Except winter when heater is on, it’s nearly always over 50-60% (and up to 75). I almost never dry my filament, but i work most of time with one open spool at a time. Once opened, my spool last between few days to couple of weeks. With high humidity (65 and over) i usually start to get strings after about a week. Never had strings with 45% humidity except spool that arrived already humid

Nothing really new actually, this plugin has been there for some time.

You can find resources for each categories but don’t think there is one that would cover everything and the reason is there is always several ways to do things and not one way for all.

First you need to choose an OS. You have a few choices here, a good way to start if you don’t have much knowledge on linux command, docker… is to use something like Casa OS, Zima OS which are much more beginner friendly, it basically has a store where you can pick what you need to selfhost. If you already feel more confident and want absolute full control you can use proxmox instead.

Once you settled your OS, you need to pick what to use sleefhost image, music… Here you have again several solutions, you can check immich for pictures, jellyfin for music/video, home assistant for smart home.

Mainboard and psu are the ones to take care the most but keep in mind that not all filament like to be printed in fully closed enclosure (without proper ventilation), PLA for exemple.

One way to monitor and secure my printer is to use smart devices. I have home assistant running at home, my printer has an integration available and i can recover several printer informations like status, temps, printing time… and i have several smart devices (mostly zigbee) which i use to monitor and apply automation based on scenarios. (temperature sensor, smoke detector, camera, light, plug to power on/off printer). I can then create automation like “when smoke detector has detected smoke, turn off printer, then send picture to my phone and broadcast a message in the house…”. I have maybe 5 different automation running for the printer but the possibilities are endless.

Various report of users and a video that explained the issue. Don’t have sources now, it has been a few months

Be careful if you seal it completely, electronics won’t be able to cool down properly, it needs some fresh air.

Make sure your printer is not on something flammable, have a smoke detector (are common practises for safety). Since the problem is about power draw, and heated bed is what needs the most i got a cool build plate so i’m now printing at 30°c instead or 60°c. Obviously, some could also replace the cheap component bambou has put in but i’m not confident enough with my electric skills.

About the issue, i recall that quite a few A1 got on fire. Bambu denied there was an issue and said it was a user fault. Some guys pointed out a weak component that would just barely support the maximum load printer can use and ranked it as unsafe. No recalls as no issues for Bambu

I would suspect something with tailscale, maybe double check settings or try wireguard

Have used this technique to recover color from brim pilling but didn’t know it would work in that case too. Thanks :)

I don’t know sci-grip, does it leave white marks like super glue?

A pi5 with 1gb ram will always be cheaper but that’s not enough ram for your usecase, search n150 at Aliexpress, you can often find some mini pc for around 150-160€ on sale with n150, 12gb lpddr5 (or 16gb ddr4 sodim) and 500gb SSD. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQ5k2Uu This one was 153€ couple of days ago. Thay are other Chinese brand like soyo, beelink, bmax that have similar hardware. They are not as good as NUC, but they do the job for way cheaper.

Home assistant is a beast, not sure openhab can actually match it today. Unless you already have a pi5 and a SSD (avoid micro sd card), you could consider a mini pc with n150 (or n100) processor. It doesn’t consume much power (close to pi5) and it will be more powerful and more Ram which will be useful for immich.

Start with zigbee first, much more mature than thread. I don’t personaly use thread but i believe some zigbee dongle also can deal with thread at the same time.

About the setup. If mini pc, you can use proxmox so you will be able to create a VM for home assistant and another one for immich.

To just store your printer there if you are not printing isn’t big issue as long as you don’t live in a too humid place, if I was to do that, I would leave printer in his original box to avoid collecting dust on it and would drop a few silicate bags. Two primary issues for printing will be to maintain your filament dry (enough) and warping due to the difference of temperature

That might depends on how your AC is working, I recently did the same at my dad’s house and run into issues because the temp control for the unit is reading from the remote. So when I sent infrared command to turn off unit, it worked as expected for some minutes then turned back on because remote sent back command as temp wasn’t meet. Still need to do a lot of testing to find a way to make it work, might need to disable remote and use some temp sensors for the triggering part but not sure how that will work, might need to use some hysterisis friendly climate addon for that…

First off, I don’t get why someone down voted you for just asking a question… So take my upvote.

There is so many things you can do with home assistant therefore not easy to explain all possibilities, here are a few things that comes to mind.

Many smart home users prefer to not depend on cloud giant and that’s a way to keep it local and keep everything in just one app even if devices are not same brand. It can just trigger light automatically depending of scenarios (if you have earring issue, it can trigger some light when someone rings at the door). You could have switch that are not well placed and are not practical and it enables you to add wireless switches elsewhere. It can also monitor appliances (and/or services) so it can remind you stuff (useful for some people that easily forget things) like emptying washing machine, taking trash out… (No need to add many daily reminder in your agenda which would have single notification that you will wipe out and forget). You can add security cameras and keep them local only. It can remind you to close windows when you just left home or because it started raining. It is also a way to monitor for exemple water leaks so you can react quicker to avoid big damages (imagine a small leak behind a sink which you wouldn’t notice for quite sometimes) same thing applies for smoke detectors, CO2 levels…

The list of things it can do is really endless.

I totally agree with you, like always politician have an idea but don’t even state how to realise it… So possibly this will actually never happen.

One thing that come to my mind is that manufacturer could maybe use some kind of hash database of firearms related files. While printer are not very powerful, that’s something that could be done on slicer but that would mean the death of open source software (at least in USA) as to implement this every manufacturer would need to force customer using their slicer. Also, wondering how much power demanding it is for printer to recreate solid object, could they just read gcode to analyse object? and since guns are not 25cmx25cmx25cm, it’s not like this would take ages to analyse.

Am I understanding this bill wrong? (Not English native)

This is bill is about blocking ability to print firearms related stuff and not about spying customers?

Have you tried epoxy resin? No sanding and layer lines disappear with shiny finish looks

Many users have reported issues where some had a burned hole beneath the printer, due to a thermistor that is barely enough to support the charge. They have discussed this with some Bambulab employee (off camera) at some convention where they said to be aware yet bambulab officially do not want to recognize the issue.
