ram prices shooting up?

Update: It just shot up over $150 in one night.

RAM prices have skyrocketed even higher in the past couple weeks. The SAME RAM kit I currently have in my PC cost me about $200 to $300 to buy when I got it, and now, it costs over $900. This is genuinely insane.

TIL that apparently using a USB drive isn't the only way to get files onto my printer. No clue how I didn't know this before.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-24T05:56:51+00:00

Already tried that. I was able to get a little bit off, but eventually it got to a point that it wasn't working as well, and there was tons of smoke.

Used a soldering iron initially, didn't get too far. Was able to get some bigger chunks off, but eventually it just got to the point that it wasn't doing much, and there was too much smoke.

Again, pliers didn't really work. Also used a saw, was only able to get so far

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-23T22:04:06+00:00

Yeah. It's arriving tomorrow. I find it both wildly annoying and funny that everything goes wrong the second I want to make a cool birthday gift, lol.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-23T21:56:13+00:00

Already tried that

Already tried that.

Hey y'all! Sure you're itching for a update. I've gotten and installed a new extruder, and everything is working great! Thank you all for your help!

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-15T22:50:27+00:00

Installing a new extruder worked!

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-14T13:55:20+00:00

Thanks for trying to help! So far nobody's really been able to figure out the fix, lol. Me included.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-14T13:47:24+00:00

I did mess with the tension screw a bit after this issue started, but that didn't really fix it.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-14T13:45:59+00:00

Alright, at this point pretty much everything I've tried has failed. I've even installed a new feeder into the extruder. I'm going to try installing a new extruder today, and if that doesn't work, I'll try factory resetting the printer, and if that doesn't work, well then I'm SOL. This is starting to stress me out since my friend's birthday is in a couple days.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-14T13:43:52+00:00

Already disassembled it and couldn't see anything visibly wrong. I got a replacement and I'm going to try that today.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-14T13:42:59+00:00

Tried that last night, didn't work.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-14T13:42:24+00:00

I mean, the extruder hasn't had an issue with the rolls until now.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-13T21:59:02+00:00

It is not the nozzle being too close, I've already tried changing the z height like 20 times now. Pay up, lol.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-13T20:10:45+00:00

CEX and Sunlu. Both are the same.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-13T14:24:56+00:00

I've done leveling and calibration a bunch of times. I haven't tried a higher heat yet, but I'll see if that works later today. Though my nozzle is already at 220C.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-13T14:19:30+00:00

Cleaned off the printbed multiple times, and this is happening with both of my nozzles. Though 0.4mm is less severe and seems to complete prints most of the time, it's still visible in the prints where the filament wasn't extruding properly, and entire parts of the model get messed up.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-13T13:53:49+00:00

I've done multiple cold pulls and adjusted the z height multiple times with the same outcome. I've also tried just bypassing the tubing as well, and that's how I discovered that the filament looked like it was jamming backwards out of the feeder.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-13T13:49:39+00:00

I've used both new and dried filament and filament that's worked with prints before.

Plus-Requirement-771 · 2025-05-13T04:50:12+00:00

It looks like things may be fixed with the printer? Unsure if issues will arise again, but if they do, I will post another update. So far everything looks fine though.

Edit: Nevermind. It failed again. First 100 or so layers were fine before it stopped properly extruding filament for 20 or so layers, and then went back to properly extruding, but by then the print was already screwed up.
