Hi guys, PLA marble arrived, first time in my 3D stamp life with this kind of filament.
Inside slicer Anycubic preload many profile per PLA, but not for marble and not for metal variant: there are online (can't find) or have you premade profile or suggestion for use this filament?
Actually I try PLA profile (I think this is for PLA basic) and high quality settings that seems inside the technical limit of the filament based on specification by Anycubic.
But any comment based on real use will very appreciate.

Hi guys, 1 week ago I start my new 3D printer life with Kobra X, after 4 years of Creality Ender 3 V2 heavy modded. At that time with bowden extruder one of the must mod was update from PTFE to Capricorn tube, specially con TPU filament.
Today with Kobra X, I can made with TPU out of the box, just some filament test due to create a profile for Saint Smart or others.
But in your opinion, to perform better TPU object specially with 95A hardness, is better remove the PTFE, remain with PTFE or upgrade to Capricorn tube?

Hi guys, anyone knows how can start Windows from nvme SSD on PCI-E? Because the motherboard don't support it, I try with Clover, but stay in bootloop, even if I downgrade to 3.1 BIOS.

I'm not expert in hijack the BIOS and prefer don't try myself to use UEFItool, I know that in case of fail is very hard to recover the mobo (and need an hardware programmer). Some solutions view on web don't work on my system (or I can't), but because I'm not expert in this world (this is my first server, buy thanks to cheap price on eBay).

Anyone can help me? Prior to return on classical SATA SSD solution.

Hi guys, after years of wanting to, I finally had the chance to build a small home server for AI inference, training, and running heavy models locally.

To keep costs down, I went the used route and built a server based on a Supermicro X10DRH-C, running dual CPUs. The build includes 256GB of RAM, two Tesla P40s (24GB VRAM each), and a Zotac GTX 1080 Ti (11GB VRAM) to help with architecture compatibility. I'm also planning to run a 4-drive SAS storage array.

Since I'm new to the server world, I trusted an AI assistant to pick a case, and I ended up with a Phanteks XT Pro. The specs say it supports E-ATX up to 280mm, so I thought it would fit. Turns out, the AI was wrong about the mounting holes: it seems "desktop" E-ATX standards and "server-grade" E-ATX standards don't always align. I only have 2 out of 9 screws matching, and no extra mounting points to make it secure. I picked this case because of its great mesh airflow, which I thought would be perfect for keeping rack-grade components cool without an actual server rack.

Since I don't have a rack at home, I need some help: could anyone point me towards desktop cases that actually support "server-grade" E-ATX? I'm looking for the specific 2014-era Supermicro standard, not the modern "Asus-style" E-ATX.

Any recommendations for cases that can handle this beast without a custom mod?
