Permanent Fix for Stripped Printer Screw Holes: Epoxy Repair Kit vs. Super Glue

Question: I applied a product called Goo Gone to my printhead, which was clogged, then the screw holes were stripped. I use super glue for a temporary fix, but I need a permanent solution as I am looking to convert my printer into a DTF printer. Is there a fix that can help repair this problem?

Answer: As for the issue you stated with the stripped screw holes on the printhead and carriage, We advise to try our screw hole repair kit screw hole repair kit [https://bchtechnologies.com/products/dtf-printhead-carriage-return-screw-hole-repair-complete-kit-l1800-l800-l805-1390-1430-based-printers].This kit uses an especially high-strength epoxy adhesive, which has a few benefits over super glue:

Bond Strength and Load Capacity at Ultimate:

Epoxy adhesives are intended for heavy-duty, load-bearing repairs. They chemically cure into a bond much stronger than the quick-setting but often brittle bond formed by super glue. This strength is crucial in applications requiring repeated use or mechanical stress.

Surface Tap to Filter: 

The viscosity of epoxy makes it great for bridging between surfaces (including stripped screw holes that are not perfectly smooth or aligned). Super glue won’t fill such gaps, so a less-than-perfect fit between the surfaces can lead to a less reliable repair.

Curing Time and Flexibility:

While epoxy has longer curing times than superglue, the extended cure time allows you to adjust components for ideal alignment before the bond finalizes. Cured epoxy is less likely to become brittle and is better able to handle flexural stresses over the long term.

Resistance to Environmental and Chemical Conditions:

Repairs using epoxy are typically more resistant to environmental factors, including heat, humidity, and chemicals. As a result, transferring ink can work their way through your printers when they are subjected to harsh conditions, but this is long-lasting even with repeated clogs commonly experienced in DTF printer conversions.

This specific kit is targeted towards printers such as L1800, L800, L805, and those with similar error codes (1390, 1430, etc.). These designations ensure that the set is appropriate for the specific issues caused by your conversion process, thus resulting in a more lasting and dependable answer than momentary fixes, such as tremendous glue.

While some printer problems can be fixed in software, you are only ever going to be partially successful. So we cannot remotely troubleshoot, we cannot remotely suggest, and we cannot help with the printer to fix it. We provide an in-person assessment and cleaning service at our local test center [https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service] and are currently running a back-log, which is handled on a first-come, first-served basis. We deal with services that repair your complete printer and your respective parts with a step-wise instructional guide on how to go ahead. But we recognise that our rates are not the cheapest. Hence, we strongly advise you to seek self-help through online research. You can visit our BCH Technologies YouTube channel [https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies] or search the YouTube videos using the search configuration next to the About section. I get dozens of inquiries every day about myriad topics, and although we’ve made videos for the past nine years, YouTube’s search function is the most economical way to discover precisely what you’re looking for.” You should also see some recommendations from other channels that can help you.

Again, thank you for contacting us and for your support. Thank you for trusting BCH Technologies; we look forward to supporting you while you work to resolve your printer issues permanently.
