Rather than desoldering, couldn’t I just cut off the USB PCB and solder on a new one? I have bare USB connectors at work
Thank you @caustin. I just do what I think works best.
@jmasta I don’t see why that wouldn’t work, but for me un-soldering takes 30 seconds and glues right on the Mad Munkey USB shelf.
That’s helpful. I got my charging jack sorted out by soldering a pigtail to the battery +/- leads, but if I do another that’s good to know.

This is AWESOME!
Who’s got 2 thumbs and is finally pouring silicone tomorrow?? This guy. Sorry, been cranking on too many things at once and filming it all takes 10 times longer than just gettin 'er done.
's got tWow how does the print look so good?
SLA and a lot of finish work.
That is so sick! Well done!
I can’t wait to see the finished product!
@FLATLINEcustoms What type of platform adhesion do you recommend? Do you need to use a raft to support the overhangs if printed slowly? Thanks!
@jmasta What printer do you have? I don’t use any support or bed adhesion on my lulzbot mini but on our flashforge we use kapton tape and acetone slurry.
I like printing on glass with kapton tape using slurry as adhesion. I don’t ever use a raft, but always use support. If your printer is good with overhangs and you run it slow enough it may work. Let me know how it works out.

Give BuildTak a try, i bought a pack of 3 sheets about 2 months ago, never going back to painters tape or kapton. It takes a bit to get dialed in, but its just a thing of beauty!
We have an Ultimaker 2. Typically I just print on the bed with a thin coating of gluestick over the print area, but I do experience lifting occasionally. I’ll try out the slurry.
Are you guys using ABS filament or is PLA preferred?
Thanks, Joel! I’ll give it a shot and will post my print settings if it comes out well. Great work on the design! I’ll have to send you a donation
I loved my ultimaker 2’s…had to leave them at my old lab. Great printers. Try out some ABS slurry. Both @FLATLINEcustoms and I use it in consort with Kapton tape and get nearly perfect bed adhesion every time.
I almost exclusively print with ABS. Occasionally, a print will require the use of TPU, or ninjaFLEX TPE but those are left to the flexystruder Lulzbot mini.
Troy you are a LEGEND! That looks so good and you didn’t use any clay… Still can’t wait to see the video. I need to get with you for some resin orders as well.
