So Adam, I don't need this knowledge currently, but when you say the oven temperatures, are you referring to Celsius or Fahrenheit??? It's not something I would normally care about, but I know that here in the US the usual measurements are fahrenheit, while for instance, in the PC industry, the heating standard used all over the world is Celsius, if you need to compare temperatures with a technician or another user, because, "it just is"... Whereas in ovens, in general, have a geography based temperature numbering scheme, that might be different between individuals based on preference, or job requirements. Thanks for the great work you do Adam!!!

Interesting side note on the gentle application of heat: Many optical shops use heat guns to warm plastics to adjust eyeglasses. I noticed that at my Veterans Administration Medical Center eyeglass shop, they use a stainless steel 'hotel pan' filled with small (~2mm) glass beads sitting on a hot plate. It's gentle, well-distributed heat and they can 'soak' eyeglasses in the temperature-controlled beads with no damage. Kinda' like a 'sous vide' cooking method, but dry.

You can use a 3d printer's heated bed as a handy source of gentle heat! You can put a box upside-down over the parts to make the heat a little more even. You may need to give the printer an M86 S0 to turn off the safety timer otherwise it might turn off the heat in 30 minutes but don't let it out of your sight.

The first step to prevent warping of resin parts is to post cure them with heat. All my castings get baked for several hours at 145F in an old food dehydrator, after no less than 24 hours in a pressure tank. I pop the part loose from half the mold then seat it back on the mold to put in the dehydrator. Convection heat is the best. Early on (over 20 years ago) I tried a regular oven and the radiant heat would ruin the freshly cast parts. A countertop convection oven is good for resins that need higher temperatures. Resins continue to increase the crosslinking of the polymer for a long time. Post curing with heat accelerates that and makes them more warp resistant. Some resins will never achieve their full strength sitting around at room temperature. But post cure them and they can sit out in summer sunlight and won't soften. For straightening resin castings I use hot water. I heat a pan of water to 200F (I have an old Kelvinator dual oven stove made in 1965, with one burner that is thermostat controlled with precise temp selection) and while wearing nitrile gloves I dunk parts in that need to be straightened. The gloves are to prevent getting scorched by the water, not for heat protection from long immersion. A big benefit of this method is I can target the straightening, I don't have to heat the whole casting. One item I make always warps during post curing so I have to straighten every one. It's just the nature of the shape of the casting and the mold. One large part I made a lot of, I made a thin silicone mold of the inside then a fiber reinforced resin support shell. The purpose was for providing support for post curing since the inner part of the mold wouldn't fit into the dehydrator. The buyer sent one batch back all cattywampus because he left them in the box instead of unpacking them immediately and storing them on a shelf until he sold them. So I put each one on the post curing support and in the dehydrator they settled back to proper shape. For something like the parts in this video, if most of them were warped and warped worse than these were, I'd have made a silicone and resin support off the back side of the straightest one then used it to heat all of them on to straighten.

Even before Adam started suggesting that he might sell them on eBay, it occurred to me that the same found parts show up in many places, both in the same franchise and across franchises. I could see those being used on control consoles (which is what they are) exteriors of scale models, sandwiched together to make a jewelry box for a cosplayer or just a Star Wars fan, even as project boxes for electronic assemblies. Automobile fans might like them if you could make them look like an actual Volvo instrument housing.

Although I haven't had any occasion to "relax" thermoset plastic parts I use a related technique on cables with a thermoplastic jacket. For example, I purchased a pair of wired earbuds. The connecting wire was shipped after it was formed in a hank (folded back and fourth with a tight bend at each end) as is unfortunately all to common. That leaves a bend in the cable every couple of inches. I attach one ear bud to a support and allow the other to hang freely, perhaps with a small weight at the hanging end. I then use a hair dryer to get the cable jacket hot (a hair dryer is safer than a heat gun for this purpose) and then leave it to cool. That substantially eliminates the kinks in the cable.

The word “cattywampus,” has also been spelled in a variety of other ways including catawampus, catiwampus, etc. When it was first used in the U.S. around 1834 as an adverb, it meant “completely, utterly or avidly.” It first appeared as a noun (catawampus) in Dickens’ Martin Chuzzlewit (1843), though it probably was first recorded as a noun in American works shortly before that.

Many years ago my parents worked at the Max Planck Institute in Dortmund. One of the other researchers there would heat water for tea by placing an aluminum tea kettle over a bunsen burner on low. Unfortunately he was also a little absent-minded. Sometimes he (or someone else) would grab the kettle off the flame before it boiled dry. Other times they didn't, and the crumpled remains of between four and six melted tea kettles were mounted to the wall above the lab bench in a neat row.

But the smell of diesel, fresh tarmac takes me back to the most enjoyable times in working. So keep sniffing, but no huffing and always in a very wide atmosphere. Peace ✌️ 🤙

Years ago I had some LPs, and I was told you were supposed to store then vertically, so I did. Then one day I went to play one and I noticed there was something wrong with the music. I then discovered there was one part of the LP where the track was straight, not curved, and I wondered how this could be. My suspicion was storing LPs vertically can lead to them becoming distorted where the record is sitting on the ground. I felt obligated to throw those LPs away as I couldn't stand listening to the music being distorted. After that I stored my LPs horizontally, not vertically. I guess you could restore an LP like this with some sort of heat treatment, but I think you would need lots of love and patience.

Such weird timing. Just last night I was gluing together a "balrog" I 3D printed, and the joints where the wings attached to the body didn't line up. I am pretty sure the heat of the lamp I used to cure them caused them to soften and may have warped the joint part slightly. What I did was sand it down as close as I could get it, and then I very slowly heated it by brushing it with the flame of a lighter, and then I pushed them into place to let the "male" part of the wing form to the "female" part on it's back. This worked incredibly well on the first wing, but I was a bit too eager with the second wing and as I pushed it into place it formed some cracks in the plastic of the wing. Luckily I noticed them before they got too bad and I was able save it by gluing the cracks back together at the same time as I was gluing the wings on, but that was when I learned that UV resin didn't actually melt when heat was applied like other plastics. And now I'm watching this video and I learned the difference between a "Thermoplastic" and a "Thermoset". So yeah, thanks for putting some proper terminology to what I was seeing happen.
