  1. i'm only running a single dedicated gpu and onboard graphics seperately. In any case I seem to have sorted the issue now, i think it was a loose 24 pin connector not had the issue for nearly a week now after forcing the thing back into its socket. fingers crossed ahyway. thanks for the suggestions guys Smithy
  2. if the nozzle is 0.2mm then I would expect that the layer height is a maximum of 0.2mm rather than minimum or fixed. The layer thickness isnt determined by the printer hardware or firmware, you set that in your slicing software and the printer gets as close as possible to that depending on the steps/mm its hardware allows. and just a heads up a 0.2mm head is great for fine detail but the print times on that will be painfully slow due to it not being able to extrude much material at a time. also if the extruder doesnt have enough torque it may not be able to push the filament through at a very high speed which also means a slower print. Don't worry about that though if any part doesnt live up to expectations it doesnt take a lot to modify and replace them, that is the beauty of 3d printing anything you want to change or add is at your fingertips. Personally i'm in the middle of designing my own printer to fit my personal wants and needs that i can print on the one at work.
  3. It's an ssd and the magnetic field from the magnets is fairly weak outisde of its casing as you say.
  4. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/204444-powercolor-pcs-hd7870-myst-edition-2gb-graphics-card-white-sleeved-cable-extensions/ got a tahiti 7870 up for sale
  5. ended up with something a little bigger for a case. also swapped the arms for grey and added motor guards, and remounted the camera at 15 degrees. room for controller, laptop, quad and all my batteries
  6. switched out my colours and added motor guards before After:
  7. I think you are getting confused between 5GHz wifi and the 5.8GHz that is widely used for fpv transmitters. If the camera is a wifi camera then it works on the 5 GHz band of wifi which only newer phones will be able to do, the htc one max you mentioned does have this but there may be a setting somewhere to disable it. 5.8GHz is the frequency widely used for FPV video transmitters and there isn't a phone around that can pickup and decode an analogue 5.8ghz video stream withotu an external adapter.
  8. I could do with the exact same thing but with both sides as the deep transmitter part so its like doubled up. If you know where I might get one let me know
  9. just added this to my lineup. its a 250 size fpv quad, looking at doing some forest runs and fast flying where my big hex wont go. My turnigy transmitter case fits it pretty perfectly
  10. I really hope it isnt that, as it would be PITA to change it and it has been working brilliantly since I rebuilt it. The problem just happened again for the first time since posting this. and I can't really take the card out as im sure you can imagine... So I'm asking hopefully if there is something else that could be doing this?
  11. Hi, I just had a strange issue on my pc, I was watching a youtube video and suddenly one screen went black and the other just started flashing all random colours. I rebooted and the same thing happened again within minutes, and now of course I can't make it happen again on camera. Theres no way its an overheaing issue as It has a custom watercooling loop which is running extremely well, nothing ever gets above 50c. And it isnt leaking, which is the first thing i checked. The specs are: msi z77a g45 core i5 3570k msi r9 290 reference card 16gb avexir core blue ram corsair evo 540 250gb ssd 1tb wd carviar black storage drive rm750 power supply. custom watercooling loop. It has been running fine in its current state for months and before that when it was just a cpu watercooling loop and air cooled graphics card it had been running for over a year without issue. All drivers are up to date. No idea what the cause is but I know it shouldnt be doing it. just to clarify the monitor that goes black is on the graphics card output wheras the one that flashes all manner of colours is on the integrated graphics output. dont suppose any of you know a cause? cheers, Smithy
  12. alright guys cheers, I will stick the old drive back in but there is another slight issue now, since the old OS didnt seem to work and the ssd was essentially a disk clone of the old disk I tried to clone the ssd to the old HDD and that didnt work either, it just wouldnt boot but it boots fine with the ssd. Do they just look over the hardware or will they tell me it needs to come with the original files on the original HDD and it needs to have an intact recovery parition?
  13. the thing is, it has been taken back before and they returned it saying it was fine but it never was. I suppose it is worth a try to take it back to them in its original state and see what they say this time. haha nobody would dare say no in the face of that
  14. hi all, just had a minor argument on the phone with somebody about repairing my mums laptop. Basically ever since she got it about a year ago it has randomly shut down, crashed and made "my graphics card is fubar" images all over the screen. She has been using it like this and just dealing with it, but some time ago I bought her an ssd and cloned her old hard drive onto the ssd so atleast it would be faster for her. When she came to getting it repaired I put the old hard drive back in but the OS wouldnt boot even though the drive was untouched since it was pulled and she was going to take the laptop into the store on the friday of the week so seeing as it was monday i decided to just put the ssd back in so she could use it during the week. When I came home on the wednesday she had taken the laptop in for repair with the ssd still inside and now currys have rang me saying they can't repair it because they can't fix problems witht things they havent fitted which to me is just ridiculous since the drive is not causing any issues whatsoever but they won't even run motherboard diagnostics because of it. so I have the original drive sat here, when they return the laptop should i be able to just refit the drive and send it right back to them or will they get pissy about it now? cheers, Smithy
  15. emptied my inbox but I should say that I have already bought a hobbyking replacement while it was cheap
