The lock button on my car key fob hasn’t been working for ~ 6 months. I was looking at buying a new key fob for between $9 to $35, but something told me to take it apart.

Some isopropyl alcohol, a used toothbrush, and 5 minutes later I discovered some kind of sticky blue goop had infiltrated my key fob. After a quick brush down and slight emersion of the lock button, my key fob is now working again.

    I’m curious as to the 3d printer. How long ago was this and where are you located that a small printer was $600+? And is this USD or?

        Ah. Flashforge and Oz. That answers all, thanks :-)

        I was gonna say, my first 3d printer was a DaVinci MiniMaker for about $250 USD back around 2014 or so, so $600 for a small printer was blowing my mind.
