Shredder Updates



The coupler and shaft have been a big sticking point. I still haven't been able to locate clips to keep that shaft in place, but will be seeking some out ASAP. Currently the shaft works its way away from the shredder, to the point that it put pressure on the elastomer "spider" middle piece.


Squidgy spidey. I'll be getting a replacement. I don't think the metal parts have touched yet, but they will if I don't fix it.

Real quickly I'll go over another broken product I've been given. This was an old humidifier. I pulled it apart and unfortunately could not use ANY plastic from it!



They're all marked #7 "OTHER". Is it ABS? PC? PA6? No idea, and I'm not going to do a melt test just to figure it out. Bad design. What annoys me the most is that any of those plastic type abbreviations would have taken less effort to enter onto the part than "OTHER". At worst it would have take two fewer letters!

I ended up throwing the wiring, metal, and motor into my e-waste pile for recycling, so it's not all being landfilled.

  1. The payback proportion for this sport shoots a lot as} 99.54%, which is healthier than the percentages of specialists who play blackjack. In the best circumstances, nonetheless, the participant generally will break up a flush, a straight, or 점보카지노 a pair of jacks or higher. If you don't have one of the "always hold" hands, use the following record. Find the best listing that fits your predraw hand, and discard any playing cards that don't match the hand. The four-card open straight flush is larger on the record than the pair of jacks or higher, so you'll discard the jack of spades and draw to the four-card straight flush. Free on-line video poker is great when you're looking to study the principles and master the sport.
