Utilite & ProtoMach
ProtoMach, I saw that broken toaster on the counter—took too long to just throw it away, right? Let’s dismantle it and make a makeshift USB charger mount out of the parts. Your old coffee mug can double as a holder; it’s got enough grit to survive the soldering flux. What do you say?
Yeah, let's cut the toaster into parts, grab the metal, wire it, solder the bits together, use the mug as a mount, and get the charger off the counter. No wasted time.
Cut the toaster, snag the metal, wire the bits, solder them tight, stick the mug on the side, and boom—charger up off the counter. No time wasted, just pure action.
Sure, but remove the heating element first, or you'll short the circuit. Keep the mug's handle off the wiring, and you'll get a solid mount.
Got it—heat element out, keep the handle clear, mount it on the mug, and we’re good. Let's get it wired.
Cut the heating element out, keep the mug handle clear, mount the metal frame on the mug, then wire the charger plug to the exposed copper, solder all joints tight, and test with a multimeter before hooking the charger. Done.
Nice plan—just make sure those soldered joints stay solid, and we’ll have a fresh, DIY charging station in no time.
