    Frame Work 16 AMD Advantage

    Just finished watching the release video for the Frame Work 16 on YT and decided to pre-order one. I've always wanted a modular laptop and this one finally comes with all the features I've wanted so I pulled the trigger. Shame I have to wait until Q4 but it'll be worth the wait. (Announcement...

    Another Ender 3 S1 post

    Mine arrived this morning so I assembled it, leveled the plate, ran an auto level, and then set my Z Offset and started printing parts. Haven't calibrated e-steps or PID Tuned or printed configuration cubes or anything like that. X Axis wheels have some detentes in them from the thing sitting...

    The Extruder for the CR6 Max is crap they said...It breaks easily and is hard to service they said...upgrade it they said...

    So I did. I got the gray one on Amazon everyone mentions and installation went very smoothly. However, now it doesn't print large parts. It prints small ones (kinda) but large parts are unsuccessful...to the point of being candidates for composting... I did he upgrade, did the e-steps script...

    So who got 3D Printing stuff from Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

    I picked up some more filament, an Exacto Knife set, some small files, and an extruder upgrade to replace the stock one on my CR6 Max. Anyone else score some decent stuff?

    Windows 11 never combine labels fix

    So, evidently Win 11 removes the ability to set the option to never combine labels* on your task bar. Is there any word on if/when that feature will be restored? * Combine labels means that when you have multiple windows open of the same program you see only 1 icon on the task bar for...

    SSD Lite

    Ordered (4) SK Hynix 500GB SSDs to use for caching in my new NAS. After receiving the NAS I found that 2 of the SSD slots were for U.2 SSDs so I ordered 2 U.2 drives leaving me with 2 spare SK Hynix SSDs. I decided to shuck one for the hell of it since there are 2 I don't need now and found that...

    QNAP TS-h973AX caching

    So I decided to replace my old QNAP NAS to a QNAP TS-h973AX and I noticed some differences between the old and new. The new one has the same physical layout of 3.5" and 2.5" in a 5+4 configuration... On the old NAS I used five 8TB HGSTs in RAID 5, and I used 4 Samsung 512GB SSDs as cache (NAS...

    Looking for spacers from alternative material

    I have a Creality CR6 Max and I removed the bed to add insulation. Noticed that the spacers were deformed, either from being screwed down too tightly or from heat cycling. Or both.

    Creality CR-6 Max Initial Impressions

    Received my CR6 Max a couple days ago and got it assembled yesterday morning. CONS: I noticed that the cable for the extruder and hot end is positioned in a way that it can (and does) rub against the filament on the spool. Control Box fan is loud. As in I can hear it all throughout my...

    Threadripper 5000 mobo support speculation

    I heard the new Threadrippers will drop at some point in the next 3-4 months so I was wondering if anyone has heard about any new threadripper boards coming out. I'm leaning heavily in that direction since I need the extra PCIe lanes for my nvme adapter card, but I don't want to purchase a...

    Creality CR10 S4 Mobo and Firmware Replacement...

    So...We had a power hit the other day. As a result, the motherboard of my CR-10 S4 is fried. (as in I watched as copious amounts of the magic smoke left the control box.) I connected the control box of my other CR-10 (the 300x300) to it to verify the steppers and other items are functional(they...

    It was at this very point in my last build...

    that I realized why I bought the O11 Dynamic XL after buying the O11 Dynamic. There's simply not enough room for the build I want. Meh... I guess I'll head to Amazon tomorrow to find a new case. Any suggestions?
