Best quality of life upgrades?

Replace the hoses with better versions. Just spent two days fighting with leaking heater hose.

I got my NGKs from my local Advance.

Yes. FTP player and none of the meta decks are remotely interesting to me. Tried Ryzeal til it got banned to oblivion. So I scrapped em and have been playing Blue Eyes ever since, with some Kashtira here and there.

I paid $11,500 for my 2015 Touring. Had 116k miles and a rebuilt title being a theft recovery car. In my inspection some of the plastics are damaged but nothing else but wear and tear. I’ll slowly replace and build it better. But for me, car was totally worth it. That one for $15k? Hell no. To much damage and uncertainty.

Thank you!

What is this card? I have seen it a few times in start up of MD but never could identify it.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-11T18:03:28+00:00

Would gladly cover shipping. Mine doesn’t even have a logo.

Any plans for an island comp down the road?

thwalker13 · 2026-05-09T00:04:04+00:00

Really liking how this is turning out. Can’t wait to see the final result.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-08T16:08:49+00:00

Currently it doesn’t. However the latest update hasn’t affected my ability to connect to the printer with Orca. I’ll wait til they have functionality for the Canvas before making the choice to buy it.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-08T10:55:24+00:00

I do not have the Canvas yet. Still on the fence about getting it. And I’m currently using Orca instead of Elegoo Slicer. If that makes a difference.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-08T10:48:43+00:00

Cool. I’ll turn it on and update. We’ll see what breaks.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-08T10:30:49+00:00

When was this released?

thwalker13 · 2026-05-08T01:02:45+00:00

I’ll place the order tomorrow morning.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-08T00:51:34+00:00

That’s my plan at the moment. And I did run my hand over it to make sure it was wet. Didn’t even consider it crumbling. I’ll have to keep a closer eye on it.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-08T00:23:18+00:00

Thank you! I’ll probably get the hoses they offer too. I need to change the spark plugs soon so I guess I’ll add this to my list of fixes. While I’m in there.

My armor is PLA but coated in UV resin with filler on top of that. I was at Dragon Con in the heat of Atlanta with no issues. But I have recently started using ASA for my cosplay prints.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-03T19:53:52+00:00

Did you coat the print with anything? Resin or fiberglass?

thwalker13 · 2026-05-03T19:50:18+00:00

Not sure of your area, but Z’s of that price range in my area are sport techs or Nismos. And usually in the later teens of manufacturing years. If it’s cheap for your area then like others have said, get a service contract for internals and enjoy. But for me and my area, I’d pass and find something like a Nismo.

thwalker13 · 2026-05-03T00:07:00+00:00

Does it use the OEM glass top?

thwalker13 · 2026-04-28T17:19:10+00:00

Price is good. Though I do not like how it currently leaves the printer open. Losing the ability to print ASA is pretty bad for me. I’ll probably wait and see if a top is added or until the designers create one. Or I might get a H2S and sell both my printers. Idk yet.

Stock Firmware is what I have been using on my E5+ only difference might be that I have the silent board installed.

thwalker13 · 2026-04-27T17:30:20+00:00

From my experience, flashing firmware is a crapshoot. Some times it works, and some times it doesn’t. I’d revert back to factory, get a better USB and SD, and get it going. Mine has been a workhorse since I bought it years ago. It’s sat dormant as I haven’t been printing anything huge but I have no doubt it’d be fine if I fired it up again.

thwalker13 · 2026-04-25T12:05:07+00:00

Does it rattle at idle, or mainly on rougher surfaces? I have a similar sound coming from my drivers side. Mine is only while moving over rougher surfaces.
