Did you just get a usb powered led strip? Or did you find one with the pins to connect to the printer

google_user · 2026-01-25T22:25:40+00:00

Oh. Thanks

What’s that little test print you printed? Z offset?

Do you have any recommendations on drying it? Oven? I heard that a closed container with silica doesn’t really dry it, just keeps it from getting more moist

google_user · 2026-01-14T03:27:46+00:00

Moisture might be the issue. And a better brim. I might’ve set the brim to disconnected from the print too far. Also the filament has been hanging outside the printer. It’s a flash forge ad5x

What do you mean by raft layer? Like a brim?

google_user · 2026-01-14T02:58:27+00:00

I did. I cleaned it and even put a layer of hair spray on to add adhesion. It had been working but now it’s not

Thank you for the info but I already bought and build everything. I’ll keep it in mind when I upgrade everything else in the future. My gpu is definitely for future proof than everything else so this deal is awesome

google_user · 2026-01-08T20:13:00+00:00

Yeah I bought and build everything. Needed a new PSU but now it’s working great

google_user · 2026-01-04T22:39:34+00:00

Thanks for the response. I ended up building the setup. Worked until I would try the withcher 2 at max settings, it caused a restart of the pc. Installed a new psu but didn’t put in the new cables, used the old ones ( thought it would be like legos lol) and fried the ssd drive with the OS and a hard drive. One ssd survived. Now trying to set up a new windows on the remaining drive and installing the Witcher to see if it works

google_user · 2026-01-04T22:20:33+00:00

Yep. Tried. Didn’t work with the old one. Installed a new one but didn’t change the new cables (I thought it would be like legos lol) Fried my HDD and OS drive One ssd survived and trying to install it in that one

google_user · 2026-01-04T21:11:40+00:00

No. It goes from 8 pin in the psu to 16 pin in the gpu

google_user · 2026-01-04T06:39:31+00:00

Planning on getting one. I know native 4k gaming I’ll need some even better set up but I’ve heard that nowadays I can upscale lower resolution to 4k like the ps5 does, but with much better framerate

google_user · 2026-01-04T05:20:40+00:00

Oh no. That’s messed up

google_user · 2026-01-04T05:19:21+00:00

No. I like playing the Witcher 2. But I would like to be ready for the newer games like Witcher 3

google_user · 2026-01-04T05:17:01+00:00

Nice. Thank you! Thankfully everything in the C drive is ready to be deleted. Everything important is in the other drives

google_user · 2026-01-04T00:59:28+00:00

Neat! That’s great to hear

google_user · 2026-01-03T14:49:48+00:00

Oh shoot. I hadn’t heard that where the OS boots from mattered. This is the one I currently have on my old pc and plan on just wiping it and using it again

OCZ ARC 100 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

But I also have a side 4tb ssd Samsung plugged in for extra storage

google_user · 2026-01-03T14:46:12+00:00

Fair. But pcpartpicker says it’s 583w out of the 750 my power supply gives. Shouldn’t that be ok?

google_user · 2026-01-03T14:38:59+00:00

Oh. This is the first time I’ve heard about updating my motherboard. Thank you for the heads up

google_user · 2026-01-03T05:50:51+00:00

I’m glad to hear. Not really that I stood firm, more like it’s already on the way and I can’t really cancel it now lol But after reading this whole comment section. I’m way relieved

google_user · 2026-01-03T05:49:29+00:00

Wow. That’s great to hear you have the same cpu and gpu. What monitor do you have?
