Give that wiggly GF tray the boot!

Thanks, I think he turned out pretty awesome.

timjedwards · August 23, 2018, 3:47am

I wonder how much variation there is between chassis… Glad a minor tweak made things happy!

If I were you, I’d get your money back.

Chuckle!

Hey,I can identify. I’m an introverted type, but the anonymity of the monitor/keyboard allow us to extend (safely) a bit further out of our shells.

Killer solution to the tray zero position issue. Nice work Tim.

Awesome, going to have to cut me a pair of those boots.

I’ve been wanting to make an oversized cat scratcher using the pass through. But I keep worrying about alignment.

I’ll install these before I try again!

I guess these boots weren’t made for walkin.’

Thanks!

Very much this. I’ve had people comment that I’m much quieter in person than they expected, after meeting me first online. It’s a great medium for us “I” folks.

Someone I knew used to refer to himself as a “gregarious hermit.” Said he liked people just fine – but only one at a time.

that’s not what they do…

maybe they shoulda been concrete shoes?

And being the younger brother of a sister, I totally agree with all the sentiments posted here. To this day I cringe any time I see someone making a pinching gesture with their fingers… which is like everyone now that we have mobile devices… it’s like PTSD hell.

geek2nurse · August 23, 2018, 4:49pm

Aww, I’m sorry! I was a nice sister. And @timjedwards wasn’t ever one of those little brothers who needed pinching. The OTHER two, now – they’re a whole 'nother story! (One of them STILL needs pinching, regularly!)

jbmanning5 · August 23, 2018, 4:54pm

Huh, what?

joepohl · August 23, 2018, 5:10pm

When you slide the tray forward, does it rest back into the grooves? Is the height of the tray surface the same as without the boots?

mpipes · August 23, 2018, 5:38pm

yeah my sis dint really pinch much, but I couldn’t think of a good name for the “Tickle Monster Gesture”… huh, I guess that was it… LOL.

geek2nurse · August 23, 2018, 5:39pm

Oh, @timjedwards needed a LOT of tickling. No pinching, but definitely plenty of tickling. (He had the BEST giggle!)

How widespread is this movable crumb tray problem? I can’t seem to get mine to move at all once it’s in the dimples.

timjedwards · August 23, 2018, 6:02pm

That is a most excellent question! I went to measure with the calipers and mine was indeed a wee bit higher than without the boots, but that was rectified with a bit of sanding on the ends of the “toes”.

Based on this adjustment plus @Jules saying hers was a bit tight, I’ll amend the design this evening after testing a fresh-cut pair of replacement boots.

timjedwards · August 23, 2018, 6:02pm

I think it’s common on pros, but I don’t know about basics.

lcronkite · August 23, 2018, 6:03pm

Mine’s a Pro.

Is your front shield installed? That may help firm things up for you.
