3D printer tip for you: enable "Ironing" in your slicer. It basically runs the nozzle back and forth on top surfaces to make them smooth so you don't have the layer lines on the top. I'd still sand the top surface afterwards, but the ironing makes a big difference.

[@OwlishGeorge]

This is an excellent tip, it's helped top finish on a lot of my prints. Honestly, after sanding it looks better than my glass bed 🤣

Hey Jay, just a note on the texture for the bezel. If you are like me and printed on the ender 3 or similar surface and have a rough grey (dried) look to the surface it can be fixed in a couple ways. Sorry if you already know...but I'll say anyway for others. Simplest fix is (for PLA), just take a torch lighter (what I use) and run it over the surface. It will just slightly melt the "dry" looking areas and correct the color. If you want it really flat and smooth, you can sand it first and then do the torch. If it's ABS, you can put it in a container with some Acetone in an open jar and let the fumes smooth it. Lastly, is your option to paint it, but I hate painting PLA because it tends to scratch off too easily. Also remember that heat can warp PLA, so you would want to sandwich the bezel with something that would keep it from bending.

[@upintheclouds1337]

The way ARGB works, it's actually the LEDs themselves which handled the digital signal processing to determine which light color to use at each position. The LEDs have 4 pins: 5V, G, Data in, Data out. And basically are daisy-chained together by simple traces on the PCB that link Data in to Data out. If you wanted to wire up the legs of a WS2812b LED straight to the ARGB header, it would work. Theoretically, you could even do this with every adapter piece to make sure they worked, but we don't do that because (a) it is wasted light/heat that will interfere with cable management and (b) the 5v RGB headers have limited current output and can't run too many LEDs.

I appreciate the things that people go through on KZbin and then I learn what not to do sometimes. I also remember how buying five additional fans and a fan hub and I thought more fans equates to better cooling was great. Years later, it turned out to be a great misconception after watching one of Steve's videos demonstrating that more fans are not always better. When life gave me lemons, I bought more PC fans than I should have.

[@zodwraith5745]

Yeah, flow direction is more important that pure flow numbers. I've noticed by putting vapor through my case it's moving plenty of air but creates a feedback under my GPU where it keeps recycling it's own air while there's a steady stream through my AIO in the front going straight up and out through the top and back exhaust. This was one nice thing about the old blower GPUs that exhausted out the back. Semi-solved it by cranking the exhaust fans to create negative pressure so it pulls in air through the vented IO shields below the GPU. Downside is dust in every orifice.

[@TopHatCentury]

@@zodwraith5745 I agree. It is pretty cool that you used water vapor to test the airflow in your setup. In terms of airflow, I am not trying to sound like an advertisement in the comments section but the Fractal Design Torrent case is a prime example of minimizing the number of fans while adjusting the flow direction in the case and requiring less fans in the process. At one point, I tried to increase the exhaust fan RPM in one of my cases and I noticed that adjusting the rear fan alone was not enough to compensate for the lack of airflow in the overall case. I also tried to brute force the GPU cooling on a terrible Zotac card I bought but then I decided to buy an Artic GPU Cooler and slap on a 120mm fan to the custom cooler with some homemade wire clips. It is the jankiest setup for a graphics card I have but the over temperature on the card has let me keep the card for at least three to five more years. It is amazing how airflow and adequate cooling can make or break a computer's performance.

@@TopHatCentury sounds interesting, can you maybe make a video of it where you show this off? :) Never got this airflow thing quite right I'm afraid

I plan to transfer my main system into the Fractal Design Torrent and use two Gen. 4 NVMe drives (one for the main OS volume and the other one for AMD's StoreMI to pair with a large WD Black HDD).

Jay you can use Phanteks ARGB cables. I have my SL120's hooked up to an EK 7 port ARGB/fan controller.

3D printing tips/things to try to clean up your top layers. In at least Cura you can turn on Ironing and it will rub the hot nozzle back over the top surface to try and smooth it out. Also look into extrusion multiplier calibration, NOTE: it is generally filament brand/type specific. If you use profiles for your different fillaments you can store the setting so you don't have to keep readjusting it each time. I leu of doing a full calibration if you feel that it is a little to rough you could try to just reduce it by 1-2% for that specific print and see if the appearance improves to your liking. The extrusion multiplyer can either be changed on the printer through the menu, or you can search for the setting in your slicer when setting up the print job.

Maybe in a few years all pc cases and power supplies will be designed this way and we will look back thinking how novel it is.

Then warm up the power board side and gently and steadily solder the pin to the board.

Jay another option - you can cut off the lian li plugs, ARGB is a standard and each led is attached to +5V constant Power, Ground (or - or 0V depending on where u are in the world), and Data. the data protocol is serial and each LED has an address based it position along the data line. the 4 position 3 pin 5V ARGB header on the motherboard is electrically the same as the JST plugs lian li use the pins are just in different positions. The lian li controller isnt necessary it does allow for advanced effects if you are not needing the ability to have effects that move between the different groups of fans you can just use a standard RGB hub (sata power in, argb from mb in) each output of the hub will start at led 0 effectively syncing all the leds. The fans are std 4 pin and can be plugged straight into mb headers.

I know where Jay is coming from with those ARGB female plugs.. They don't "snap" in like PWM and other plugs. So it's super easy to pull them sideways while plugged in and bend or break pins.

[@nozemi8069]

I haven't looked too closeley at the fans you're using, but isn't there some way for you to disassemble the custom cable, so you can make your own cables, that are not only long enough but also not proprietary connectors, exact length, and lastly have the cable come out on the side that's more convenient for you? Doing something like this might involve some soldering, and/or maybe even 3D printing. However, it would be a very nice DIY customization of cable management/convenience. Also it's just a cable for the fan, so worst case you can just buy new cables if it doesn't work.

Jay, if you want your 3D printed logo to have a nice smooth finish you need to apply plastic primer to it. You lay the plastic primer layer, then use wet sandpaper do it very lightly you only want to do it so that the next plastic primer layer adheres to it, and then you apply another plastic primer layer. Repeat the process till you're happy with it. I've utilized it to transform a 3D printed wing made from ABS Plastic from a very rough finish into a very smooth finish so that I could utilize it to be tested in a subsonic wind tunnel

I've broken a pin or two dealing with the ARGB connectors and they're surprisingly easy to solder back together... A standard PCB style pin is too big to fit the female part of the ARGB cable, so you have to use the pin you broke off, but otherwise it's super simple to repair... Or... Just do like I've been doing lately... Grab a bunch of 3 pin servo extension cables for stupid cheap and just cut the original ends off the cables and replace with those... It makes for a much stronger connection than those weak ARGB pins anyway...

Made a clip of the block quote part and Phil dying in the background. This is what I’m here for lol

For the fan and rgb wires (before you found those extensions) couldn't you have just cut and solder extension wires in, more work and all but gets the job done.

Flip the build plate over if it’s glass or use a piece of glass (if your Ender doesnt have a glass build plate). You will get a mirror finish if you print the face of your bezel face down. Your nozzle height needs to be perfect but once you get it it won’t look 3D printed, it’s really cool.

Devastated to see that happen Jay! Cannot wait to see this progress to completion!

"That's some good block right there I if I don't do say my o for my own blocks" 🤣 I'm framing that and hanging it on my wall at work!
