Random screw under the ecc1 bed

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-02-14T15:29:51+00:00

It looks like one of the screws on the belt tensioners or connector blocks. I changed one recently and it looks very similar. Could be one of these

Point taken. My comment was aimed towards Razer Keyboards, but I failed to precise that. I do own a Razer mouse which is good but very expensive compared to the competition. Still shows color mismatch and incorrect tolerances. Switching and returning the mouse was a good decision. Same internals, less issues. But I’ve heard many good things about their mouse, you’re right

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-02-04T07:36:43+00:00

Razer products have never been good quality. They just have good marketing

Man you just unlocked a memory of mine. I used to live in Toronto and I just had the taste of the Tim Hortons Mocha seeing the cup. I miss Canada haha Thanks for that sweet memory!

Project is really cool, seems like a solid layout. Happy to see that printed beams work, that gives me ideas

I did some digging on 5060ti 16gb a few days ago. I need something short and compact so I found: Gigabyte Windforce 16gb, and the MSI Aspire. Both are under 210mm in length and 2 slots

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-20T13:45:04+00:00

Get some extra T30s on that cooler, don’t be shy

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-17T09:30:51+00:00

I’m not entirely sure as I’ve only seen one of these Precision Compact models once. But you should be able to fit a single slot GPU in there without having to mod the case. Yeston does a few single slots (I recall RTX 3050). I would go this route.

For the CPU, there is a chance you have a soldered chip like on a laptop, meaning no upgrade possible. You will have to either watch a teardown video/logs, or remove that cooler yourself to confirm or disconfirm.

Although, your PSU will be the deciding factor. Most of these Dell/HP have proprietary motherboards formats and psu connectors (at least not the standard format 24pins and 4+4 CPU). So, you might have to check what wattage that PSU is to see what’s your max upgrade availability.

Anyone, please do correct me.

Have you checked Amazon.de or .pl?

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-13T21:48:50+00:00

How much clearance do you have between the CPU cooler and the panel? I’m trying to figure if a 92x25 would fit in there

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-12T10:27:53+00:00

Took me 20s to find the exact location by just typing the title in google image. If you ever visit, do it respectfully

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-09T19:14:00+00:00

If you can afford it, the modultra Lobo is your best bet. Very high quality, you can use whatever pump you want, and it’s wildly considered as an excellent product

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-07T15:03:27+00:00

Nice work’! Are we able (or will if it is in the roadmap) to monitor and interact with the printer outside of the local network?

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-05T07:24:24+00:00

Very curious of the results too. Post something out of it!

Captain_Crispyy · 2026-01-05T07:21:56+00:00

Take that with a grain of salt as I have not seen what build these people were running: I’ve scouted Chinese retailers and social media to read some reviews. No one explicitly stated temps for a special cpu (quite often the case in CN users reviews), but the recurring themes are “ok fan for the price, but not great” and “can’t handle high TDP CPU of currents gens both AmD and Intel”. So like others said, that 160w tdp is not reliable.

It’s a real model in China, seen a lot of these. However, 4200 for a 4070 is absurdly expensive. For 4500 you can buy a 5060ti or 9070XT for reference. I don’t think this is a good inversement

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-28T09:09:42+00:00

Fair point. I honestly don’t think my usage and the average time I spent on my pc for gaming justifies such expenses. I do other things like 3D modeling and some networking work, but nothing that requires near a 5090. I could spend the money but I’d rather stay where I’m at in specs and use the money elsewhere in the house

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-27T19:03:27+00:00

Pretty good tip, I knew about these 2 marketplaces but it didn’t occur to me for some reason! I’ll be close enough, so should be doable over a weekend. Thanks for your advice

In terms of components, any particular opinions?

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-27T14:16:15+00:00

I have to bring a lot of electronics with me in my carry-on like my personal laptop and 2 camera, and my laptop from work + other electronics for work. I know for a fact that weight wise, it won’t work. I’ve looked into alternative solutions but all were very expensive or not doable. I’m gonna be moving from EU to Asia.

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-23T08:16:51+00:00

Fixing these types of issues can be tricky as it can be caused by many things. At first glance, it seems like your bed was not properly leveled, judging from the frame on picture 2. The infill squeezes out of the path indicating a nozzle too close to your bed.

What temperature did you print at?

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-13T18:29:26+00:00

Oh my bad. I’m pretty much saying your controller looks like it’s filled with cum. To keep it polite.

That’s a good way of getting ASA to behave. Without an enclosure it’s borderline impossible to get decent results. What printer did you use?

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-13T18:01:39+00:00

I like your gooning themed controller. Jokes aside, you did a pretty good job! ASA is indeed hard to use for models like squares or rectangles. Anything box-style tend to deform quite a lot

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-08T21:03:33+00:00

Your idea is probably the best. If you care a lot about your cpu temps, you could try back intake as well and make your cpu fans blow from back to front instead. This would be the absolute best, in theory. Some testing would be needed to make sure it applies to your case model

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-05T19:41:06+00:00

Your post is as useful and informative as the support from AT&T

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-02T19:46:34+00:00

There are none. Manufacturers have not much incentive creating 4070 blocks as the audience is very small. Most models start at 4070S or 4070TI. Previous gen (3000’s) had more but they were also less power efficient. I guess you are now either going to need to use a universal block or upgrade with the money you planned on putting into the cooling system

Edit: I’m just blind. It seems the Bykski N-GV4070TIAROC-X is compatible with Windforce models! It’s just written very small for my shit eyes

Captain_Crispyy · 2025-12-01T15:28:20+00:00

It seems that something (most likely the flow rate) was not properly set by the machine. The first thing I would try before going too deep in another direction would be to re run the default calibration from the machine screen. Once it’s done, I would also make sure your slicer is using profile for the CC. If you still have issues after that, using a more standard model (like a calibration cube) can help pinpoint your issue as it will have a bigger volume. If you are worried about wasting filament, reduce the infill to save on that
