Repairing Humminbird Smartcast RF15e Fish Finder

Humminbird "Advanced RSS" Sonar modules got a CR2032 battery inside, just in case you need to repair one.

The case is sealed by ultrasonic, so you need to cut the plastic with a sharp knife and glue the case shut when done.

The water sensor terminals need to be de-soldered

It's pretty easy, once opened.

Glued together

Mach es jetzt.

Lass dich fallen.
Lerne Schnecken zu beobachten.
Pflanze unmögliche Gärten.
Lade jemand Gefährlichen zum Tee ein.
Mache kleine Zeichen, die “Ja” sagen
und verteile sie überall in deinem Haus.
Werde ein Freund von Freiheit und Unsicherheit.
Freue dich auf Träume.
Weine bei Kinofilmen.
Schaukel so hoch du kannst mit einer Schaukel bei Mondlicht.
Pflege verschiedene Stimmungen.
Verweigere “verantwortlich” zu sein. Tu es aus Liebe.
Mach viele Nickerchen.
Gib Geld weiter. Tu es jetzt. Das Geld wird folgen.
Glaube an Zauberei.
Lache viel.
Bade im Mondlicht.
Träume wilde, phantasievolle Träume.
Zeichne auf die Wände.
Lies jeden Tag.
Stell dir vor, du wärst verzaubert.
Kichere mit Kindern.
Höre alten Leuten zu.
Öffne dich, tauche ein, sei frei.
Segne dich selbst.
Lass die Angst fallen.
Spiele mit allem.
Unterhalte das Kind in dir.
Du bist unschuldig.
Baue eine Burg aus Decken.
Werde nass.
Umarme Bäume.
Schreibe Liebesbriefe.

Danke, Oli!

Slides from my talk at Webmontag Frankfurt (Hannah's Bed)

Here are my slides from Webmontag 40 in Frankfurt (PDF in German, more pictures than text, though).

Thanks to all who attended, all interested and interesting people.

I am looking forward to seeing your remixes and ideas!

Featured!!1!

Yay, Hannah's bed is featured on Thingiverse!

Große Freude! ;)

BTW, I'll cover the process of designing and building it in a short talk at Webmontag Frankfurt #wmfra40 (tomorrow).

Rolladenstopper (rolling shutter stop)

The stoppers on one of our rolling shutters broke this morning.

So, what's better to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon than designing and printing replacement parts to repair household items?

As usual, the sources are in the GIT repository and the part is published on Thingiverse.

A few impressions:

finished parts with mounting kit

look ma, I fixed it... ;-)

Bed: Mattress Frame Holder

I don't want the kids to get injured by the metal parts holding the bed frame, so I designed a plastic cap covering the bare metals parts that are mounted under the bed. Will print ten of them on the weekend. OpenSCAD files are in the repo.

Mattress frame holder

Bed: Built

The bed is built – my kids are happy.

There's one more thing I need to do: adding some bumper around the metal brackets holding the mattress frame. There's a construction in the repo, it's currently printing.

last touches

happy "customers" ;-)
