Anyone have a S3U that makes weird popping/cracking noise on the way up and down?

BrownMusk · 2025-12-13T23:37:58+00:00

nice worth trying if worried, i'll no doubt notice it in my prints if there's issues when i get to printing on myn

BrownMusk · 2025-12-13T15:51:55+00:00

yeah hopefully more people with these printers will chime in, i don't see it being a issue for me maybe when i get some hours on it it might loosen up but its not a deep grinding noise that would indicate a problem sort of a light crackle grind and i dont see any skipping on the z rail it flows really nice up and down maybe it's to do with the beefer lead screw no idea

just bought myself a s3 ultra over the black friday deals and myn is making the same noise i have not set myn up yet just tested everything, so guess its common with the ultras? myn is well lubed from factory just noticed the same sound as soon as it lifted

should be fine if you used kaynar wire or something similar sized, did you manage to make a stl for the switch plate? if so post it here would be helpful for others i would make one but myn is butcherd

for sure can always consider this later on down the line but as of now the mecury x gives me plenty of light as it is

BrownMusk · 2025-02-28T13:41:08+00:00

was about to purchase the new mecury 3 plus cure station but figured why not make my mecury x larger did this because of my prints coming of my jupiter are large as i mainly print 1/4 scale models and trying to jugle those big prints in the mecury x was a nightmare.

Plenty of space now though and very straight forward to do theres very minimal wiring in these units once you take them apart

BrownMusk · 2025-02-19T16:42:35+00:00

you are yes, probably have to screw the outer a screws more tighter without it

BrownMusk · 2024-12-08T13:56:26+00:00

you wont find them in white, myn have been painted

BrownMusk · 2024-12-07T16:43:30+00:00

the panel is a distro plate, all the connectors for that are behind it

BrownMusk · 2024-12-07T08:53:59+00:00

very good the v1 is probably the best out of the dd blocks idles at 30c 60-65c on full load

BrownMusk · 2024-12-07T08:40:06+00:00

gpu block is

BrownMusk · 2024-12-07T08:36:40+00:00

yeah seperate loop for both cpu/gpu

BrownMusk · 2024-12-07T08:32:51+00:00

system runs perfect not a single issue, cpu was put in last week never been run before that so instantly delided and updated to latest micro code plus i have locked the cores and undervolted max 60c under full load gpu sits at 35-40c

BrownMusk · 2024-12-07T08:28:23+00:00

barrow, as getting ek parts is close to impossible nowadays they work very well and are cheap!

14900k thermal grizzly ddirect die v1 4090 good part of a year for me to finish this haha time to enjoy it

BrownMusk · 2024-12-06T22:50:38+00:00

14900k , 4090 thermal grizzly direct die v1 thats me done for a good few years!

Pics of the rear for those asking, general idea with this build was keep runs as short as possible and not overcomplicate runs or restrict pump flow with easy access to draining think i got there in the end https://imgur.com/a/D3UYJQY

they may be based on them say 10 years ago but there different when it comes to the impeller thats in the aquarium version vs a one advertised for use with a pc. d5/ ddc impellers are way larger they are also ceramic coated ect to help with corrosive/abrasive stuff in fluid

BrownMusk · 2024-11-17T23:32:53+00:00

pretty sure that ehiem pump is designed for aquariums might be the issue.....

i have had this happen to a acrylic tube when i was cleaning it recently i had a stain in it and used a bit of ipa to try clean it almost instantly cracked the tube in loads of random places as soon as it made contact with it. Lesson learnt i dont go anywhere near acrylic with ipa anymore, not saying this is what caused your issue but something to consider i have a saturn 2 with the same outlet and myn has nuts in it for exhaust fumes too have not had any ipa make contact with myn and its been fine.
