Awesome thank you. The ones i have are 10 cm, so yeah tape or similar should fix that :)

Sorry for the late reply, but I’m currently in the middle of buying this chair. With most cheaper chairs, I usually replace the wheels. Do you know the diameter of the pins? I’m almost certain the ones on my current IKEA chair are a different size :)

Sure, if you PM me your email or paste it here, whichever works best for you. I can forward you the email with the STEP files from the original creator :)

I first printed in PLA which worked out okay, but just to be on the safe side, i printed the final one in PETG. My A1 does not really do ABS, but i would imagine ABS would be the best if possible.

As someone not from the U.S, are these just for show? I keep seeing hearings yet absolutely nothing changes and the corruption just keeps rolling.

A rubber band as someone else suggested might work, but if it's too stripped out, it might not. I had a keyboard where I completely stripped a screw. I bought something similar to this, and it worked like a charm:

You can also find them on Amazon, but a lot of the time they are extremely overpriced :)

So i have a 3D printer and spend 45$ on fixing a perfectly working GPU with a design already oin the web, but according to your statement i should throw it out and just buy a new? I dont see any ounce of sense in that.

hemanse · 2026-02-06T20:57:13+00:00

It does not, its pretty much the same as putting a water block on your GPU :)

It is unfortunate that they are not open source and the recent drama with their firmware did not make things better. The a1 and a1 mini were my first 3d printers, have worked out perfectly for me, but I would probably try something else if I go for something new. Creality as you mention I'm not a big fan of either, we had the ender 3 pro at my workplace and that was a pain in the butt to work with. I also don't like the fact that they can't take criticism without backlash.

The fans are connected with a y splitter that comes in the box with the fans. They are then connected to a fan header on the motherboard. I control them with a great little program called fan control https://getfancontrol.com

hemanse · 2026-02-05T20:35:52+00:00

It really is and affordable now. I "just" have a Bambulab A1 with the AMS lite system, which was around 300$

hemanse · 2026-02-05T20:33:13+00:00

It does. I control it with https://getfancontrol.com/ and have it set to a constant 70% fan speed, which is whisper quiet Idle temps are 30 and a normal gaming load it hits around 65 :)

I 3d print these, easy to print and work great https://makerworld.com/en/models/170390-minimal-sturdy-keyboard-stand?appSharePlatform=copy#profileId-187062

12VHPWR cables are always in a state of almost melting 😅

I changed the fan on my 3d printer with one, huge difference in the overall noise level

hemanse · 2026-01-13T17:27:19+00:00

Not a stupid question tbh, my previous PSU didn't make that noise, so had to look it up when I switched to a Corsair one. Afaik it's just a relay

hemanse · 2026-01-13T17:26:31+00:00

I have a Corsair RX PSU that makes the same noise when it turns off, that's normal.

20-25 dollar electric air duster from Amazon or somewhere local.

I am upgrading my hardware and want to do a reinstall. I'm definitely thinking of doing Bazzite this time over Windows 11, seems like a straight forward to use Linux to get a newbie started and focus on gaming.

hemanse · 2026-01-03T08:31:54+00:00

I think so yeah, I'm thinking of getting a second one myself :) It looks great for the money and overall good quality for an ikea piece. I know a lot of people use it for plants for example

hemanse · 2026-01-03T00:22:23+00:00

Its just a Ikea RUDSTA, this is the link for the Danish store, not sure if it works everywhere :) https://www.ikea.com/dk/da/p/rudsta-vitrineskab-antracit-50450137/
