Title: Model M keys in the dishwasher, what about the case?
Post by: TacticalCoder on Mon, 20 June 2011, 12:48:49

I put my Model M key stems and key caps in the dishwasher (and the panels of my LaserJet printers too).  Never had any issue.

What about IBM Model M cases: can these be put in the dishwasher?  

What about the barrel (say if I try a bolt mod, can I put the barrel in the dishwasher too)?

Depends on your dishwasher.  ABS cases will warp below 100 deg C.

 
"will warp below 100 deg C"...

OK but that really doesn't say much : )  You meant "will not warp below 100 deg C"?

My dishwasher can run from 40 to 70 deg C.

Also, Model M cases are all made from ABS ?

You live in the US and know metric????  Blasphemy.  Burn him at the stake.  I bet you eat McDonald's less than twice a day and are a healthy weight.  You're not American.  Deport him and THEN burn him at the stake!

It should be fine, but you'll lose the birth certificate on the back.

Please don't click on this if there is a chance you'll report me.  Geekhackers are so SENSITIVE lately.

I will be sure to remind the Geekhack flock of your flight, er plight until Ducky jokes are billed as a feature to be crowed about and not just a tired meme.

I've seen warping and don't put the cases into the dishwasher anymore.

Found my old posts about this while looking for something else. The Ambra case bent at 50 deg Celsius. Ambra is a Model M but with different (white) plastic.
