The 12c repair of the rubber feet

Recommended Posts

Having seen Uwe's 3D-printed feet and having contemplated doing the same, I bought a spool of Ninjaflex and showed the design to a family member who is proficient with CAD, but they are busy.

So, in the mean time I have to use the machine, and having to lift up the body every time I have to slide open the bobbin compartment drives me nuts.

Well, keep in mind that Canada had gotten rid of the penny, some years back, and that I still have a coffee can full of them...

In the end it cost me exactly 12 cents, to fix the feet: one stack of 2 under each of the rear feet and two stacks of 2 under each of the front. These were the best 12 cents that I have ever spent, as now the bobbin cover slides out freely. Whew!

I've put my pennies under these feet, between them and the fiberboard of the tabletop.
