    Ambrose_A got a reaction from Needfuldoer in Dell precision T5500/T3500 CPUs   
    I'm running with an SSD plugged into the motherboard and a RAID card with 4 drives. I had a WAY better system going for the NAS until it just stopped working suddenly.
    I'm planning on building a new system, just need to save up.

    I just skimmed the service manual for the T5500, and it looks like you should be able to just remove the second CPU riser and run without it. If you have the free slots on the motherboard, move the RAM over.

    If you really want to save power though, I'd recommend looking into a newer platform. Even Sandy Bridge was a big step up from Nehalem in terms of efficiency. Even a desktop OptiPlex with a Skylake or better processor should be faster than the dual-socket T5500, assuming you're only running a couple drives.

    Post your print speed, extruder temp, bed temp, and even better if using Prusaslicer or otherwise, an export of your slicer build plate w/settings.

    It hurts but I've got a new PSU coming. The one I have maybe fixable but I don't have the gear to solder or know how to fix it reliably so I don't want to risk it going out and taking other stuff with it. Thanks for all of the help!

    I am vary new to 3d printing, 3-4days. I am printing a paint brush rinsing cup and I keep getting these rough patches that are raised up a little but the print seems to still be attached to the plate just fine.
    This is the 3rd try (see pictures) and I have tried raising the bed temp and the printhead temp but neither seemed to work. I've calibrated the bed so it's level. No other print seems to have this issue but they haven't been this big.
    I'm using an Ender 3 pro.
