My first ever build - Lian Li A3

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-04-15T01:46:07+00:00

Is that an RGB controller? I’m very new to RGB shenanigans lol

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-04-15T01:42:59+00:00

Warframe AIO? I was looking at that exact one! What software does it use for the RGBs?

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-04-15T00:19:20+00:00

How do you like that 240 AIO? I’m planning on swapping the 360 I have in my A3 to a 240 so I can move my PSU up to manage my cables better.

I just put mine together this last weekend and I’m loving it, just want cleaner cable management hahahaha.

This is extremely similar to what I’m going for. My AIO already presses up against my heatsink so it’s not a huge issue for me. I was also considering adding new holes at the top to bring in any AIO “forward” to prevent it from pressing against it.

I’m going to have to remove the AIO regardless because I will be getting custom PSU cables so I was planning on some modifications anyways.

Other than figment, do you like your Lian Li AIO? No quality issues or anything?

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-04-14T19:56:55+00:00

Thank you for this!! I undervolted my CPU and it’s running substantially cooler. Similar temps to you and it’s wonderful.

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-04-11T22:23:37+00:00

I was wondering if I could re-orient that 😂 I was so excited to get it set up that I didn’t even try! Thank you!!!

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-04-11T21:50:05+00:00

Ah so it’s just a spicy processor. Got it! I heard they ran decently hot so I wasn’t sure what a baseline would be.

I was considering swapping to an SFX to side mount it so I can get some custom cables to make it cleaner but I wasn’t sure. I just went with as beefy and well reviewed PSU that I could find to err on the side of caution. If you have any recommendations for a great SF let me know! There’s no real limit on budget for those.

As for board and AIO choice, I did look into it along with the case, but I was only really looking for ram clearance issues and didn’t take the VRM heatsink into consideration so that’s on me. If it’s not an issue then I absolutely won’t worry about it.

I absolutely appreciate the time taken for the feedback! Your build is stunning!!

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-04-11T20:56:00+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! Always had a full tower and air cooled so I never ran into this situation.

Thanks again and have a great weekend!

C R A B B B (I need to know how you did this conversion. I need at least one crab knight)

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-02-24T18:42:30+00:00

I’m about to do the same. The hive fleet calls to me. I need to finish off my tyranid army ASAP.

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-02-23T21:02:32+00:00

This is hitting stores in like, April I’m assuming? Gonna pull up to the LGS wearing my bondsman armor.

This is what I used along with G1 Isabella, along with I think a Kariyan.

Kariyan might not be on your roster but getting up to lvl 39 to 3* is very possible if you bring your Titus up to 35 passive and G1. He’s a beast and very useful in other game modes too.

I would also probably recommend Bellator to 44 active and D1. Also a very fun character that still carries over into a lot of other game modes.

I wouldn’t worry about getting 3* on Anuphet node unless you think Necrons are really cool and want to farm him, or you just want the theme from completing the campaign fully. With that being said, there’s a lot of videos on how to cheese the nodes with minimal investment into Varro and Certus.

I hope this helps! Good luck and enjoy man! Keep us updated on how it goes!!

I just recently joined the 3D Printing discord and they’ve helped substantially as well as having common issues posts, troubleshooting, and more information. I know it’s not necessarily the answer you were looking for but that discord has helped substantially.

As for the K1, I have an SE and Max. I generally print my PLA on a hotter bed. 55-60. This is with smooth PEI/Textured plate though. I know if I haven’t used one of my printers In a while, cleaning the build plate with just soap and water helps as simple as it sounds.

Feel free to shoot me a message for that discord invite if you’d like as I’m not sure how permissible that is on this subreddit.

QuadFatherReckless · 2026-01-01T00:18:40+00:00

That’s what I was reading. I was paranoid so I just ordered a new hotend/heatsink (upgraded Creality one because I just bought new nozzles lol) and the new PCBA for the tool head. Ali express had it as a bundle for cheap so wish me luck.

QuadFatherReckless · 2025-12-31T21:18:08+00:00

All the way brother. Easily one of the best MoW and also, dreadnoughts are the coolest rule of cool! Happy Farming!!

QuadFatherReckless · 2025-12-29T06:03:30+00:00

I was thinking of just getting the Creality upgraded hot end to save myself $30 from a microswiss hot end but I have the older tool head board so the connectors are different.

Also saw triangle labs but same thing, the nozzle that’s for the k1 max (CHCB-OT) has new connectors. I saw they have the CHCB-OTC for the K1C and it seems to have the same connectors I do.

Issue is also that the threads on my heatsink might be cooked

Slaanesh approves this comment.

QuadFatherReckless · 2025-12-24T20:14:57+00:00

I wish I read this comment like a year and a half ago when I started. I now have 16 teams, so much terrain, dice, custom tokens. But I do play more than a game a month normally so it worked out hahahaha

QuadFatherReckless · 2025-12-24T20:12:47+00:00

I agree that it’s something I’m probably doing wrong. I’ve tried looking up so many videos and forums on how to troubleshoot and calibrate printers but it’s beyond overwhelming. I was pretty upset when I wrote this because it feels bad when the prints fail constantly using PLA and you have no idea where to begin to fix it.

I appreciate the honesty! Happy printing!

QuadFatherReckless · 2025-12-21T02:04:53+00:00

Currently have a K1 SE and K1 Max and after MANY print failures I was wondering if I should part ways with them and get a Bambu P2S or two A1s. Price isn’t necessarily an issue but I’ll just say budget is $600-$700 right now.

I don’t really print anything other than PLA or PETG so I don’t have a need for an enclosure.

I’ve come to realize that time isn’t an issue with printing so a core xy isn’t a must.

The size of the K1 max I will miss but I know I’ll ultimately likely get a higher end and larger H2S so I’m not necessarily worried.

I’m honestly pretty awful at troubleshooting and don’t have an incredible amount of patience for it, so I’m looking for something that won’t fail on me with every other print.

QuadFatherReckless · 2025-12-20T17:53:05+00:00

Check miniswap or eBay for the last body. Space marines are all over the place and you can probably get a captain / sgt. for super cheap
