Fixed a ripped out USB socket/pcb from RK-9000 with 3d Priting + soldering
« on: Fri, 01 May 2015, 23:17:25 »
I just fixed a friend's RK-9000 that had the USB and part of the PCB ripped out. I tried apoxy at first but there was not enough support.

A co-worker has a 3d Printer at work, and let's other people use it so I made a sleave for the USB connector and it ended up working fairly well.

Nice :)

I also enjoy modding/fixing stuff with the aid of simple 3d printed parts, really increases the quality of life in general

Nice fix!  Nice thought out solution too.  I'm sure there will be a good demand for those too!

Haha, yea it is quite surprising how much fun it is. Really feel like we're in the future when doing this stuff.

Thanks! I ended up adding the link to the *.stl file in the imgur links so someone could grab it and print it out if they need.
