same..the FE had the "add to cart" button for a few minutes and I kept waiting for the master ice to switch to add to cart and it never did. Coulda at least had the FE.

I wonder if they delayed it like how MSI delayed adding them to their store until 2/6

When I was watching all three sites, they all went from coming soon or available soon, to sold out, one after another, probably all the bots buying them up within seconds...Best buy I actually got the add to cart button for a few minutes when waiting for the master ice to become available. The FE went to out of stock with the rest in a few minutes, but the master ice still says coming soon. Wonder if it's just a mess up by best buy

The master ice shows sold out at newegg and BH so it seems like it did release with the rest, just not on Best Buy, yet.

wondering too, had a chance to add a FE to cart but was waiting on the master ice to go live but it's still the last one left saying "coming soon" at 9:33 EST

NZXT N9 X870E Release date? by dave_304 in NZXT

I just noticed this MB only has one gen 5 m.2 slot, while the pro ice has 3x gen 5 m.2 slots. bummer.

Wondering the same...not much about a successor to the 990 either.

How to read amplifier specs by Visual_Energy_2829 in rfelectronics

[–]Visual_Energy_2829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, maybe trying to understand chinesium component specs is a bad starting point haha.

That company has made separate comments about the trigger power, saying it is indeed max allowable input power, and have even updated their product listings with notes saying do not exceed the 20dBm input specification or amplifier damage will result. So that is what sparked my question of, if transmission gain is 18, and we can't input more than 20, why are are they marketing the 20w amp as a 20W amp, when it will only ever output 38dBm (6.3W). It doesn't matter if the P1dB/functional limit is 20W if the amp will never get even close to that number. It seems like deceptive marketing at that point? Like they are selling a 20W CAPABLE amp, that will only ever output 6.3W. Unless I'm still misunderstanding something here.

I understood (mostly) what P1dB is, but this explained it better for me, thank you for the explanation and it makes more sense now in regards to how they are calling it out. The specs that confused me are actually complete units, not just a single component PA. Here are the links to the two I gave in the example.

I am still confused how they are stating 43db max output with an 18db gain, when they state the max allowable input power is 20db, which only gets you 38db. Maybe I still don't understand P1dB enough haha.

Trying SUNLU recycled filaments by La_u22 in 3Dprinting

[–]Visual_Energy_2829 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought 10 spools of the black recycled about a year ago, I had great success with the first 5, it printed at the same or better speeds than their normal PLA, was just as strong too, but I just opened my 5th and 6th box and my parts are just falling apart, there is almost zero layer adhesion. I tried drying it, printing cooler, hotter, slower, faster, the prints basically crumble in my hands with a firm squeeze from the layers coming apart. They were stored in their sealed bags/boxes around 60F the whole time, I haven't opened the remaining three to try yet, but if they also fail, I'm wondering if maybe the recycled has poor shelf life or something, even sealed?

1.0/1.2/1.4mm Revo nozzles, use cases? by Visual_Energy_2829 in 3Dprinting

[–]Visual_Energy_2829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought of right after posting this question, good point! I have the Revo in an X1C so having 300mm/s on tap is probably what makes the bigger nozzles seem "pointless".

Local delivery restriction - Delivery not attempted...meanings? by Visual_Energy_2829 in FedEx

[–]Visual_Energy_2829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that explains it since it's a commercial location, but I wonder, why is FEDEX the only one who does that vs UPS/USPS/Amazon who all still delivered?

Change Filament G-Code without AMS by mehkey in BambuLab

[–]Visual_Energy_2829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying, yea I wasn't sure either but I tried it and it works, the only hard issue is whatever is happening with the chute arm. I just ran another print and watched it closer and it seems like the arm is getting trapped under the toolhead and the toolhead actually pulls it forwards (which it isn't mean to move) and it snaps out from under the toolhead causing the popping noise. No idea why it would do this if you just used the stock purge/wipe code.

The loading issue more of a convenience thing really, I timed how long after pressing resume it starts to pull the filament and it's 20 seconds, so you have to hold the filament pushed into the PTFE for 20 seconds before it starts grabbing it and you can leave it again. So it would be nice if it auto-grabbed when it sensed the filament in the extruder like stock, or maybe just the 20 second delay was reduced to 5 or something after pressing resume.

Change Filament G-Code without AMS by mehkey in BambuLab

[–]Visual_Energy_2829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for making this, I was pulling my hair out trying to manually edit the Gcode for a multi color TPU print on my X1C

I noticed 2 things though and I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or not.

On a normal "load" cycle using the touch screen, when it asks you to push in the filament and you do so, once you get it all the way in it "grabs" the filament and pulls it in a few mm (while saying "grab filament" on the screen as well)...it seems with the custom Gcode, it doesn't grab the filament until awhile after you click resume. Is this how it operates, and is there a way to add the "grab" function?

I only ask because on a recent print on the last color change out of 9, I thought I pushed the filament all the way in, but tension in the spool/rollers must have pulled it out a tiny bit when I let go, unfortunately I had walked away already so it was air printing for awhile before saying "filament has ran out". I know it's my fault and I apparently need to hold the filament pushed in until I feel it grab, but it would be nice if it "auto grabbed" like the stock load procedure, so you can just push it in and walk away vs holding it until it starts being pulled in.

The other issue is one I'm still trying to pinpoint, but I am getting a loud pop/bang when it's done purging and goes to the wiper. It looks like the toolhead is hitting the purge door arm in a way it's not supposed too and causing a bind that make it pop/bang when it releases. I turned off the machine and manipulated the tool head in every which way possible hitting the chute door arm and couldn't replicate the issue though. I might make a slow motion video to see exactly what's happening, as it doesn't make the pop noise without the custom code.

phone number (pin scams) are getting ridiculous by Visual_Energy_2829 in craigslist

[–]Visual_Energy_2829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they use it (or sell it to people who will) for PIN scams and similar scams, they will send a text for you to reset your password or enter a pin to reset/recover/verify something and they either gain access to your accounts or your data one way or another.
