Width 6mm to 17mm Self-adhesive EPDM Foaming Strips Self-adhesive Flat Square Strip Glued EPDM Foaming Sealing Strips (WHL #118)

Slot covers. Slot covers for aluminium extrusions. That’s the topic for today.

Just the other day I was thinking about sealing against a 2020 extrusion slot. In a sort-of air-tight way. And after tinkering and ordering a bunch of samples of things that could work, I had a second look into one of the options: This could work for pure looks as well.

You see, the classic 40×40 (or larger, like 40×80, 40×160 if you like it beefy) aluminium profiles have readily available sealing strips against dust.

Bosch Gourmet 8400 oven mode selector switch repair (Dreefs 4-DPS/260) (#P31)

A long, tedious blog post for today. This has been in the making for about 9 weeks and I’ve been looking for parts for another year or two. Pictures have been taken on multiple occasions in multiple locations, so it’s a hotchpotch that somewhat reflects the process. This is the use case for the 3D model generation of the WHL #61 post.

Our Bosch Gourmet 8400 microwave and baking oven has been there for as long as I can remember. It’s a huge and darn heavy thing for a microwave oven (27l volume!), and rather small for a baking oven with grill (broiler) functionality. […]
