The amount of waste and time it takes are downright insulting

That’s capitalism - it’ll gladly sell you even its own criticism

SOLUTION: runs contrary to common knowledge, but what ultimately helped was:

• INCREASING print speed. The usual recommendation is the slower the better, but at that point, there’s no pressure control over the filament
• ENABLING retraction. Again, usual rec is to disable it for flexibles but turns out it alleviates too much backpressure which leads to filament buckling in the extruder

Also printing hotter than mfg recommends: I printed at 260 (10C over recommended maximum).

Thanks to u/Over_Pizza_2578 for pointing me to the right - opposite to everything else - direction.

I’m in the same boat. I’d like to have something like this integrated with Home assistant but Grocy is just ludicrously complex. It’s like SAS for your fridge, only more complex. With rude developers who always know better than everyone else.

For me the responsivity of Klipper UI was reason enough. Octoprint is unbelievably slow on the same hardware. The other thing was ease of configuration - no firmware compilation and flashing necessary. And the third is the actual printing performance - Octoprint has a really bad implementation of the actual print data transfer, and the serial interface routinely chokes on fine data such as arcs. That never happens with Klipper, even at much, much higher print speeds.

VM or container? VM is easier and can be usually configured even via Proxmox GUI (Hardware - Add PCI). Various OSes need various levels of effort. Some Linux distros don’t need any more config, Windows on the other hand required a custom GPU ROM on my system to work.

This can be done even with a single GPU, even the built in iGPU.

I’ll probably buy more of this pink ABS, I find it very pretty

So you use the free thing wrong, don’t RTFM, vent on internet and then vent some more when corrected? What’s your end game?

She does ❤️ thanks :)

Looks like an user error to me. Influx is for long-term storage of history and data, you don’t need it for automation at all.

Absolutely wrong. I have dozens of devices integrated, from a lot of brands, all working. You can of course try to get a turnkey solution from like Loxone, but be prepared to pay thousands of dollars, and good luck adding anything that’s not in their ecosystem. And there’s a lot of that. And what is there is all pretty outdated.

Xiaomi is great and I use a lot of their stuff, but the options for automation are severely limited.

Exactly :)

I have, but I’ve reached the point where I can just send stuff to it and it materalizes, without lots of tweaking and tuning, and I intend to keep it that way for a while :) as you probably know, upgrading these printers usually means fucking everything up and gradually rebuilding

thanks! oh boy, I don’t have the time for finding specific info and models, but

• PEI sheet
• metal BMG extruder clone from Aliexpress
• hotend cooling fan is a 4020 for lower noise
• shroud is an enlarged stock-like one to accomodate the bigger fan
• PSU fan is a large 8020 with buck converter to lower RPM, with printed case and grille
• drawer, handlebar, base fan cover, filament guide, tool holder and toolbox all from Thingiverse
• my own holder for the Xiaomi phone acting as a screen for Klipper (my first model :)
• Rpi3 with Klipper in the ugly box on the left (printed wrong orientation, it’s bottom up)
• Capricorn PTFE tube
• printed springy feet for lower vibrations
• BLTouch clone by Fysetc
• yellow springs
• Creality 4.2.7 silent board as I have somehow managed to fry the default one, plus it’s gloriously silent

What’s absolutely essential is the dual-gear extruder and the PEI bed. All the other stuff are nice-to-haves.

My kitted out Ender 3 with pink ABS accessories I have added over the years. I like the black/pink color combo.

Mostly professional support.

Because it doesn’t matter, you can customize them all however you like

Thanks!

I want that! What is it?
