Every single freewheel does this, and it's not an issue.

The freewheel bearings don't line up exactly with the wheel bearings. This is always the case to some degree, because the interface between freewheel and hub is a non-precision thread.

It might look weird when freewheeling, but once you put use the pedals, freewheel and hub are rotating together, negating this wobble.

If you can wait a couple weeks, AliExpress is going to be the cheapest.

eBay may be a bit more expensive, but it's often my go-to because you can find everything and usually there are options with short shipping times.

For not too obscure parts, I would look at Reichelt, their prices are surprisingly low (especially if you bundle your orders to save on shipping costs).

Can you get a big flathead screwdriver in there to carefully knock it out? It should allow you to get a better angle than the dedicated tool.

Go slowly and alternate the places you're putting the end of the screw driver. You want to push the cup out evenly, or it will jam and possibly deform the head tube.

HiPER Calc Pro. A great scientific calculator I use constantly. (There is also a unpaid, ad-supported version, and the ads weren't too intrusive the last time I tried it)

That's probably not a bad idea, although I doubt it will make much of a difference. But since you're redesigning the whole thing, might as well do it.

It looks like you would want an even airflow through the whole PSU. The main heat-generating components are using the sides of the housing as a heat sink. I'm guessing the fan is mostly so the air inside the housing doesn't get too warm, not to cool individual components.

Where is the original air exhaust? If it's near the bottom of the picture, that would confirm my theory. In that case, I would keep the fan placement as close to original as possible (i.e. the blue square).

You can use a boost converter to boost the 5V of an USB port to the 19V your notebook needs.

Assuming 5A output from a powerbank (which is probably about the max you will get without USB PD), you could theoretically get 0.55A at 19V. With the unavoidable inefficiencies, you will get less.

So, maybe enough to very slowly charge your notebook while it's off. But when it's turned on, the battery charge will still drop.

Sure, the skull is biodegradable. But didn't you know that large-scale human farming is responsible for the vast majority of CO2 emissions?!

Thanks for breaking it down for me! I think I'll stick with the B650 motherboard for now.

Right, I guess I assumed CPU naming makes sense, so surely the lower number CPU must be worse in every way, right?😜

Looks like going with the 7700X is a no-brainer for me then.

As for your upgrade recommendations: Can you explain the benefits of a higher-end mainboard? I would think the mainboard shouldn't make a huge difference, as long as it's from a reputable manufacturer and compatible with all the other parts.

Thanks for your help!

Right, I might just see what cooler I can get second-hand. Thanks for your input!

 

My 5 year old notebook is starting to show it's age, so I want to finally build a "real" PC. I rarely play games, so this is probably overkill - But I don't want my PC to be what's stopping me. I also expect it to last a while.

I chose all AMD because I'm running linux, and AMD seems to still be the best choice for that.

I found a couple similar posts on which I based this list, so most of the parts are probably fine. I'm unsure about the cooler: How much headroom should I leave? This one is rated just 10W higher than the CPU TDP, so it might be cutting it too close.

This seems to be a bug in the slicer. I'm seeing the same issue in OrcaSlicer if the skirt height is set to more than one layer (even if the skirt is disabled). This makes sense if a skirt is used (can't print a continuous spiral if you have to switch between printing the object and the skirt), but not if it's disabled.

What slicer are you using? If it's a PrusaSlicer fork, this is likely the same bug.

I built my 3D printer a couple of months ago, but I can't get it to print sharp corners. The corners in the picture should be 90°, without any fillets:

During this test print, I played with multiple parameters: speed, temperature, acceleration, junction deviation, linear advance. All of these were also individually tuned previously. Nothing seems to make a difference.

Could this be a issue with the construction of my printer? I'm beginning to think my hotend isn't rigid enough, but then I would at least expect better results at low speeds.

Edit: the printer is a CoreXY of my own design running Marlin 2.1.2.1. The Slicer is PrusaSlicer with most settings left as default (but increased speeds)
