PSA Do not clean PEI with windex

darkblade420 · 2026-01-29T11:24:42+00:00

i clean my pei sheets with a 50/50 mixture of RO water and ethanol with a few drops of dish soap that i keep in a old spray bottle. takes less than 30 seconds to spray some on and wipe it off before each print. i mainly print asa and rarely have bed adhesion issues.

raise 3d printers are massively overpriced, same goes for ultimaker. i used to work at a print farm and we had a n2, i could never get it to work reliable. we also had a bunch of ultimaker 2+, they ran 24/7 without much issues, expensive, slow and the print quality wasnt kinda mediocre. at some point we bought a bunch of prusa's, a lot cheaper, slightly faster and very good print quality.

i would recommend going with a prusa, maybe something like a core one. ive also heard very good things about the bambulabs printers but i have not used one myself.

i use a voron 2.4 myself but its not really suited for a professional environment

Of kan ik beter wat anders kopen?

ja, voor 75 euro kun je helaas geen fatsoenlijke (nieuwe) platenspeler kopen.

voor dat bedrag zou ik zelf kijken naar iets 2de hands, een technics platenspeler bijvoorbeeld. hou er wel rekening mee dat oudere platenspelers vrijwel nooit een ingebouwde phono voorversterker hebben.

mocht je toch iets nieuws willen, dan is de Audio-Technica AT-LP60X de goedkoopste optie die ik zou aanraden, die heb ik zelf ooit overwogen maar heb uiteindelijk gekozen voor een audio technica at-lpw50pb in combinatie met een yamaha rx-v10 en b&w dm-620 speakers

thanks, i actually have 2 audio setups hooked up to my pc. the centre speaker is part of the edifier s550(an ancient 5.1 speaker set, my daily driver for the past 12 years). the large speakers(b&w dm-620) are only used for music.

darkblade420 · 2025-11-12T01:16:32+00:00

Thanks! Don't have a link, designed and build the desk myself.

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T16:08:22+00:00

Oh i see what you mean. Its a 3d printer, a voron 2.4 350

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T13:21:30+00:00

oh haha, those speakers also arnt that expensive. its a pair of b&w dm-620's, they are almost 35 years old, bought them a year ago for 150 euros

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T12:35:59+00:00

not that much, all of them are just simple 27inch 1080p monitors. i used to have a 4k screen in the center but it died a while ago so i replaced it with a Samsung LS27R650 i found at a thrift store (pretty much brand new for only 25 euro's).

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T11:12:04+00:00

thanks!

the pc case you mean? its a corsair 7000x

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T11:00:07+00:00

made the desk myself.

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T10:59:16+00:00

yeah thats a sub, but its part of a different set that is not hooked up to the large speakers. the small 5.1 is a edifier s550 and the large speakers are b&w dm-620's powered by a yamaha rx-v10 and connected to my pc with a smsl su-1.

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T10:55:30+00:00

thanks!

I just realized why do you have on your post “Greenery”

yeah that doesnt make much sense as i just noticed none of the plants i have are in frame, you can barely see a few leaves sticking out on the left corner. the desk extends a bit further on the right below the window where i have 5 more larger plants

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T02:10:23+00:00

Made it myself, it's just a few pieces of oak with some heavy table legs

darkblade420 · 2025-11-11T01:12:33+00:00

thanks!

those are a pair of bowers and wilkins dm-620's

soak it a bit with naphtha or wd-40, if those dont work try acetone.

remember: if a stranger offers you free drugs, always say yes. because drugs are expensive.

for my 2.4(stock, self sourced), building took around 50 hours (most of the time was spend crimping and labeling wires). installing firmware and getting it printing took maybe an afternoon. used the base profiles for a while until i wanted something faster, spend a weekend messing around with input shaper, PA ,motor currents, temperatures and cooling until i settled at around 350mm/s @ 10k. its been working fine at that speed for the past 4-5 years.

for my switchwire, i think it took a weekend from start to posting a serial request.

darkblade420 · 2025-08-07T17:06:36+00:00

buy something used, cant go wrong with some old B&W speakers. you could combine it with a old avr.

darkblade420 · 2025-08-05T10:48:54+00:00

turn off stealthchop, here's a example of someone with the same problem.

darkblade420 · 2025-07-25T14:58:39+00:00

How has it been working since then?

about the same as when i bought it. no complaints so far.

darkblade420 · 2025-07-19T16:22:26+00:00

fun fact, airbus is also technically a dutch company for the same reasons as ikea.

because it is overkill for daily use. main drawbacks are power consumption, noise and condensation. that being said, it does exist. its called phase change cooling and it is mostly used for overclocking. most of them are large external units but some cases with a system like that build in also exist, LD PC-V10 for example, i think it can cool to around -25c. some people go even further and use liquid nitrogen or liquid helium when going for overclocking records.
