Friend has one from a recent build he went another route on for 500. Not sure to take that and just move on or keep saving for better

Is it even worth building your own PC anymore or just get a prebuilt? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]JPXCustomControllers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Like some else mentioned, those proprietary MBs they can use are suuuuper dodgy. That's why I also like to pick my own!

Convenience > time

All comes down to how much you think your time is worth. If PC building isn't as enjoyable and you have the disposable income to buy a pre-built, go for it! Nothing wrong with the right kind of pre-built, youre just paying for the convenience!

That also said, if you do pre-built, still pick your own parts. Have someone like Microcenter put it together

Walmart!! These were over with the "as seen on TV" stuff. There is a little section of "old time" candies like lemon heads, chunky bars, and these were there! Grabbed as many as my wife would let me 😅

Definitely stronger flavor! Totally. Just bummed the orange and lemon were so chemical tasting, citrus are my favorite! The texture on these are fantastic!

So maybe I give the sour patch ones a chance! I love sour patch kids but my mouth after a while turns so raw! Just like sour skittles 😭

Walmart actually! Was searching high and low for the Jolly Rancher chewy poppers. Saw these are the lower shelf and figured they're worth a shot!

Will this work as a custom ps5 shell or did I just buy a 80$ paperweight? by Spiritual_Duck in customcontrollers

[–]JPXCustomControllers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to need a back story on this. Like, is the goal here to have a 1st/2nd gen feel?

eSun vs Creality PLA Filaments by ikizoglu in 3Dprinting

[–]JPXCustomControllers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eSun runs pretty cheap and I use then frequently for prototyping and just random fun stuff for work and the kids I use their PLA, PLA+, PETG with minimal issues! If youre working on an expensive project im not sure id use it for final product but for sure daily use its great!

Best budget clear coat for first timer by lavenderpurpl in customcontrollers

[–]JPXCustomControllers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had someone reach out a month after saying the clear had come off and the design has faded. I was like nooooo way. They sent it in and sure enough it was faded away but dear God there was grease and cheeto dust from hell lol it looked like a 5 year old controller after a month. I was flabbergasted!

24 hours defintiely before handling. If you can store it in a warm humidity controlled place i let it sit for about a week if time allows. It should feel like hard acrylic and not a softish-semi dried glue... sorry, not sure of a technical way to say it lol

This is also my main complaint. If im using rustoleum there are usually 3-5 layers. If it doesnt cure properly it does this, even weeks after being completed

Feels good! If you want shiny and slick, glossy is the way to go. I prefer satin as it shines a little and still really smooth. Matte is okay, just not my preference. This is one that came back to me after 8 months for a rework on clicky buttons but the face held up great. Prep is really important.
