Using my Syil fitted X3 today and something went "POP"
CNC side of things stopped working. I thought "That doesn't sound good""
Anyway shut it down and removed the rear casing which holds the Syil electronics and to my horror I found everything
covered in fine aluminium glitter. You will know of what I speak if you have machined much aluminium with small cutters.
It was all inside the power supply and drivers and just everywhere. Not just a little bit. Lots of it.
Now I thought "Wow!! This is going to be expensive"
Pulled it all down. Opened the drives and power supply and carefully blew all the glitter out.
Reassembled everything and power supply and drives would light up. Looks not so bad maybe.
No power to the Breakout board. Turned out to be the small transformer that supplies the BoB had kicked the bucket. Not related to glitter at all.
A simple $5 part. More by good luck than good management let me assure you. :withstupi
Now the moral of this long story is that it could have, and probably should have, been a lot worse.
Don't let this happen to you. (nuts)
I think I will have to move all that control gear to a better location. In a box somewhere else, or something.
