  1. Reminds me of my first server i bought a Rackmount unit and to make it less noisy i took the fans out, left the top open and pointed a 60 Watt box fan at it from the top Jank af but worked for almost two years
  2. Mounting can make a big difference, especially when you have more than just one or two drives spinning at the same time. To a lesser degree also cooling, just a breeze of airflow is usually enough to cool a drive, but i have seen some drive cage adapters that stack them so tightly that even that is impossible.
  3. As a newbie this might not be correct but from my understanding warping happens when your parts cool down to quickly or at different paces through the model. Given that its summer and i don't know how good your enclosure seals, maybe its the air-con or something else causing rapid cooling? Last time i printed ABS i was recommended to crank the heat on the build plate for about an hour before the print starts to warm up the air inside the enclosure.
  4. In case someone is facing the same Question of what printer to get: I decided to pre order a Qidi MAX 3. It's a bit over budget but has everything in need and more. I will try to report back on how it is to own once i had some time with it.
  5. You are like many many people And to everyone who (honestly) doesn't need a printer: Don't get one. Print Shops are dirt cheap compared to spending 50$ on Ink every time you want to print something cause its dried up. Or even better: Have a something like a family printer. I print for my entire family and basically half of the village. If you have something confidential, there are self service copy shops as well.
  6. My Epson WF Enterprise is pretty amazing to be honest. Can't say anything long term tho, i just got it 4 months ago. OEM Ink is cheap and very good, replaceable maintenance box, software is ok.
  7. Maybe a bit, but the fact is that depending on where you life its not so bad. Epson for example doesn't look out third party inks at all (at least not within the last 10 years). HP still does that, even tho they have been sued and lost over and over, but they seem to enjoy being an arse. Canon is hit or miss, they don't lock stuff out in Europe but do in some markets. OEM vs Third Party supplies is a whole discussion on its own tho. The newer Tank printers however are a complete change in direction. Same goes for the mid and higher end cartridge based printers. They have much more user replaceable parts. Like the dreaded waste ink container for example (Epson calls it a Maintenance Box). Canon is offering an excellent repair service in Europe, that genuinely makes it worth fixing printers rather than just buying a new one. Even Brother (they used to have a bad name for being overpriced, yet under performing, especially in the Office Inkjet segment) is offering some Ink tanks, as well as more friendly (admittedly still expensive) long range cartridge printers that make perfect sense to buy, unless you print a lot. Its really only the low end stuff and HP (consumer) printers that still haven't heard the shot.
  8. I have used ESET in the past, but as mentioned, Windows Defender and some basic rules during usage are plenty.
  9. There are emission classes (at least for wood), that is something to look out for (if you life in Europe). But only the highest grade is completely free of formaldehyde.
  10. Printers are only bad if you buy the wrong one for your needs. Or the cheapest one. But lets face it: the cheapest car is gonna suck as well, same goes for the cheapest laptop. And if it's not the correct product for your application you are going to have a bad time. What is a work of Satan however is the marketing from certain companies as well as the incompetence of most personal working in electronics retail...
  11. the X1 is too small for its asking price imo, but the Cr 10 is a great tip, the pro Version even comes with a high temp hot end as standard. Would require building an enclosure tho, but it's well priced, so that might actually be worth it. Thank you!
  12. The thing about the bed was more a general thing, but your wallet is a decent workaround Your system looks like it has trouble accessing data, this could mean your SSD is doing some garbage collection or potentially trying to read from bad blocks, or if it is using system memory for caching maybe windows messed that up. In both cases there would not be damaged data, it would just be very slow till its done/fixed. Task Manager shows average response time for storage devices, which would be an indicator for that. I thought that was for RAM only? Not sure tho
  13. That's always a possibility, but i to me it looks like you are having some drive issues, since the system is responsive, it just doesn't load anything.
  14. Your video isn't very helpful here Again check Task Manager to see system utilization. From your video i can tell you seem to be very impatient with your machine, despite having a lot of stuff in autostart, which will definitely slow down boot times a lot. Also Laptops and beds dont mix. They need Air and a soft surface is blocking the bottom side and the rear exhaust to some degree, so don't do that over extended periods when you need it to do things
  15. Have you checked your Taskamanager to see if maybe something is getting pinned? Like RAM, CPU or your drive?
