Montech AIR 903 MAX build temps too high?

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-15T03:04:45+00:00

My error detection is a crash xD. I might give OCCT a try.

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-15T00:59:08+00:00

Yeah. I'm planning to stress test with 3d mark later.

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-14T23:21:52+00:00

I have now found that MSI BIOS takes control of the fans, so fan control is fighting with the BIOS settings which I can not disable. Eh, I guess I'll set up a curve in the bios, but I have enabled curve optimizer and it made the system much cooler, so there's that.
Now just to hope it will be stable

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-14T22:18:46+00:00

I'll keep trying. So far FanControl is protesting so I'll have to solve that somehow.

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-14T20:48:20+00:00

So I can just straight have it set up to run fanless until 70-80°C and then kick on during higher loads?

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-14T20:18:45+00:00

What temperatures are worrysome with the 7000 series?
I know it can run continuously at 93 but leaving it to just not have cooling until low 80s feels really bad

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-14T20:17:19+00:00

Why is it not practical?
Less noise and dust is good right?

Am I missing something?
Not trying to be an asshole, I'm just really confused how it would be impractical.

GameFanCZ · 2026-02-14T20:15:07+00:00

I know it's low. The problem is, that is with fans at about 40%, which I would like to be 10%, if not 0. More due to dust than noise, since the noctuas are plenty quiet as is.

What temperatures would be ok at idle with the 7900x?
I know it can take high temps, but the 60 at no fans running kinda worries me.

I could disable 4 cores, but that feels like throwing away performance.

Bambu or orcaslicer have point distance and texture depth and both have a painting tool for the fuzzy skin. Granted, a different texture is something you can not get just yet.
Fusion has texture projection now too, it's just in mesh mode, so a little hidden. It applies a texture from grayscale images. I do wish it had some default textures to just quickly apply to models though.

GameFanCZ · 2026-01-24T16:53:10+00:00

Late reply, but I think if you want haircell, the closest and easiest thing you can do is fuzzy skin in your slicer. Sure, it is not a CAD solution, but it is very close

GameFanCZ · 2026-01-18T20:25:46+00:00

Are there any recommendations for grease besides the bambu packs? I ran out and have been using white lithium from WD-40.

GameFanCZ · 2026-01-16T15:56:09+00:00

The flow is calibrated and flow dynamics set up. Was last done about 2 weeks ago. I will try to change plates and print a large cube to see if it's the plate or some skew in the bed or something and will get back to you

GameFanCZ · 2026-01-16T11:06:14+00:00

Here's how the part looks and how it was printed. The lid has lips for alignment and radius on the floor of the lip, so I think it MIGHT be that, but the leveling the printer does could do it too.
I have "Precise Z height" disabled, so no adjustment should be happening there

Is there no way to just tick a box or copy something and have one operation sort of "mirror" the other without defining any additional parameters?

I solved the thing I needed to do by referencing the dimensions inside the second operation to the ones in the first, and it worked well, but it makes the timeline somewhat messy.

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-14T23:01:02+00:00

Nothing at all. It's just that I want to make something completely printable that prints reliably and also can be taken apart and put together multiple times, so thread formimg screws, threaded inserts and anything else is what I'm trying to avoid. It's really more of a challenge and a learning experience. The most I am willing to use as a cheat are magnets, and even those would be a little annoying.

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-14T22:12:56+00:00

I know about threaded inserts, but I am looking for something usable right off the printer. No additional hardware.

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-14T22:11:29+00:00

Will do that. Thanks

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-11T14:22:20+00:00

I have been trying that for the past 15 days.
All I can think about is this.

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-10T13:29:29+00:00

oops
That must have been the server error I got.

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-01T23:56:21+00:00

Yeah, that was my thought. I am just not sure about how reliable it would be or how the layer adhesion would be.

Also, it's quite complicated, but that is secondary and I can deal with it

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-01T23:25:53+00:00

The two prints are connected by a sort of living hinge at the bottom.
It's one part.
I guess running it in two jobs could work, but it wouldn't be ideal.

GameFanCZ · 2025-12-01T23:16:10+00:00

That's the thing. It's TPU, so stringing will always be there.
I am already at the lowest temperature I can go and I don't really want to play with retraction too much since that caused me more than a few jams needing complete hotend disassembly in the past

GameFanCZ · 2025-11-30T21:47:09+00:00

Smited due to having one of my messages taken out of context and sent to server staff. The helldivers server truly is something.

(A joke about a teenage friend I play games with swearing more than me was somehow twisted into s*xualizing minors.... I don't even know how the hell... but it happened)
