  • Nah it's fine. Even if he plugs in only one of the 6 pins it's more than capable of the 150w the 8 pin output is rated for. You'd need a really old and shitty PSU for it to actually use different gauge wires for the 6 Vs 8 pin, since the only difference is 2 extra ground wires (and a higher power rating).

  • ASA and ABS definitely do better at elevated chamber temps. What temp is enough I can't say but I still saw improvements when going from 50 to 70c. Higher temps also let you use more fan speed without the added risk of warping so you'll probably see better overhangs even though the temps are higher.

    Id start with adding some chamber temp sensors first so you can measure what difference you are making with the other mods.

    Using 4 mm abs panels I saw about a 15c improvement by just throwing a fleece blanket over the printer, so that might be an easy fix if you don't print large parts frequently. Although higher temps are also great for layer adhesion on smaller parts.

  • Yeah ridga or vzhextrudort style gears definitely help greatly. You could do a mihai style test to see if the artifacts on the i3 are mostly extruder related or from the XY motors.

    Tuning drivers consistently for quality is going to require an oscilloscope, although there are some experiments with attaching an accelerator to the motor while doing a frequency sweep.

    Of course you could just change settings and see if there is a visual difference, but there are too many settings and combinations to make that realistic.

  • I dont really game on my phone but my parents both got the Samsung a51 shortly after i got my Poco F1. And nowadays the a51 takes a while to load basically anything while the F1 still feels pretty snappy.

    Chipset also plays a huge part in the battery life and camera experience.

    For me I only start looking for a new phone when i get annoyed by how slow my current phone feels, I'm not saying you should get a shitty phone just because it has a good chip, it just really helps it not feel old in a few years.

  • Somewhere between 300-500 Prioritising getting a decent chipset over the rest of the features, because having all the gimmicks doesn't matter if the phone feels slow after a few years of updates.

  • Depends on what phone you get and where it cuts the corners. The Snapdragon 845 in my Poco F1 is still plenty fast 4 years later. The camera is still respectable even today.

    The plastic body and shitty LCD screen aren't great, but that was already there when I got it.

  • Once you get good at it you can enjoy both at the same time as well. Thats the only downside of snowboarding for me, admiring the view is hard when you're balancing on one edge or getting a cold ass.
