i'll keep you posted once these bulbs arrive. I also seen mention something about programming the temp control so it cycles less by increasing and decreasing something. I'll look for it. but imma probably try that out and add a timer to the shaker. since currently i'm turning the knob back and forth to make the duster drop and not drop powder

i was thinking about doing something like this too. it will definitely be cost effective and better coverage than using bulbs. Kinda like the mat that comes in some of the desktop dtf oven.

I ended up finding some shorter bulbs. they should be around 10.5 inches. it may or may not work but instead of having one long bulb going straight across. Imma going to stagger them. I have noticed that america sucks when it comes down to these bulbs. I've found places in canada and the uk carrying them. look up this "220V 400W Quartz Heater Tube Infrared Heating Element Pipe". I also found bulbs with a screw end so you have to make your own connection.

I think i figured out something that I want to test. but the place don't have enough 300w (220v). Do you know if the 400w (220v) would work or nah.

Ok cool. I might have to look into maybe redesigning the lid. This bulb here is 15 3/8 so it should definitely be curing the full length. Maybe the bulbs on its last leg.

Thanks. Let me know if u find it. My next question, Is the 15in length of the bulbs sized from end to end of the white or is the bulb measured from coil to coil. because the straight part of the wire don’t get hot just from the start of the coiled up part. So if I’m looking for bulbs am I looking for 15in bulbs or something bigger. If that makes sense.

Yeah he said he got this shaker when they first started selling them. Ive actually been looking for bigger bulbs before i found your tinkering. I figured as much that i could go up to about 300w even maybe 400w for 220v. Did you find a good vendor that sold 15in/38cm 300w bulbs? I have another shaker coming. they say it's 33cm but I want to have bulbs just incase it's not.

the shaker I have I got used from a friend and he brought the gray mini shaker from dtfsuperstore when he sold them. ok so if i'm understanding correctly. the sheet metal you used, plugging some of the holes at the top of the oven and the take roll guards solved your edge curing issue. because these bulbs should have been longer in my option. as far as using the hvac tape on the holes. I think this one might be different with the holes. 2 rows are offest from element 1 and 3, 1 row directly above element 2 and the other 2 rows of holes are in the center of element 1/2 and 2/3
