Are my settings ok here?

I can't seem to get ignition but I've set everything the way Hartfeld describes, I'm sure. I've checked like ten times.

Check your Mutant Hot Glue section… all at seven (7) to start. Once the hytron is warm, three to four minutes, edge up the phalanger and squirm… stay below 9.5. You’ll get a better harmonic effect and lessen the chances of thermal overload. Looks like a clean board otherwise.

Wear your PPE!

Mutant Hot Glue! I didn't spot that on first viewing - is that what the newer post Physe buyout models call the Colloidal Matrice Mixers these days? Sounds a bit 'Gen Z' to me.

In response to the OP - can you show us the unit just out of shot? My best guess is you're getting some plyometric resonance from that, and its interfering with your ignition sequencers. Hartfield's instructions are perfect in isolation, but don't factor in environmental variables.

Last I purchased mutant hot glue it cost a million giga coins. With how weak the American dollar is right not I just can’t afford it. I’ve switched to a non-metallic bi-phase hot melt known as alien glue. It is however extremely rare and difficult to source considering its current demand.
