So last night I accidentally fell asleep with my setup in hand. I went to open up the STM to refill for my workday and that's when all help broke loose...
I must've been pushing on the tank in my sleep because somehow the metal frame got bent out of whack. The middle o ring came out so I pulled the pyrex tube off and replaced the ring then when I tried to slide the tube back down it kept pushing the ring down instead of sliding over it. Tried replacement tube and o ring, still same problem. I tried putting it on without the ring and now the frame won't thread into the base.
Anyone have this problem and manage to bend it back in place? I haven't seen replacement frame/top pieces being sold anywhere either... Any advice at all would be great.
I have my gfs to use as reference and was going to try to carefully bend it with my fingers.
