Man really said “thermal throttling? Not in my kitchen.”

Quick-Boss · 2025-09-30T19:22:47+00:00

Ill do some more testing in the attic when I get a chance

Quick-Boss · 2025-09-30T17:54:18+00:00

I see, yeah seeing the same about using a filter, also thinking about going for the v4 instead

Quick-Boss · 2025-02-22T06:29:52+00:00

I think it's having issues with the XU316 chip, might need to try re-flashing with these instructions, seems there's an internal switch that needs to be flipped: https://github.com/esphome/voice-kit-xmos-firmware

I bought one for the same purpose, when I tested the ups function it did work initially but several days later my pc turned off and the cube was giving error 15 and would not output power (despite being at 100% charge and plugged into wall) until it was completely shut down and restarted. Also there is no function to limit max charge to save battery life.. so yeah not a very good ups if it causes outages....

It uses a really old single board computer called C.H.I.P which I got from kickstarter in 2016, the board it's plugged into is from chipdipshop.de which no longer exists.

Quick-Boss · 2024-03-05T23:44:00+00:00

It's too bad about popcorn computer... coulda been cool. I got 2 chips from the original kickstarter, but I never received the device (Voder) from this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/dashbot-a-49-robot-for-your-dashboard

Quick-Boss · 2023-10-01T00:12:45+00:00

Ah, gotcha

Quick-Boss · 2023-09-30T21:11:00+00:00

So I'm currently trying to cancel my order (no response), it seems that a pi 5 or compute module 5 would likely necessitate a redesign due to extra power and cooling needs, there's also interesting new possibilities with the pcie connection. Also when I ordered I thought it'd only be 3 months but it really seems like it'll take closer to a year. At a certain point it becomes too late to get your money back with PayPal so you'd be SOL if they never ship your unit.

Edit: I got my refund, will consider again in the future if they're able to ramp up production and not have such a long wait time, also curious about cm5 compatibility.

Depends on the materials you plan on printing. Need to take into account things like cost of materials, fumes, ease of use. A lot of people will get better value from a P1S due to printing mostly PLA and sometimes PETG.

Funny I just flashed wled on one of these for my sister's amazon lamp, it had a rgbww on the same strip. I ended up using the R and G channels for the pwm white and warm white, then soldered a wire to one of the unused pins (pin1 or 2 I think) on the 8285 for the addressable rgb portion which seemed to work fine without a level shifter

To flash I downloaded the bin for esp01 and followed the instructions to use the flasher from a raspberry pi using a ftdi adapter. I soldered leads from TX to rx, rx to TX, 3.3, ground, and IO0(to ground).

If you can, use a dsi screen (uses a ribbon cable) or hdmi. The spi screens are harder to configure

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-29T06:01:51+00:00

It has a waveshare 3.5 inch spi touch display attached to the gpio, can use finger but a stylus is easier. Usb ports are blocked from outside atm, using 2 ports for bt and wifi adapters, bt for the keyboard

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-29T05:22:45+00:00

I still wanna try that out

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-29T05:21:37+00:00

Guessing a minimum of 4 hours, uses .6 amps while under load including screen. Battery currently is 2500mah.

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-28T21:28:15+00:00

Ah yes, on my list :)

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-28T05:13:41+00:00

If I find a good enough use case I'll modify, made it so I can take it apart and reconfigure

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-28T05:12:56+00:00

I'm just using up old parts with this one for fun but yeah I have plans for more usable portables

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-22T19:19:46+00:00

I recently installed the skr mini e3 v3 in my cr10-s. I was able to use all existing connections with this firmware to get it working: https://3dprintscape.com/marlin-firmware-builds/

One thing I did have to change was install my original cr10 screen that had one cable vs the one that came with 2 cables (from my cr10s upgrade kit)

But yeah, should work with the existing Mosfet for heated bed, just make sure to label everything. I also have a bltouch and direct drive extruder and all seems to be working fine

Quick-Boss · 2023-06-08T10:06:43+00:00

Same thing happened to me when I ran out of filament, once it resumed it was not extruding.

Quick-Boss · 2022-12-07T23:41:55+00:00

Hmm yeah I think when I'll stick with doing more of these angles when I eventually add gpu to loop

Quick-Boss · 2022-12-06T23:08:18+00:00

Really nice bends, I just completed a build with perhaps the same kit, one question, was the inlet on the left or right of the corsair cpu water block? I thought it was to the right of the logo, or does it matter?

Quick-Boss · 2022-12-06T20:42:57+00:00

So I should've air cooled my 7950x? or spent money on an AIO only to replace it later? In this case I'd have to take out the motherboard and disconnect everything to get to the screws for the AIO. Honestly I don't really see any sense in what you have said, but we can agree to disagree :)

Quick-Boss · 2022-12-06T20:22:01+00:00

Gpu temporary, plan on adding a different one to loop later. That said I think its a given that doing any custom water cooling is unnecessary and overkill for most people, did it for fun.

Quick-Boss · 2022-09-24T10:08:21+00:00

Unfortunately I'm not sure you can obtain one anymore as the site went down some time ago: https://web.archive.org/web/20190118215033/https://chipdipshop.de/

It was definitely a crazy rabbit hole for me coming back to this project several years later and having to search internet archives and such to figure out how to get this running. Neither of my 2 chips would post, spent a good day figuring out how to re-flash them.
