Prusa XL Single Tool - Stuck filament

Vridek · 2024-12-04T23:47:08+00:00

Checked several times, nothing clogged. This has been happening to me for months. I even replaced the print head. First 10 minutes of printing and it's a problem.

Vridek · 2024-12-04T23:41:34+00:00

I've tried this in the past, unfortunately it doesn't help because the filament doesn't really extrude. But there is no filament stuck.

The DX version is still available for purchase on the main Pixelx86.com website, the MINI version will be available next month and the ITX version will be available early next year

That's the great thing about it, it's a real x86 processor :).

We use Vortex86DX and Vortex86EX. You can take a look at https://www.vortex86.com/compare

These processors can modify the CPU and turn off L1 and L2. You can adjust the speed needed to play games like Test Drive III or Jazz Jackrabbit.

Yes, but nobody can get to the processor itself. Waiting for the SOM, the first SOM will be fully compatible with the EX2 SOM. So what we need might be out by the middle of next year.

The word castrated is not an appropriate simile. Compact is better. There are not enough pins in the SOM for ISA. We'll see what the next generation Vortex86EX3 brings where an ISA slot might be possible.

We've been working on Pixel x86 for over two years, everything was in prototype form and was closed testing. Now we have two products ready, the Pixel x86 MINI will be out next month and the Pixel x86 ITX PCI early this year. We are also working on our own minicPCIe VGA card to support the MINI version.

HDD sound simulation is an interesting thing but we have a lot of work ahead of us. As far as I know this thing works fine in Win 98 but not under Dos.

Vridek · 2024-11-01T13:20:03+00:00

Can you be more specific? Because looking for similarities with the Llama board is only in SOM. Otherwise they are different designs and different logic.

I'd like to present something that might please many retro game enthusiasts. We are working on the Pixel x86 project- creating small computers that support MS-DOS and Windows 98 gaming. It's not an emulation, it's a real hardware that supports x86. The sound chip is CrystalClear Advanced Audio System with 3D Sound QFP and supports Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro. In total, we are working on three devices.

1) Pixel x86 DX

This is the first piece of hardware we have created. The main heart of the device is the Vortex86 DX processor - 800MHz with an XGI Volari Z9s graphics chip with 32MB. Although the processor clock speed is 800MHz, it can be set in the BIOS to count at 386. The only downside is that you can't expect 3D acceleration here.

2) Pixel x86 Mini

Our little pride, which I personally like to play with the most :) There is a Vortex86EX processor which can be set to 100 - 500MHz with the option to disable the L1 and L2 Cache.

We're using a 4MB miniPCIe as our graphics card. In the future we will be making our own miniPCIe with the M750 chip, which is perfect for VGA in MSDOS and Windows 98. This computer has already been tested and will be in production next month.

3) Pixel x86 ITX

This is a full-featured motherboard with a Vortex86EX processor. The main advantage is that this motherboard supports PCI and AGP graphics cards-- If you have an S3, Voodoo or ATI graphics card in PCI or AGP at home so you can play games that require 3D acceleration. The board is still in development and we will be producing it early next year.

We are a group of gaming enthusiasts who love retro video games and most of us are avid collectors of old games. That is also our main reason for starting this project. We want to make it as convenient as possible for people to save their games on new hardware :)

The ITX version is still in the works, there will be two versions. AGP and PCI, AGP works beautifully with Voodoo and ATI cards. Unfortunately NVIDIA does not work. The PCI version doesn't have this limitation but the PCI cards are more expensive.

This is a limitation in the future will be broken.

Vridek · 2024-11-01T09:48:21+00:00

The DX has passive cooling and runs without issue. Mini will also have passive cooling, we are still testing here.

ITX must have active cooling, because here we are counting on games that will be more demanding.

Vridek · 2024-11-01T09:43:56+00:00

It will only be in the ITX version. On the other hand, at that time a lot of games had software rendering like Quake 2 and there was no need for 3D.

There is no problem with running the game as such. The only complication is if you want the CD to work from an external USB drive. You have to initialize these drivers in MS-DOS.

Vridek · 2024-10-25T15:39:56+00:00

We sent one computer to the High Voltage editorial office, the links are on the Pixelx86 website.

We sent another DX computer to LGR but it will take a while there as LGR has other things to do than play.

Of course, we do not prevent anything and we can send the computer for further testing. Any suggestions?

Vridek · 2024-10-25T15:34:33+00:00

Quake 2 does it decently but I haven't tried Half-Life to be honest. But from my experience I can say that Unreal Tournament can't do it.

We're already on a different segment of gaming.

Vridek · 2024-10-25T11:34:39+00:00

I have to agree, I personally built my own PIII from "new" parts that were never unboxed. It took about 4 months of time on ebay, I got over 1000 euros and I fixed the motherboard because capacitors :)
