One of my friends came across this on eBay some time ago, not sure who credit for this amazing work. To suit the 1.4Ghz upgraded motherboard? The biggest problem is finding thinner 80mm fans that are of quality, in my opinion. I've been down this road with a couple of people already... You've got me tempted to go down to the local machine shop and get the OG heatsink milled down, LoL...

Unfortunately, it won't fit a 1.4GHz Tualatin CPU upgraded motherboards due to the extra height of the heatsink. The heatsink could be trimmed to fit though I have not seen anyone do this. There are cleaner heatsink installs getting around, but I don't think these mods are available to the public as yet. Alternatively, a "Trusty" 1.0Ghz Coppermine CPU upgrade which doesn't increase the height of the heatsink will work.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas. For those that weren't aware that I had a few weeks break over the holidays and am now slowly getting back into the swing of things. Finally came to a conclusion on which filament I will be using from now and would like to discuss a couple of things in regards to 3D printing in general. Filament: I ended up settling on Polymaker's "Polylite PLA+ Pro" filament which is considerably more expensive than most other filament brands but is well worth it. Print quality has noticeably improved, layers are very consistent, almost no stringing, great bed adhesion and not a single print has failed yet. I can start prints without having to worry about anything going wrong, overnight prints won't be a problem. When I tried eSun and Sunlu I had nothing but problems and many prints would fail mostly due to poor bed adhesion. Overall the print quality was acceptable but would have considerable stringing and would need cleaning up by hand. I found I had to spend a lot more time on bed leveling and monitoring prints. I would set my alarm every hour to make sure I checked on the prints of any potential failures. 1kg roll of eSun/Sunlu PLA+ costs around $25aud and a 1kg roll of Polylite PLA+ Pro costs $40aud. Even though eSun and Sunlu costs $15aud less per roll they end up costing me more than they save due to failed prints, especially when it comes to longer prints such as the HDD and Dual Fan Caddy's not to mention the extra time and effort I have to put into checking prints and cleaning them up by hand. Now if you print as much as I do you'll see how this all adds up quickly, I've already recommended Polymaker filament to others, whom are also having a better experience using premium filament. 3D Printers: Whenever I buy something important, I always do my research but the problem with 3D printer reviews and YouTube videos is how misleading they can be. One video on the Ender-3 the host deliberately broke off the hotend with a shifter before he had even had a chance to turn it on and test it. This was a reviewer with significant followers which then proceeded to give the Ender-3 a bad review. What annoys me the most is comparison videos, for example comparing and Ender-3 to a Prusa. Which by the way are very comparable printers until you factor in the price, where you can get 3x or even 4x Ender-3's for the price of 1x Prusa. The question should be how does 1x Prusa compare to 3x Ender-3 S1 Pro's. Well it doesn't, I now have 3x times the print speed at equal print quality. Having 3x printers gives me redundancy, if one printer were to breakdown and need repairs I can continue to print with the other two, not to mention wear and tear is now divided by 3x printers. My plan is to update my 3D Printers every couple of years or so and Bambu Labs printers do look promising which are being sold at a much better price than Prusa. A couple of P1P's would be equivalent to 4x Ender-3 S1 Pro's from what I can tell, maybe even more. In the meantime, I'm still getting excellent prints with my Ender-3 S1 Pro's and replacement parts are still readily available so I'm in no hurry to upgrade them for some time. I think the biggest thing that makes a print good or not is the slicing profile one is using. I put a lot of time and effort into my slicing profiles and shouldn't need to modify them again anytime soon.

They are not errors... I don't think that Polymer Caps were available in those specific value's. Package and physical dimensions would have played a role too. I may have discussed it on the BadCaps forum but I'm not sure. Search for a 3300uF Polymer Capacitor and you'll see what I mean... 3300 uF Aluminium Organic Polymer Capacitors – Mouser Australia

I'm trying to focus on the discussion at hand but you seem to continuously get distracted! Do you think we could talk about the same specific thing instead of going off track all the time? I'm trying to but you're not making it easy... I need some reassurances that I or anyone else offering insight into this project do NOT become the target of malicious behavior of any kind whatsoever. I don't think you can blame me for being cautious considering your and MakeMHz's recent actions...

No, I shouldn't need permission from you but it still doesn't stop MakeMhz from abusing DMCA. Not like MakeMHz does everything on he's own. Who designed the Legacy HD addon? How do I properly test the software without having the hardware? You can't build a house until you've laid a good foundation...

A simple "No" would have been enough... You don't need to start insulting the community, you wonder why people respond to you the way they do. Was that reactionary too? Point being if I am unable to so much post the schematic for the Stellar Elim Module then how exactly do you expect me to show everything else that's involved including technical details as you had requested. If it's okay with you I would like to ask @OGXbox Admin permission to post the Stellar Elim Mod schematic. I'm happy to forward the schematic to OGXbox Admin for inspection before doing so... It is my schematic, I should be able to do with it as I please.. So... We good?

Could you just answer the questions please...

Agreed, there's nothing special about it at all... So then there should be no issue in me releasing the schematic for it? Anything wrong with devs from the community in using that device to make a firmware of their own?

Your jumping the gun a little don't you think? I will need working hardware to be able to even test the software. Any chance you could answer this?

Sure you and Dustin won't get upset? Last thing we need is more malicious behavior and false DMCA claims! Could you agree that the Stellar Elim Module is of my own design and not a clone of your Legacy HD addon?

Even if that includes information that MakeMHz would prefer not to be posted? Don't think my solution to this is going to work to your advantage. Can easily do this using nothing but publicly available documentations.

Likewise... Simple, Dustin has a huge problem with anything that presents any meaningful competition. What he is doing is anti-competitive behavior, there was absolutely no need for him to acquire these sites. Perhaps if he were preserving TeamXodus site I would understand that, but we are just redirected to MakeMHz. EDIT: Not to mention that MakeMHz abuses the TeamXodus domain to issue DMCA claims. Below is yet another perfect example of Dustin's narcissistic behavior towards others. I was discussing these things openly on my other thread until you among others took it upon yourself to attack yet another developer that showed signs of making a competing device, I don't discuss these things anymore due to these attacks. All I will be doing is giving you more ammunition in finding more things to complain about. Textbook narcissism... The biggest issue people have with MakeMHz is how you guys treat others. You guys have led countless attacks on people, including your own customers. I haven't seen any apologies made in regard to the many false DMCA takedowns. Including myself which you yourself acknowledged that was uncalled for. Absolutely no respect or appreciation is shown towards people outside your small little circle. Don't believe everything MakeMHz say, much of it is misleading and false... And how petty can MakeMHz get? ACE buys 6x XboxHD+ over 2 separate orders, upon receiving the parcels all 6x sets of Flex cables and QSBs are missing. And it doesn't seem that MakeMHz intends on sending ACE what he paid for. Guess I'm just gonna have the get the Flex cables and QSB's designs I have manufactured just to help Dustin's own customers who he decides to actively screw over! The whole reason I made the Flex cables and QSB a couple years back was because MakeMhz tried to screw me over. I basically started telling people that if they wanted me to install a XboxHD+ that they would have to order/supply it for themselves.

Sure, once I'm on top of my commitments for the day. Can't promise I will have time to reply in detail today. Those notes were still open on my browser this morning, figured I'd post them before closing all the tabs...
