  1. Another owner here, I can't stand having this printer on in my office because of the loud idle fan.
  2. Thanks for this post, I just used this method to unclog my Bowden tube! Some Colorfabb Bronzefill filament had been crushed too much by the feeder so it was too wide to fit through the tube properly and got stuck. I couldn't hold the tube or push on the filament hard enough to see any progress after removing the tube from the printer. So I filled a skillet halfway with water and boiled it, then turned off the heat. Then I used two twist-ties to coil the clogged tube so it could be fully submerged as shown in the photo. After letting the tube spend about a minute underwater to reach temperature, pushing the filament out was effortless.
  3. I'm on a Precision 5510 with the M100M processor, and I had the same problem. It did it even though I'm using an external 1080p monitor with the 4K screen disabled. I fixed the issue by going to the NVIDIA Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings, and setting the Preferred Graphics Processor for Cura to "High-Performance NVIDIA Processor". It probably uses a little more battery, but the graphics issue is fixed. @ahoeben thanks for the suggestion that it's the Intel drivers, that led to my finding this solution.
