Switch: 10Gb RJ45 Router: 10GB RJ45 NAS: 10Gb RJ45

Seems a shame to not have 10G-baseT on my desktop.

I have an older home built machine, built on a MSI Tomahawk B450. I'm not looking to upgrade at the moment, but I have an empty PCIe 2.1 x16 slot.

I don't expect to be able to guarantee 10Gb ethernet speeds with my motherboard and CPU, but I'd like to get close. I've seen that Intel X540 NICs don't have any power saving/thermal modes, so they should be avoided. Aquantia apparently was acquired be Marvell and basically ignored to death -- and the AQC113 has rumors of an unfixable bug that sometimes leads to it not being recognized at system boot. Realtek doesn't have a chips/boards available yet, and Broadcom costs two arms, two legs, and three noses.

Any suggestion on what to get? Bonus for PCIe 2.1x16 over PCIe 3x8, really want to stay under $100US.

I just received an unexpected SLA printer from what I had assumed was a failed Kickstarter for the "Coolsiga FinderOne" or C1 or Classic. The manual is clearly intended for someone who has some context, but my past experience has been entirely FDM based.

I'm not claiming it's a good manual by any stretch of the imagination, nor am I confident that it will work -- but is there an "Dummies Guide to SLA Printers" I can read through to at least know what it's talking about?

Hi - Tenlog TLD3-Pro, printing with branx new Overture PLA+, printing an OpenSCAD exported STL sliced with Cura 5.7.1 (most recent as of yesterday).

I'm printing first level at 0.3mm thickness, but the print is irregularly too thick in height -- and not by a little bit, a lot. I've lowered the temperature to 190. I've physically lowered the bed to the point that the skirt didn't print, then raised it just barely back. I've reduced the flow rate to 85%, and I'm still getting the same results. I've lowered the build plate temperature, no change.

The skirt might be a tough high in spots, but I'm ending up with the first level of a prime tower that looks like this.

Any ideas? What else can I try?
