Clogged Roomba

This is about half of what I got out, including what was on the floor in the video.
Cat toy clogged it.

Tinman / Kent White / TMTechnologies hoses

Does anyone know if Kent’s family members have started making hoses again for the meco m torch? I was told his son (I think) was selling them but I’m having trouble finding them for sale online.
I’m just looking for some nice, lightweight hose for my torch.

Showing off my baby studio

I just wanted to post here to show off my baby studio. I’m currently taking college classes in jewelry fabrication.

My mother was a jeweler, and passed away 25 years ago when I was a baby. I found her bench and tons of tools in a storage container. I moved them to my place and stranded and stained the bench and I’m really happy with my space right now. I even noticed that she set a stone in the wood of the bench and in one of the bench pins.

I have a large bench polisher (not pictured) and would love to know your favorite polishing compounds and which polishing wheels you like for Tripoli & Zam on Sterling silver.

Mobi Motor Failure

I started using the mobi at the beginning of 2025.
At some point the motor started making a weird noise while changing the tubing and during insulin delivery. I had many cartridge failures but tandem gave me the run around until it completely stopped working.
June 10 2025 it completely stopped working and I got a replacement.
Now, June 6 2026 my pump has been making the same sound but I haven’t had any real issues until today. It has completely stopped working and I was issued a replacement which should be here on Tuesday. At least I wasn’t given any run around and just an immediate replacement issued this time around 😅

I’m frustrated that there seems to be an ongoing motor issue, and when the warranty is over I *might* have a year before i have to buy a new pump.
