I once had an argument with the proprietor of an electronics shop when I tried to return a faulty meter, they said I had invalidated the warranty by opening it and snipping the wire. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Do you amortise the price of the kitchen and all the appliances you use when you cook a meal? I would, which is why I haven't brought a high end coffee machine for me instant is good enough I'm glad I don't apprieciate fine coffees or wines. If I had a PP3 battery at home that needed protecting I;d stick a bit of insulation tape over the terminals, or find the tops at work from the boxes of 10 PP3s we buy, and with a bit (a lot) of luck I'll find the safe place where I put those rubber cap tops which I knew would be useful in the future. I wouldn't have bought (built) the printer to print a PP3 cap but could (easily since Mark provided the dimensions g) and do so cheaply now I have. Filament is roughly £15 quid / kg and the electricity wouldn't run to much for something that small. Do you factor in your time too, that is one thing our students don't think of. How long do you think it would take you to design such a thing ? For sucha small thing I'm not sure you're average 3D printer would print accuratly enough for a snug fit, would be fun trying it. |

I wouldn't either but if he's swapping them like I do then yuo woulkd have new batteries to use and I suggest he would have got better results from less than half those number of battreis if he hadn't of used old one, that's all. He was gettign under 1000 volts from 244 9V batteries. He he'd usedf 111 9V battereis he would have got the 1KV and the current capacity of a new 9V battery, rather than 1KV with 244 batteries with less current due to the higher internal resistance of the older/used batteries. |
