Got this background from etsy (will send the original in dm for editing it is ~2500x1800).

Please edit the sockets to look like they are in europe (e.g. the common abb tango eu socket). or replace with something that fits, e.g. another picture. I like that it is imperfect, simply removing the sockets makes the picture too empty.

Replacing Aergrind seal - o-ring fitting hack

I have Aergrind hand grinder and use it every day. It is several years old, it is the older version that has metal lid, silver handle, and is all black. It always had problems holding the settings a bit, and was slipping from 2-2 (2 turns, + 2 notches) to 2-8 often. But recently it gave up, and the settings just go from 2-2 to 5+, which makes it unusable.

I read online that this is caused by the small o-ring failing and it needs replacement, I luckily still have the original and decided to change it. It seemed impossible to put it on without damaging the o-ring, and I had no special tools.

I remembered 5-minutes craft video and took a long piece of ribbon, threaded that through the grinder and then threaded that through the o-ring. This gave me leverage to pull the o-ring apart, and also protected it from the threads on the grinder shaft. After that I cut the ribbon carefully and took the pieces out.

If you google Ultimate o-ring hack, you will see what I mean (will post photos below). I did use ribbon though rather than string, rubber gets cut easily by applying too much force, and ribbon helped

Now the settings are very firm, and it works so much better than I remember. Should have done this years ago instead of waiting.
