Thanks for the video.  Two questions:

1. What happens to the micro plastic material that come off during drilling. Can't this damage the head?

2. BG music is good, what is it?? ;)

@hkollar1 The plastic swarf is prevented from getting to the print head because the sponge in the main chamber acts as a filter

the music is Bali (meditation mix) by Antaeus

Sorry to hear your having trouble. try soaking up the sponge leak with tissue paper

until it stops.

It might be due to over filling I only fill with a max of 6ml when cart is empty and less if it's not.

Hope this helps

I have a question. As I filled up the sponge compartment, if I would soak the sponge too much, the cartridge would start to drip ink. Wouldn't a hole at the bottom through the solid partition (it is the only logical alternative, nonetheless) exacerbate the dripping, as the chamber at right is sponge free, so the ink would dispose of a bigger pressure at the hole, for there is no sponge in the right hand chamber (as illustrated in your video) that would balance the pressure like in the left side?

@BGSorin

The modification I made was to copy the way 364xl cartridges are made, they use the rear chamber as a ink well and do not have any sponge in this compartment. If you refill to a max of 6ml when empty they seem to work ok.

if you are refilling 364xl carts you will only need to drill a fill hole to inject the ink as the hole through to the sponge already exists

Hope this helps Alan

Good work sir, be careful with that drill! What happens with the chip, any resetting to do? HP have 2 364 cartridges, make sure you folks buy the right one! Den in England.

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a way to reset the chip but the printer still works without resetting. If you find a way I would Love to know

@12POSEIDON12 The chip in 364, 564, 862 cartridges don't need resetting. When they show ink to be empty, just ignore.

@ahammans Thanks so much. Will try this out. Hope won't end up messing the cartridge.

and the blue one gives stripes during printing
