(Part 2) Best o-rings according to redditors

OK, buckle-up! I'm going to save you a several hour journey into the bowels of the internet to hunt down all this particular information. :-)

Better Ear Tips for the BLON BL-03:

For good ear tips, pick up some Sony MH755 earphones for the BLONs. (They are available for ~$5 on Aliexpress, roughly the same on Ebay). The tips off of these Sony's are a perfect fit/match for the Blons. An added plus is that they come with an assortment of different sized tips, so you can pick the ones with the best fit for you.

Another great option on ear tips for the BLONs are the Final Audio Type E tips. Here's a source for them on Amazon. (I like these a little better than the MH755 tips, but either are really nice upgrades for the BLONs.)

Another tip for tips on BLONs... (Hah! Sorry, couldn't resist!) Some folks (to include me) add these small gaskets around the BLON's stem base in order to help get whatever tips they use to extend up and further out - sort of a tip booster seat. :-) This really helps to deliver a better seal. (The BLON stems are notoriously short, so folks with larger ears will definitely benefit from doing this more so than folks with small ears.)

Better cables for the BLON BL-03:

The Blons use a square, protruded .78mm 2 pin connector. (NX7-style). These are a bit harder to find, but they are out there if you want a perfect match to the square connector housing. (Note that you may need to trim the pins down a little to make them flush with the connector housing though - easily done using a pair of wire snips. Thanks Tacanacy!) Cable example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000129870705.html (Choosing the NX7 style option... Note these cables are probably overkill, but they are really nice cables.)

If you are willing to file/cut down the square edges of the Blon's cable connector to make it a bit more oval (using a hobby knife or small file), they can easily be made to fit any QDC or type "C" connector which is a pretty standard cable connector type. This will let you then fit any QDC connector based cable over the Blon's protruded plug and get a nice snug fit up against the housing of the Blon. Lots more options in types/brands of cable if you go this route. Here's a nice example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33018785015.html (Choosing the "QDC 3.5" option)

If you don't want to do the above mod (shave down the square edges of the Blon's connector), any exposed (non-hooded) connector that uses two pins (.78mm) will work just fine with the Blons, but they will be flush with the connector and not cover or sleeve over it. They will still be 100% functional and work great though.

As to cable brands, I've found that all of these are really good quality (in my order of preference): Nicehck, Kbear, Tripowin, Yinyoo, TRN

Also, if you see a bunch of different cable plug connectors (2.5mm, 3.5mm, 4.4mm) and don't know which is which, the 3.5mm plug is the one you'll want - it's the standard that will fit pretty much every audio device out there. (The others are typically used more with esoteric/higher-end audio gear which utilize balanced cable connections - ones which don't share a common ground wire between the left/right channels and require more connector contacts and an additional wire in the mix.)

I'd also recommend that you pick out at least an 8 core braided cable as they tend to be a bit thicker and *much* less tangle prone then the stock cables or others that use thinner wires. I really like the look/feel of the 16 core cables myself, but they may be a bit on the bulky side for some, especially if you plan to use them for fitness activities or around the gym.

And finally, if you are still reading this wall of text, no matter which cables you get, be sure to get the orientation of the plug right otherwise your audio will be out of phase and may sound a bit odd. It's pretty easy to mix up the plug orientation on the connectors! Here's a site you can use to check to make sure you got them right: https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php

Hope all this info helped!

ahh ok. I would say maybe put a low profile rubber ring around the button so it doesnt bottom out when it comes up.

Or a gasket similar to this, except being the right size of course;

The ones on Amazon are mostly steel, while the one on the site you linked is aluminum. Not sure if it'll make a huge difference either way. They do tend to back off during shooting, so you might want to pick up some 12mm ID silicone/viton o-rings either way to help keep it in place - I picked up these.

ID should be ~a little over 1/2", I got 9/16". Should be out of silicone.

Both currently sold out.

Amazon has them for cheap.

Yep, you want 1/4" ID, 3/8" OD.

These are the o-rings I bought.

That's an odd failure mode. Sounds like the clutch ring got stuck or something. Either way, the new one should be with you for a long time~

As for wobble, I did the tape fix, and it was dead solid for a little while, but I've since noticed the nib clicking on the inside of the barrel again while I'm writing. I'm planning to try Kapton tape instead of the clear packing tape that's currently on there, and I'm gonna try adding in an o-ring at some point once I either decide to buy 99 more than I need at that link or find a source for smaller quantities (gonna try Home Depot, they're size A005), for what that's worth.

Tandy Leather sells nickel plated rings up to 3". You could also get some large rubber seals on amazon. Like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CUR5YS8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_W4aoybYYRD39A

Buy these. Think they are what I got and work perfectly

I would not glue them.

If you use these washers you can take them apart and store them were you keep the tiles and just keep the posts in a small box with the washers in the game. Use a washer at the top and at the bottom like in my example here.

Sorry for the long link. I don’t know how to hyperlink on mobile. Is this what you are looking for?

any idea on the general diameter or thickness i need? i dont have that issue on my other barrels. i have heard one guy who put teflon tape on the threads to thicken them up but i havent tried it myself.

edit: you mean these? https://www.amazon.com/Sur-Seal-ORBN013x250-Number-013-Standard-Durometer/dp/B01M6UMXW9/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1478226885&sr=8-3&keywords=013+viton+o-ring

Get some rubber O rings and install it on the KB so that you stop bottoming out, that's likely what you're hearing. The switches themselves are silent as opposed to something like a cherry Mx blue (or equivalent) switch that has a noticable click sound with each key press. Example O rings (there's cheaper out there though, I got some from china on ebay for like a buck)

The first part might say its NOT compatible with your car, it’s wrong. You discard the filter / strainer portion and keep the metal “cap” portion. This part works for H4 and H6 engines. It’s the ‘work around’ you have to do unless you want to spend $300 for a whole new fuel pump and assembly.

The 2nd part is a 928 Viton o-ring that does not swell in ethanol. The OEM o ring ends up swelling in ethanol which ruptures the metal cap causing your car not to hold pressure when parked, which causes your car to starve for fuel on startup.

$2 O-rings on Amazon

Be aware that different o-rings affect the key travel, key sound, and key feel in unique ways.

I recently replaced the o-rings on my valve and I used a -117 silicone o-ring that I bought off of amazon. It was like $15 for a pack of 50, which will last me for a really long time (I think this is the one). I put my system together over the weekend and I don't have any leaks. One thing to watch for as you're tightening the inner bolt is that the o-ring can squeeze out and that will cause a leak.

ok the right person has found your distress call as a registered tech nerd these are my recommendations

this is option 1 O rings if you can take the key "caps" off your keyboard buy these and put these on BOOM your keyboard will be whisper quite only works for mechanical keyboards

should you not have a good keyboard or the one you have is not mechanical I recommend this a cheaper scaled down version of the k95 programmable keys let you make commands like copy and paste super easy and can help more then you'd think this board is compatible with the O ring kit above to with those you'd have a solid keyboard for anything that's quite

hope this helps!
