    What did you do today?

    First time I've bought keyboard switches as standalone packs, they're Kailh Choc low profile in red. But they're not for keyboards- these are going into custom, portable lever-less fighting game controllers that I'll be 3D printing the enclosures to. The prints came out looking very good, albeit...

    GPU Review: Low Profile & Single Slot RTX A2000 8GB / 3050Ti 8GB from TaoBao

    It was the review from ServeTheHome. You can watch at the 7 minute mark where there are complaints about the recessed nub in the back interfering with some cards they installed (and they had tested many PCIe cards). For some of the cards they had to completely remove the entire plastic piece on...

    GPU Review: Low Profile & Single Slot RTX A2000 8GB / 3050Ti 8GB from TaoBao

    Ah, same as on the ASL card, no PWM control. There are some ways to lower fan speed with a resistor cable mod, but I sold it sooner than I could have wanted to mod it. I don't expect low profile cards to be ultra silent. For me if it makes more of a wooshing sound with no definite pitch (like in...

    GPU Review: Low Profile & Single Slot RTX A2000 8GB / 3050Ti 8GB from TaoBao

    Is the noise comparable to the ASL single slot GTX 1050? I believe you had used that card once. Having a storefront for Aliexpress would be great for me, too. I do a lot of shopping there and would prefer to using SuperBuy/TaoBao.

    Production k_ses: k3.93L ( 4070 Ti Super Ventus 2X @ 5.29L )

    I like the solution here, hybrid of 3D printed vents with metal when cutting extra holes in metal is too costly. And you can swap to using different patterns if you want. Alternatively for the I/O shield, one can buy an all purpose mesh shield and cut out the necessary areas from it.

    Log My handheld PC projects

    A keyboard isn't exactly a priority as it's still going to be more gaming-oriented. So for input, I'm focusing on gamepad controls for now. Just like the Win Max 2, it would have a dual analog stick layout in the top area, the with possibility of buttons for extra functions in the top middle...

    Log My handheld PC projects

    I haven't done any work on the Framework handheld case design as finding parts for it that can fit well proved a bit too challenging. I'd have to go about it in one of two ways: Make the case at least 2 inches longer or 2 inches taller. I chose taller. The handheld is no longer going to be a...

    Log Pocket Sandwich: 1.6 liter LattePanda 3 Delta build with dedicated GPU

    For the riser cable I used an ADT-link m.2 to PCIe 3.0 cable of 5cm length, the exact model for the angle is R43NL. It included a SATA to FDD cable for power but I wanted all black cables so I bough this set of black FDD cables and cut them to solder to the barrel connector that gets power...

    What did you do today?

    In my case, it's to add a hardware device quirk for a particular screen I use, since the product's name and vendor are not listed in the source files for it. The DMI match is a very specific use case, so unsure if this would actually be a patch that I'd add to the public version of the build.

    What did you do today?

    I'm attempting to compile an operating system on a machine with 8GB RAM and a 4 core CPU... I must be mad. But I'm gradually stamping out compile step errors and gradually getting closer to building all the packages with each hurdle I overcome. Plus, I get to say I added a patch to the Linux...

    Log Pocket Sandwich: 1.6 liter LattePanda 3 Delta build with dedicated GPU

    Yeah, the 2x slot is a bottleneck, but even with this card it's still considerably better graphics performance than the integrated GPU. Beyond that, the DDR4 being in single channel might also limit performance. There is a LattePanda Sigma with a 4x Gen 4 slot and TB4 port, but it is also...

    GPU Low Profile GPU Potential/Discussion

    Should be a good step up from the A2000. Someone has to convert this bad boy into a single slot size for more performance/size.

    Log Pocket Sandwich: 1.6 liter LattePanda 3 Delta build with dedicated GPU

    I've had a LattePanda 3 Delta for a couple of months and while playing around with it, already having done a Windows setup with a low profile graphics card attached via m.2 riser adapter- not a bad setup for its specs and still capable at 1080p gaming. It's a humble Radeon WX 4100 Polaris card...

    "OGRE-250" .67L OCuLink eGpu module, using HDPlex GAN 250w

    Looks like I might jump on the OCuLink train with an eGPU after I learned to like the LattePanda 3 Delta again. It's no chump for less demanding games, but it also has a M.2 slot available for PCIe card expandability. I have a Radeon WX 4100 that has proven to work with the LattePanda using...

    Discussion Question regarding demand for 3D printed case designs.

    Yeah, I've had some modest sales with selling case design files on Cults3D, but nothing to write home about. I eventually made them free to download. I second on a hybrid approach with the materials. Then you have more options for appearance. Lazer3D also sold cases as combination of 3D printed...
