid position. My view is if they have used standard screen hardware people would have been able to keep using them and get them fixed and companies wouldn't go bust due to increasing numbers of returns they can't fix and broken stock they can't recycle. This is part one of a three part video. Part One: Tearing Down An Anki Cozmo Please Subscribe #fixed1t youtube to be informed about the release of: Part 2: Identifying and replacing a Anki COZMO Battery Part 3: Re-assembling an Anki COZMO Re-assembly is not as simple as you may think which is why other videos say, now I'll put it back together and end.

Laptop Battery Case Best Opening Video And Re-Celling Video - Part 2

This video is about Laptop Battery Case Best Opening Video And Re-Celling Video - Part 2

This Video Is About How To Professionally Open An Old Apple Laptop Battery Case In A Few Minutes Without Destroying The Case, The Electronics Or The Batteries. How You Open The Case Affects Whether It Will Ever Work Again, Whether It Will Fit Back In The Laptop And Whether It Could Become A Hazard. The Gentler We Open It The Less Damage We Do To It.

This method works for all of the compact batteries I have re-celled for re-use but I've decided to share it after seeing more and more people recommending forcing the opening with sharp bladed knives, hammers, screw drivers and metal openers leaving some batteries just about usable and others in a complete mess. Also trying to force open anything with a screw driver or sharp knife risk serious if not permeant injury to your fingers, hands and eyes, and a potential catastrophic lithium fire with deadly flames and toxic fumes, so don't do it.

If your thinking of getting into re-celling you need a decent battery welder, I bought a new Chinese Battery Welder cheaply from eBay but it shut down my electronics in my 30Amp Workshop, every time I switched it one, but for as few pounds or dollars I replaced the transformer inside and it works brilliantly now on a kitchen table.
