Prusa MK3/MK4 Enclosure Built with an IKEA LACK Table

    I come here for answers. I have the MSI Vector 17 HX A14VIG model and right when I turn it on the fan makes a lot of noise 50 DBi. Only the left fan is activated. The right one is only activated when using the cooler booster. I don't understand why it overheats so much, I haven't installed Windows yet. It's completely new.

      @@rubenponce1042 In my experience, the fan runs at a high level by default. In fact, I was worried about it until I installed all the driver updates. It then went to a much lower, nearly silent level, during normal operations. The fact that you do not have an OS yet makes me wonder if this is not the problem. On MSI hardware, the MSI Dragon Center lets you control of the FAN RPM settings.

      ​@@jackalturk6491 yep, the fan could be really annoying working on some the performance profiles. I usually use silent mode in a couple of games (PES 2021 and CIV 6 both on top quality) and don't have any performance and heat problems. When I play CS i turn on the AI mode but since I'm using headphones doesn't bother me. I think that the profiles are using much more power than actually is needed and with some good tweaking you can lower the fan usage without jeopardizing the heat dissipation, but the MSI service App is not user friendly at all...

    Awesome video for me who is thinking of replacing my MK3 with an MK4 and MMU3. How much waste is created in the wipe tower? =]

    • @PhilippeLacoude
      @PhilippeLacoude 6 місяців тому

      The wipe tower is almost exactly equal in height to the object that you are printing. Its base size, around 10 cm2, is proportional to the amount that you need to wipe. If you print a white and black model, you will want to increase the amount of the material that is wiped (to make sure that you do not leave black streaks in the white parts). If you print pastel earth tones like those snails, the size of the wipe tower is minimal (because the colors are closer.) The wipe tower has a very low density, maybe 5%, typically. I have to add two mitigating factors: 1. You can sometimes wipe the material inside the model itself as an infill. Is that case, there is no wipe tower. 2. There's only one wipe tower per print. So, printing 1 snail is the same as printing 5 snails.

    • @PhilippeLacoude
      @PhilippeLacoude 6 місяців тому

      As soon as I get the MMU3 for the MK4, I will do another video. According to Prusa, I should get the package in the second week of May. I will assemble it and test it out right away. This second review will use PLA (instead of PETG) as I plan to keep a setup where my MK3S+ MMU3 prints PETG and my MK4 MMU3 prints PLA. (I always use Prusament for multi-material prints to have consistency of temperature and flow settings for all 5 spools.)

    • @PhilippeLacoude
      @PhilippeLacoude 6 місяців тому

      Maybe a final point. I find it absolutely satisfying to be able to pick a color (out of 5 possible ones) every time I print out a monochromatic object. The MMU3 lets me print remotely without having to do a filament change ahead of time.

    • @PhilippeLacoude
      @PhilippeLacoude 6 місяців тому

      Yesterday, I printed the 4 wheels of this counter (link below) in white and red. I just checked: the 4 wheels weigh 31 grams and the wipe tower weighs 10 grams. The wipe tower is quite dense (because I was going from a very clear color to a dark one) and measures 60*16*12 (LxWxH) www.printables.com/model/712319-hands-free-counting-machine-9000-v12

    • @kaasmeester5903
      @kaasmeester5903 Місяць тому

      You can tweak the values a bit. I found that the system purged quite a bit more than necessary after a filament change, dialing down that setting (off the top of my head I'm not sure what it's called) will reduce waste.

    Great work, Philippe! I'm wanting to do something very similar, but rather a Christmas Ornamant, it just be a "fidget toy". The idea is to have a Sphere of LEDs with a Potentiometer to rotate through RGB Color values. Basically combining your build with Blitz City channel's "Control an RGB LED's Colors with One Potentiometer" video. Right now I'm trying to learn how to run 5-6 WS2812b LEDs using a Rechargeable Lipo battery. Do you have experience with the TP4056 Recharging Board? If you have any resources for working with rechargeable batteries, I'd love to hear them. Thank you for the inspiration, cheers! - Blake

    • @PhilippeLacoude
      @PhilippeLacoude 9 місяців тому

      I did not fix the fact that the refresh rate is not synchronized to the FastLED refresh rate. It was annoying and I tried to film this part in 1080p 30 fps and then in 60 fps and then in slow-motion mode at 240 fps and I still had this flicker. I think that the solution would be to use the fact that the FastLED library allows to change the refresh rate and pick a refresh rate that would be a prime number so that the refreshes are as asynchronous as possible to the 30 or 60 fps.

      That said, while you are correct, I am not sure how I would deal with the fact that each snowflake can be its own unit from a lights pattern point of view. How would you tell WLED that you want to turn the snowflakes, say, red, green, and blue? With the FastLED library, you can turn one snowflake uniformly red, the second one off, while the third one displays a changing rainbow. Granted, in practice, having a rainbow "roll" across all snowflakes is good enough.
