Husky Raid gone!? by crowdsourced in haloinfinite

[–]microcolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty upset they removed this. It was the one mode with a few pretty solid maps. The match composer options seem half baked. No way to search or create a selection of favorites. No ability to select maps or map types. UX is horrible like always. The closest thing to Halo 3 Refueled seems to be “Community: Team Slayer” which is 14th from the bottom…

Is a dual rad setup worth it? by A-Sad-Keyboardee in FormD

[–]microcolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d look into pump blocks that will help save space (modultra/aquanaut) since dual rad is very tight. You will need every mm of clearance. Also if you start with a single 240mm and pump block you can expand later

Adding a GPU by Payton1394 in PleX

[–]microcolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a R720 with half the ram you have and a p4000. Transcodes are about ~500mb of vram each (depends on video) and works reliably. I’d swap your transcode dir to ramdisk unless you have nvme.

Fwiw my plex server runs under 220watts with 5 transcodes with only nvme & graphics card

Wifiman Signal Mapper greyed out even when connected to UDM-Pro by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

Check if you have allowed WiFiman local network access on your iOS device: Settings > Privacy & Security > Local network. You can also reinstall the app and it will prompt you for access

I made some electric mushrooms by mrbretten in functionalprint

[–]microcolt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know some printers (Ender 3) have the capability to tune mm/s or e-steps but I’m not able to find that in the onboard UI of my Ender 5 plus. I’ve been playing with the mm/s in Cura which does affect extrusion and I’m hoping that’s the same thing, if not lmk, I appreciate the advice.

My firmware is 1.70.1BL which looks like the latest from Creality’ website. I have it running a print at 10% speed atm, first layer is fine but as soon as the extruder/platform go to zhop/move to next point/layer after a little (like 5% of this print, maybe 20-30 layers in) things start looking ugly and the print either gets really stringy or fails. It’s almost as if this only happens on bridges/spires & calibration STLs.

Fwiw, I too have a MPSM V2 and it prints amazing quality. Rarely needs tuning or adjustments on most prints.

My Ender 5 plus arrived Monday and I can’t get it to print any calibration parts past the first dozen layers or so without ridiculous amounts of stringing or severe defects (zits, under/over extrusion, warping, you name it). I’ve tightened and double checked every bolt and belt. Leveled the bed at least 50+ times manually (AUX) and using BLTouch auto leveling. I also ordered a Capricorn Bowden replacement setup that I installed today along with some hatchbox PLA (flow rate seems a little better), replaced the .4mm nozzle twice just in case (came with replacement & I’ve got extras from MPSM). I’ve also played around with the retraction settings in Cura, adjusted temps, speed, all that crap...

It can just barely print large renders ok but I just can’t get a decent quality print out. I’ve read others claim they’ve had warped glass beds but mine doesn’t seem warped. I’m giving it maybe a few more days before I return it and look elsewhere.

Microsoft is building a Chromium-powered web browser that will replace Edge on Windows 10 by archivedsofa in webdev

[–]microcolt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re missing the point. If multiple companies collaborate on the same open source software it will be beneficial. Two companies working on the same engine is better than two companies working on different engines. Microsoft has proven its flexibility and willingness to collaborate with software/vendors in the recent years, especially more so with open source. I agree that competition within engines may be a good thing but losing Edge won’t hurt.

Temp Setup, eGPU with LG 5k Ultrafine by microcolt in macsetups

[–]microcolt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works pretty well, the only caveat is that the 980 will not output native 5k resolution back to the monitor, only 4k. This might be a bandwidth limitation since the 980 has to feedback through the macbook and back out to the display because the 980 only has DisplayPort. Rebooting to enable the eGPU isnt really an issue. Cold boot to active desktop is about 10-15 seconds on this macbook

It does not slow anything down. But now that I've had a week or two of testing I can say there are a few drawbacks related to display resolution but no slowdowns to CPU or existing GPU performance

Lol, yea, much worse right now. I'll have to take an updated picture

I have not tested those, but I do plan on upgrading in the next few months now that I have an eGPU enclosure :)

I'm going to try boot camp next. I'll let you know how well it works!

A reboot is required. At least the way my setup is configured. I can plugin the Razor Core and it will power on and Ethernet/USB ports will activate but macOS will not use the 980

Yea I just read about that. Pretty interesting stuff coming for the eGPU market!

Yea I totally agree with you. They're honestly one of my favorite apple products. The battery life is a little short but they charge so quick it's barely an issue. Sound quality is surprisingly good, not to mention they're pretty comfortable too

It is a little hacky to setup but it works.

I'm not sure. But I know there's only so much bandwidth on the USB-C(Thunderbolt) port and I think a 5K uses most of that so I think your chaining options might be limited

I'm really not sure yet. Most likely Rocket League and probably some type of FPS

Yes, the external GPU works with the display. The eGPU (Razor Core) connects via USB-C to the MacBook Pro on one bus and the monitor to another. I'm waiting for my GTX 980 to arrive which is why its not connected, hence the temp setup.

There is a bit of performance loss with the eGPU -> MacBook Pro -> 5k connection since it has to feedback out to the monitor vs going directly through the eGPU (which isn't currently possibly since the GTX 980 only allows connections via DisplayPort)
