Gria sich.

I buying resin and also filament always via EBay directly at Sunlu. ;)
Got one spool from them and it literary fell apart in my hands. Maybe I got a bad one, but I threw away the whole spool. Couldn't even save a few meters to test it out. Using from a local company here: https://rast3d.com/en/ (I am not affiliated, they don't know I exist, I get nothing mentioning their name at all). Jut pure experience.

seriously?... i feel like i've got beaten :laugh:

my "basket" right now when i saw your post
View attachment 324329


but i am still pondering tied between that and a resin printer ... but unfortunately resin refil are rarer than PLA/ABS/PETG rolls
will decide tomorrow i think :D

BBC, no it's not what you think, it has nothing to do with British Broadcast Corporation or a Big Black C... Cat... it's Better Butt Cushion

bought that one for 7$ on TEMU ... i was expecting something that would fall in multiples pieces on first ride but, nope ... equal build quality as the original saddle i replaced ... and way more comfortable

Rear derailleur and cassette (also got the 8S shifter SRAM EX1, since the cable from the Shimano, unexpectedly, broke o_O )

aluminum spider and steel gears ... 20chf? well it hold quite good right now, time will tell if it's a keeper or a "GET THE HELL OUT!"

and well, i got some gift for my birthday, before i'd get games or PC hardware, but now i get bike hardware :laugh:
View attachment 324331View attachment 324332
basically he got me the initial black/red chain i wanted but did not take because it was 116chf (i voiced my concern and he swore that he did not get it at that price :laugh: )and a pair of Look Trail Grip pedale (way more expensive than the "ultimate shinbone destroyer" also a one piece aluminium but that's the only similarity, only 8 studs (abs? compared to quite a few more in steel), reflectors and a camouflage rubber cover made by Vibram(R) )

hum ... now i need to paint all the green part of the frame and change the stickers on the battery to red ... although with the pedals ...might not be needed ...

My mate has had a 3d printer for ages, hes been at me to get one. I had a look and there are some awfully good things you can make with one.
https://www.printables.com/

Is there a 3d printer thread? or could there be one?

I'm thinking about the RTX 3060 12GB
I don't know about Rio de Janeiro but where I live it makes negative sense. RX 6700 XT is almost the same price ($10 to 25 more expensive), much faster without RT and they both suck balls at RT. RTX 3060 Ti is the same price and 8 GB handicap this GPU less than the 3060 is handicapped by its slow core.

Bought a new card to replace my motherboard's bad WiFi card giving me headaches for the past two months.
Intel AX210 - cost $29. That's a INR 1 coin, slightly larger than the US penny, and 0.04% the value of that card.
Changing it out was an experience, but I do NOT recommend it for the average person. Just buy a motherboard with a decent card.

Been there. The Intel wifi on my Aorus X470 wasn't giving me issues like yours, but its speeds were all over the place depending on a superior will on any given day. So I decided to replace it with a Killer 6E AX1675 (essentially the same as your AX210, but with the Killer suite).
An experience I hope I never have to go through again, but would surely do it again instead of swapping a whole motherboard only because of it.

Working good so far.

I'm sure you are talking about the month-long agony all of us had to go through in the other thread, but I'm not even talking about that.
The shroud on top of the I/O shield looks cool, but is a PITA to disassemble and assemble, especially if you don't know what you are doing.
Plus, I had to take my motherboard out to access the screws and back-panel I/O so that is basically half of the work of assembling the entire computer - again.

I was talking about disassembling the motherboard. Mine still has a backplate which must be removed first, then the shroud and back panel, and finally the wifi card assemble.
But yeah, I'd also never want to go through such a lenghty troubleshooting again, even if my rig wasn't the issue.

1: cold beer...

2: MORE USB-C to C CABLE!
Toocki 1.50m cable with display, almost accurate :laugh: pics 2 and 3 show a 1.55w variance :D (pic 2 was with the Usams 100w GaN charger) not bad for a 6.29chf cable (comparatively the Usams 1.20m 100w RGB cable was 14.90chf )

To celebrate a successful surgery and coming home I bought a 14700K Wednesday and it showed up this morning. I now have enough new parts (on prescribed pain meds I spend $$$ like a drunken sailor) and days of work ahead of me shuffling parts around as soon as I can spend extended time out of bed during recovery.

The 14700K is going to replace the great 5.6GHz 13600KF (formerly owned by ShrimpBrime and Space Lynx) in my Z790 rig. The 13700KF is replacing the two year old 12700K in one of my two Z690 rigs and the 5.3GHz 12600K I have in the other Z690 is staying there. I'll either sell the 12700K or keep it as a spare. It's an early one that still has fully functional AVX 512. The downside is it's not a good overclocker and even using an Arctic LF II 420 with aftermarket 170cfm fans struggles to keep it from throttling at 5.1GHz.

In the US, guns are called prescribed pain meds. Noted. xD

I remember last year I just spent two weeks just watching movies after my surgery, both to pass the time and as a distraction.
