Highly recommend using a piece of cardboard to organize screws for any larger repair project. There is no way I would have kept these straight even in a partitioned container. (Also WHY SO MANY TYPES OF SCREWS, 80S PRINTER DESIGNERS!?) #RetroTech #repair

1. A piece of cardboard with many types of screws pushed into it. There are labels written in sharpie for where the screws go.

  @bytex64 That's a really cool idea.

  @csepp The main thread for this project is here: https://awesome.garden/@bytex64/109899754326079814
  I just looked for the service manual and followed the instructions for tearing it down. There is some creative interpretation sometimes, but the main thing is work carefully, be organized, and take reference pictures.

  @bytex64 Oooh, you're repairing a printer? ?
  Do you have some kind of link dump for someone who (eventually) wants to get into that? I have a few printers waiting for me to level up my electronics skills.

  @bytex64 I think DFM as an idea wasn't as widely developed back then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_for_manufacturability

    Design for manufacturability
    
    Design for manufacturability (also sometimes known as design for manufacturing or DFM) is the general engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. The concept exists in almost all engineering disciplines, but the implementation differs widely depending on the manufacturing technology. DFM describes the process of designing or engineering a product in order to facilitate the manufacturing process in order to reduce its manufacturing costs. DFM will allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase which is the least expensive place to address them. Other factors may affect the manufacturability such as the type of raw material, the form of the raw material, dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing. Depending on various types of manufacturing processes there are set guidelines for DFM practices. These DFM guidelines help to precisely define various tolerances, rules and common manufacturing checks related to DFM. While DFM is applicable to the design process, a similar concept called DFSS (Design for Six Sigma) is also practiced in many organizations. Critics of...
