Three times it started OK, but after some time (several power ON/OFF and hours) without a warning one of Q30/31 has popped and corresponding resistor totally destroyed. Furthermore two ksc2690 (k216 eq.), one fjpf2145 (c3675) blown and damages to PSU. If you don’t know what you are doing (I obviously haven’t a clue) don’t change Q30/31. Let them be 2sc3675 (or fjpf2145 - I used it for more then six years now).
June 10, 20206 yr So I built I fire today... This will eventually be a golden reference bias supply / doubler (because over-kill has no limits). My probe apparently touched something it shouldn’t have. Quite the spectacular fireworks. My heart is still racing
June 10, 20206 yr Poubelle! 😁 One of the first words I learned when I worked in France. Thanks for the pic. Words couldn't have done it justice.
June 11, 20206 yr Attacking crowded smd boards with test probes are indeed risky business. My heart rate increases when I just think of it and sometimes my hands shake so it’s not possible…
June 11, 20206 yr Remarkably, most of the components survived. The current regulator, U1, was vaporized along with the set resistors. The main fire was from the bottom through hole resistor. Next step, Poubelle! After that, I’m putting in a more robust current regulator. Edited June 11, 20206 yr by Kerry

June 12, 20206 yr I was hoping for something quite the opposite, but one never knows Edited June 12, 20206 yr by Kerry
June 16, 20206 yr Made some simple clamps for the Shapeoko out of some scrap red oak. Don't have a finished picture because I don't have a flush-trim router bit to cut off the tabs. Still learning feeds and speeds so the finish is also questionable.
June 18, 20206 yr You inspired me to get off my ass and work on my first real mod for the Traeger, a magnetic cutting board to mount to the top of the pellet hopper. I used the Shapeoko to machine a pocket into the back side of the cutting board as well as to make the recesses for the magnets. Then used the laser engraver to etch Traeger's logo into the top. I'll probably make a fancier version at some point but this will do for now.
June 18, 20206 yr Delivered this cutting board to my sister who is a lifelong quilter. *snip* Edited June 18, 20206 yr by Voltron
June 18, 20206 yr Love the cutting boards Al and Nate! Nate: I got this front folding shelf for my Traeger and love it. Don’t know why it doesn’t come with the grill. https://www.bbqguys.com/traeger/folding-front-shelf-for-pro-series-34-pellet-grills

If I get the manufacturing time down I'll make you a cutting board for your Traeger. Al, That cutting board is gorgeous, well done!
