Anyone Dremel out their kayfun clone

^that last one is pretty warped.

Get a file if you want to enlarge wells. I got mine at harbor freight.. more work for easing it open slowly. Unless, you feel confident with a drimmel.. and have one.

I do have a dremel, as well as access to files so may try the file first.
What do you mean by warped?

With the evaporation chamber on, the deck looks warped. It could be the angle..you might need to break out the drimmel for the channels to meet wells.

That thing is trash! I don't buy clones and this reminds me why.

I think If I make the vertical channels a bit deeper and keep the depth even to where the channels transition, it should do well to its performance. the positive block is a little cocked ccw, but that is my fault as i loosened up the center shaft and was too lazy or did not care to straighten it out after i re-tightened. So i think i can save it from the trash bin lol.

It can definitely be fixed and work.

honestly I have found that just saving up the 85-90$ for a russian has been the best solution, the thing works great except for a tiny bit of liquid at the 510 connection once in a blue moon. For people looking to get the most out of their clones a dremel and a couple bits are where it's at. just IMO

best of LLuck be safe!

I have done a few mods to my clone like bigger channels, but I use a mini mill. I would not use a dremel though, there's just not enough control with your hand.
