Patching mesh filters on robot

[Katodude]

Hey all,

The mesh filter on the M500 is detaching a little from the plastic. Does anyone know where I can buy that material to maybe make a small patch that I can superglue it back.

Or does anyone have a better idea?

You can buy a screen patch kit at Home Depot. It may not be the same mesh but it is applied with heat from a hair dryer.

I ordered some silkscreen fabric which looks almost exactly like the mesh filter fabric.

But of course my superglue has solidified in the tube, so just ordered some more today. Will report back when it arrives.

Well the superglue arrived, and I tried applying the silkscreen patches. It was really hard to get the superglue to fully cover the patch. But lets see how it works.

Anybody have any better ideas for what kind of adhesive I should use?
