In run a personal instance of forgejo, love it.

Everything I want regarding version control and workers. And more lightweight on the frontend side.

I compliment you for your knowledge 😊

Ali got a nice escrow payment system, when you and the selling party disagree about delivery or quality, you get your money back most of the time.

Did have some issues with deliveries in the past, but always got them resolved or refunded.

No experience with the other platforms, but have done hundreds of purchases using AliExpress, from a few euros to hundred+

Maybe -before making the jump to klipper-, use the ProfessionalFirmware, as Myers was no longer active the last time I checked.

That firmware is a nice improvement over the original, but running Klipper will really improve speed and quality.

Sorry for the reddit link, but this is a really cheap hack, to get a better frame.

Print some parts, add nuts and bolts and use a proper method to adjust the frame.

Other modifications:

• direct drive
• enclosure
• replace the main board or at least adjust the vRefs, check the main board version.
• use Klipper to let it calculate the compensation for linear advance
• print something like a brissfang (also compatible with a microswiss direct drive) to get better part-cooling.
• camera
• replace the bed springs with silicone

This exactly. Just ask for some location rights in the app and get access to wifi also.

Most users don't mind giving an app a large amount of access and in doing so, a lot of personal information gets exposed.

If you have a choice, use a website.

LMGTFY

Use zip, rar or other tooling to split it into parts and reassemble on the destination.

Or use another filesystem, compatible with both targets.

Really love the flym reader. Just works, no ads.

SuperSlicer, nightly builds from GitHub.

I use OpenSCAD to have a declarative method to 'design' boxes for my electronic projects. So boxes and lids with hinges and stuff.

When I need something with accurate measurements but a more complex design, FreeCad is the go-to tool. Sprockets, PS5 controller loading-station, bolts and nuts.

Blender probably can be used too, but I have never used it.

If the printer runs a Marlin variation as firmware (Ender probably does), you can run octoprint on a Raspberry pi or more powerful stuff. Running in docker should be doable, you just need to route the serial-usb connection into the container running ocotoprint. Klipper user with Mainsail on a RPI4 here, no experience with a dockerized octoprint.

The most slicers have some calibration prints to tune flow/temperature etc. Do them before starting that 9 hour print job..

Designing stuff: FreeCad and OpenSCAD. Lots of YouTube material for educational purposes.

Regarding the printer, this depends on the make/model/manufacturer, but the more serious people (not starting a flame war here, just my observation) tend to use Klipper. Most printers run some form of Marlin, but most can run Klipper as an alternative firmware.

And there are the slicers.... A huge amount of choice here, but one way or the other, most are forks/spinoffs of previous work. Personal choice here is SuperSlicer, mostly due to its interface and me being too lazy to use OrcaSlicer of one of the other options.

But beware: tuning, measuring adjusting will take a lot of time. And the entire 3d printing community likes is.

And that probably won't be the end.

Very happy (and after 2 years usage still extremely unskilled) with FreeCad.

Noticed someone mentioning this (the product ) last weekend and did a next-next-finish install on some old hardware.

This is really nice, got me some nice actions running already.

I used to build locally and use git, cgit and Trac, but will probably move everything to forgejo.

Would it help, to add a switch in the potentiometer path? When you disconnect ground from the potentiometer, will the stove shutdown gracefully?

That could be a simple way..

No HACS support out of the box. (HA as docker)

The only use for RPI is kodi and Mainsail for the printer. All of them boot from NFS, so no storage issues. Everything else is x86-64 or docker containers on those Intel/amd machines.

Oh boy this sucks... I'm running a ender 3v2 with a pi4 and created a custom USB cable without the 5V connected, just to be on the save side.

Creality should really do a better job..

They should call doppelmayr and get some proper hardware installed.. every single ski lift in Austria is better equipped..

This is nice! When in need, this can be a life saver. Thank you!
