Re: Replacing the control board
|
Years ago, I did a modification to my control board. To prevent swarf from getting to the board, I fastened a piece of clear plastic (the kind used on report covers) about an inch away from it with RTV silicone.? And I had already drilled these screened ventilation holes in the section of the cover next to the board.?
?
So after these two modifications, my board has been protected from both swarf and dust bunnies, but it still gets adequate ventilation.

Being covered with convection-preventing stuff (the infamous "dust bunnies") isn't good for their long-term longevity.
