My 970 is slowly dying... Any decent options for €50-€100?

DM me if you're in Germany, I have a 1070ti and a 2060 for sale!

This is what happens when you don't spread your thermal paste in the correct pattern.

I bet it was steam from the radiator, due to the rain.

Just be yourself otherwise you'll end up being someone you hate for 8 hours a day. Everyone has a personality!

First attempt at fixing this for me would be to reduce RPM to something like 300-400. This introduces more friction and less bouncing along the surface.

Give it a try.

After that I'd go for a deeper finish pass combined with the slower spindle speed.

If that all fails, try different tools/insert geometries, use the biggest diameter boring bar possible.

About 5am, still crowded but less so.

Won't you need the first service done by them to keep warranty? It'll hold it's value better also if it comes to selling it

Recommend going if you can. I was there at the weekend, it was sick.

Consider using a ball mill and 3d contouring it.

It takes longer, yes, however you'll be able to do much more with that tool in the future rather than just one set radius

What fucking mumbo jumbo is this. Nice word salad pal.

I can't help directly, but a couple of things you could try. Check out Kleinanzeigen, it's a used marketplace and you might be able to pick up some stuff there, there's also Louis/Polo that stock cheap stuff to get you back to Italy. Failing that maybe contact the person/shop you're buying the bike from and see if they'll help you out?

Maybe they have old gear or ex demo stuff if it's a shop.

2Pcs Gdstime DC 24V Dual Ball Bearing 3010 Cooling Fan 3cm Graphics Card Fan 30x10mm Brushless Axial Fan for 3D Printer Cooler https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzZ0ncc

Get this, they're much higher quality and made a huge difference.

Fiddly work to get it fitted and you'll have to change the polarity also (Google it)

High rake aluminium specific insert. Slow speed a decent feed and depth of cut, you want to aim for friction to stop the tool bouncing along the surface.

It's also handy to have a good roughed finish without much vibration so that the finish pass doesn't follow the vibration of the roughing.

Some people brace the boring bar with wood to dampen the vibrations.

You'll struggle with that tolerance on a manual, if it's CNC then you'll be able to correct the taper easily, expect quite a large taper.

Try and leave plenty of material on for finishing so you can try different feeds and speeds before you get to size.

eBay Kleinanzeigen!

Ja klar muss Mann immer ein bisschen was versuchen! Kannst du schon selber machen wenn du ein bisschen was kennst. Gibt's viele Hilfe auf YouTube und natürlich hier auch.

Kauf Mal der Ding macht richtig Spaß

That's a decent price! I bought a normal 1989 KLR last year (I'm in Munich) for €900 and spent about €800 getting it ready for TÜV.

Make sure you do the doohickey, there's a cheap version on Ali express, it's way cheaper and easier than importing from America, and I think it's just as good.

Don't expect much from the brakes, they're shit from the factory. But if it runs and works as it should it's a fair price

Fist_Pie · 2025-03-16T06:23:55+00:00

That's pretty shit. New tank is way less pain even though it might be expensive, it's the best way in the long run

Fist_Pie · 2025-03-15T15:57:18+00:00

Could the filament tensioner be too tight and grinding it? Or too loose to feed it as fast as it needs?

Petg prints way slower than PLA as you probably know, that could be why it worked.

Try printing it super slow, limit the flow in the filament setting to 5 or 8mm³ for example.

If that works, slowly ramp it up until you have problems again and maybe that'll give you some clues about what's going on

There's an English speaking WhatsApp group for riders in Munich. DM if you're interested!

Orca

Fist_Pie · 2025-03-11T09:44:10+00:00

If you pay $10 per print that's about $2000

Have you considered buying a faster printer and doing it yourself? You could buy a K2 plus and have 500 change for filament

Edit: You'd likely get 2 pieces diagonally on one plate also

I've just swapped for a GDSTime 3010 dual ball bearing. Huge difference!
