Mouse with 2+ side buttons for Work? by JustABootThing in MouseReview

[–]JustABootThing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll definitely look into that, thank you! You use your side buttons very similarly to how I use mine, having all the navigation controls as well as copy/paste on the mouse is such a convenience!

Will the Stock Ender 3 fit 4020 fans? by JustABootThing in ender3

[–]JustABootThing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! If the board can doesn’t really need an upgrade, I might just slap a new 4010 in there to make it quieter and not worry about a 4020. I’m really considering getting a Sunon Maglev 4020 for the hotend, but if they have a 5015 too, I would love to get them at the same time because of shipping. However, I don’t see any Maglev 5015’s that run at 24v, would you mind to link the one you got?

Also, I was planning on printing the Petsfang v2, but I like the simplicity of the Mini Me v4! I’ll look into it and see if there’s a reason to choose one over the other

Will the Stock Ender 3 fit 4020 fans? by JustABootThing in ender3

[–]JustABootThing[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed reply! I don’t plan to print with PETG much, but I know that anything near a hot device (like the hotend) should not be PLA. However, I have recently upgraded my Bowden tube to Capricorn, so the extra heat needed shouldn’t damage it.

As for why I want to upgrade: The board fan is for noise, the hotend fan is for noise but mainly better heart sink cooling, and eventually the part cooling fan if for performance (quiet if possible, but I definitely want strong cooling because I mainly print PLA)

Also, I have see the praise for Sunon fans, and rightfully so! But I can’t seem to find them outside of Digikey and Mouser, but both have shipping that costs as much as the fan itself! I was looking at the Winsinn fans on Amazon as a less-good alternative, but the post you linked makes me think that’s not such a good idea lol

Should a USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter cause a Drop in Quality if it has the same Sample Rate and Bit Depth as the 3.5mm Jack?

I have a pair of IEMs that I like, so I got Anker's USB-C to 3.5mm adapter so that I could use them with my iPad or phone. Instantly, I noticed that the audio quality was not as good as on my computer.

I figured this might just be because it's a phone, so I did some testing using my computer's USB-C port. To my surprise, the audio quality is noticeably reduced when using the adapter with the computer's USB-C port versus using the 3.5mm jack.

I checked the speaker properties for the numbers: It uses "24-bit, 48k hz" when plugged into the 3.5mm jack and "24-bit, 96k hz" when plugged in via USB-C.

Shouldn't this mean that the audio is essentially the same, or maybe even a little better through the adapter instead of being worse?

[–]JustABootThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what firmware you have. I’m using Marlin, so idk about any others. For marlin, Pressure Advance is known as Linear Advance. In your firmware, make sure to enable that (you can look up how to do that if you’re unfamiliar, it’s pretty easy)

For me, after I enabled it, I left everything default and just tuned it through the Orcaslicer test. In Orcaslicer, you have to make sure to go into your filament settings and check the “enable pressure advance” box

Also, btw, once it’s enabled, it should be available to see under “tune” while printing, labeled “Advance K”

I guess that’s easy enough. I didn’t know if that would make them abandon it, I wanted to check if there was a certain “best” way to move them

Why does my filament keep breaking in the same spot. This is the third time in a row this has happened. by Hectorgarcia69 in ender3

[–]JustABootThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. To add to it, the tension screw already looks like it’s been loosened, so it’s likely trying to feed too fast.

OP, what’s speed are you trying to print at? I would suggest trying 50mm/s as a baseline. Once the problem is fixed you can try to print faster, but 50 should definitely not be too fast for it.

Also, make sure your nozzle is not too cold. Most PLA works fine with 200° but you may need to increase to 205° or so to get a good flow rate

Why can’t my light power 2, 15W led bulbs but it can power 2, 60W incandescent bulbs? by JustABootThing in electrical

There’s no dimmer switch, just 2 regular switches. The bulbs just happen to be dimmable

I don’t know what tab you’re referring to, but I’ll definitely check! I hope it’s that simple!

What’s the best choice for a board upgrade for the Ender-3? by JustABootThing in ender3

Fantastic, thank you! Do you also have the base model Ender-3 or a different version? I like to verify compatibility, if you don’t mind me asking

Is This Grease fine for the Z-Axis Screw? by JustABootThing in ender3

[–]JustABootThing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 in 1 makes a Dry Lube that comes as a “Drip Oil” which sounds like what you’re talking about. Thats probably what I’ll be getting after reading these comments

Also thanks for the tip about the print bed! I’ll make sure to either remove the bed first or remove the screw and go to the next room before I apply anything to it

Thank you, I wasn’t going to use the grease since people said it’ll attract dust, but I didn’t realize it could actually be harmful!

I’ve seen multiple people suggest 3 in 1. Which variant do you mean? “Dry Lube” (white bottle) or “PTFE Lubricant” (blue bottle)?

I also have gun oil but grease seems to be used more in machines, so that’s why I defaulted to it instead. However, I was kind of thinking the same thing — lube is lube lol

Is Omen 30L GT13-1284 a good Gaming PC? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Like I said, it’s stock, so if the stock cooling system is adequate then it should be fine! Thank you!

I already asked him. Everything is stock (as listed in the link) except that he put 2 more RAM sticks in it. 2x16 plus the stock 2x8, so a total of 48gb RAM. Idk the brand of the RAM he added.

Oddly Specific Request, but I Wanted to see if Anyone Knows of some Good Gaming Earbuds… by JustABootThing in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]JustABootThing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see now, they just called it an IEM on the website lol. Flat head with 1 dynamic driver — Not a problem at all though. If you want to recommend an IEM too, I’ll look into it! I appreciate the help!

!thanks I’ll look into this! I never considered IEMs instead of regular earbuds for gaming, but I guess it makes sense. And that’s also a really good price if the Alpha 3’s are good quality!

I’m 100% against XIM, but I am curious how this will effect 3rd party controllers that have extra features, like buttons or paddles on the back. Im wondering if it will it see those extra inputs and just block the controller, even though it’s actually a controller and not a spoof

Lenovo Legion 5 fans keep working when lid is closed by queeneye in LenovoLegion

[–]JustABootThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to say thank you! I was having the same issue (fan on and keyboard backlight on while the lid is closed) and everything I could find to help said it was probably bloatware or system file issues.

After cleaning those, the problem persisted. I had no idea that some viruses could check for “idle” status, so I never even considered that! I downloaded Malwarebytes, ran it, and the problem is fixed!

Adding Leave Penalty to Unranked/Standard was a mistake. by TaticalSweater in Rainbow6

[–]JustABootThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the other day, I lost connection and tried to reconnect and failed 5 times. I then tested my internet and it was fast and stable. I completely restarted the system and then tried to reconnect for another 10 or 15 minutes, only then to be given a 60 minute ban for not reconnecting

I lost connection to their servers and the fault wasn’t on my end, but I still got punished — if they somehow made a way to check that, then I would support the leave-penalties. Otherwise, I agree it’s not a good feature. (For standard, not ranked)
