| Re: 3d printer for rc parts Cool , good to know thanks! I used to be pretty decent getting around in Windows but since I got my Chromebook around 2013 my Dell with Vista has been sitting on a shelf.

| Re: 3d printer for rc parts I forgot to mention that I got my desktop PC from Woot. It was a factory refurb from Dell. It has the same factory warranty as a new PC and it was $800 instead of $1,500 whatever it should have been new. I love it and I haven't had any issues with it. Dell has their own refurb site (including bidding auctions) and outlet sites so you can check those out as well. https://www.dellrefurbished.com/ https://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/22/campaigns/outlet - pay close attention to the three scrolling images at the top with daily deals. It's also a good idea to chat with a Dell rep if you are going to make a purchase. They often can give you a better deal. Quote:

My new PC only has 4GB of RAM, but it's got a solid state drive and a good multicore processor, and it hasn't struggled with anything I've tried to do so far in Fusion 360 or in Cura. My models aren't huge, but some of them are busy enough. 4GB of RAM with a standard hard drive and a more modest processor could certainly cause difficulties, but there's no harm in trying it. RAM is the cheapest and easiest thing you can upgrade in the PC, which is why I put my money into the other parts when I bought mine. |

This is dirt cheap: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9SIA6A35AT4464 And it's socket 1155, so it could be upgraded to a 2nd/3rd Gen i3/i5/i7 later. Desktop DDR3 is dirt cheap these days as well. We generally sell tested 4GB Desktop DDR3 sticks at around $8-$10/ea. Pretty sure these have 4 RAM slots, so you could easily be at a 3rd gen i5 w/ 16gb of RAM for under $200... |

I know this news is a little bit old but though it was worth sharing. Creality Ender 3 connectors (knock off XT60's) are MELTING and are a potential FIRE HAZARD Makers Muse video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffliEjzdBwU SexyCyborg Reddit Article https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3/comm...nector_update/ If anyone has this printer you should inspect this and replace with a real XT60 or similar know good connector. Creality has said that the new models are not effected by this issue. Last edited by HumboldtEF; 02-03-2019 at 01:16 PM. |
