Consists of an armature system, a solenoid coil and possibly fixing material

capable of being influenced or formed; "the plastic minds of children"; "a pliant nature"

A synthetic material made from a wide range of organic polymers such as polyethylene, PVC, nylon, etc., that can be molded into shape while soft and then set into a rigid or slightly elastic form

DIY: rancilio silvia espresso machine and SSR

SSR= solid state relay. the thing with the red light and plastic cover - that acts like a relay but has no moving parts. a small DC voltage (5v) controls this. when this is on, the heating element is then turned on. a PID can control this very quickly (pulse it on/off) to keep the temperature very precise. the SSR is a $15 part. on the wiring, the 2 bundles (high voltage, top; control voltage bottom) are separately sheathed in heat/flame resistant material (found at local surplus store) ;) the red and white tubing parts are heat-shrunk to fit.

Droplet Set-Up

So I had requests to see my set-up and here it is. Not particularly professional looking, but a great deal better than my original set-up! Huge thanks to Bladerunner (Rob) who helped me with the whole thing :) It's soooo much easier and more stable now :D
