Edit: multi layout that shows the contents instead of just title would be nice too
I would love a replacement for keep. I'm currently running nextcloud and the UI differences or lack of android widgets are keeping my wife from switching. Most of of your list already has great replacements that exist but for some reason a keep competitor that is current just doesn't exist
Carnet is a nextcloud app that comes pretty close and but it needs a TON of TLC on the server side. I keep telling myself I'll work on it but life gets in the way. If you have time and know node/php I would suggest looking there instead of making yet another note app. Nextcloud can handle sharing and has some encryption stuff as other plugins etc. Otherwise keep posting here, I would love to follow your progress.
Are you using your router as DNS and DHCP? With Verizon I had a security setting that was blocking public DNS entries to resolving to local addresses. I can't remember what it's called, but it's to prevent a certain type of attack. For a while I disabled it but switching to pihole as DNS, DHCP and using unbound solves it without the security implications
I went from a sidewinder x1 to a 300 2.4 and I love it. The built was a lot of work but it was extremely rewarding. Once you get it full set up it's consistent just load and print, but if you are not confident in your ability to tinker don't do it. I set up a custom webcam mount, a custom nozzle wiper modled after bambos, a nevermore filter and frame thermal expansion then invested a ton of time in start up scrips and now it's no work to print anything but it was a lot to get there. If you go this route skip the drag chains and go umbilical, that's my one regret.
Edit: also consider going 350, you lose a lot of z with mods etc, I would also have gone 350 instead sorry.
My company is absolutely taking advantage of the H1Bs. They just did a huge round of "move to head quarters and take a pay cut or leave with severance". Anecdotal, but it seemed to mostly target H1Bs. Every single one I know said they basically have to or return home because they don't know if the government will even function to processes new sponsorships if they found one.
Carnet on Nextcloud is currently the "closest" I've found but it needs a ton of TLC. Sharing notes currently only works on the dev build. I keep telling myself I'll fix it but can't find the time. If anyone wants some open source contributions the maintainer has asked for help
I can't compare it to the cad examples but meshmixer is definitely easier to use for small stl edits than blender, especially for things like cutting and keying parts. If you are just trying to make a pin smaller or hole larger, editing the xyz of specific points in blender may be easier depending on shape. Good luck!
I was in a simiar boat, but once I started learning it really took off and I couldn't find enough things to model/fix! I started with meshmixer, it's pretty simplified but still somewhat powerful and I think Windows only. Once I found stuff I couldn't do with it I switched to blender and now I'm much faster with it. I found there are some things each implements better so if having an issue I'll switch and try something else. I highly recommend picking one and watching youtube videos specific to what you want to change in a model
Edit: you may be able to get by on some of the connectors by lowering flow too, depends on how dialed in your printer is, everyone needs different tolerances
To add, you may not need to worry too much about setting up a firewall if your machine is behind a router/gateway that also has a firewall. There are arguments both ways, I would suggest researching that some. I did it because I could so why not, but I also only have wireguard exposed publicly so it may be over kill
I too read that it didn't work with docker but that was not my experience on Ubuntu 24.04. Maybe it's just docker desktop but I had all sorts of other issues with docker desktop and ditched it for plain docker, using lazydocker for an interface. I think one of the issues for outgoing connections at least is that IPs for the containers can change. I don't remember exactly what my setup is currently but you shouldn't have an issue opening up just specific ports mapped to a container while having default deny incoming.
Not specific to containers but there are a few different Linux commands to get all ports and the processes listening on them, I used them extensively to debug my firewall setup. I can't remember them either off the top of my head but you should be able to google for your distro.
It drives me crazy that notes does not reorganize the list when you check things, but that's probably because it's just markdown. My wife also refuses to use it. Carnet is the google keep like alternative that I think would work for me, but the sharing isn't working currently, whenever the note is updated the share is removed.
Somewhat off topic but I've been using this lately and it's great https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker. If all you want is a ui over docker this may be better than going all in on something like portainer
It's been a while since I've printed but I think both my sidewinder and voron do this. I don't remember having it after switching to abs. Painted on supports and wider extrusions helped a ton if I remember correctly. Good luck!
It could be a lot of things. Temperature is a big one, are you letting the bed heat up completely for a consistent amount of time before each print, could heat be impacting your measurements, some things measure different when heated a bit? You probably aren't printing enclosed, but my voron for example expands upwards almost an entire layer over the first hour of printing. Is there an intermittent air flow that could be impacting how hot your bed really is?
Have you verified there is no slop or backlash in your z lead screws and connections? I had decent results on my sidewinder using POM anti backlash nuts. Same for the stability of your measuring tool.
Have you checked that it's not z tilt from turning off the motors between prints?
Honestly if your going to go through all this effort to make this work, and already have a pi, I would suggest instead upgrade the control board to something with extra fan headers, led heads, etc and switch to klipper, there have to be guides out there for your specific printer
Powering the fan from gpio pins probably isn't going to work out well either, they are 3.3v and 5v. Powering the fan from the PSU is going to be similar to powering a pi off it, I believe you should step the voltage down to what each needs, where the fan is 24v I think the pi is 5v. Your PSU is probably 115 or 220 v. For connectors I would expect to have to redo them yourself with micro fit, molex, jst or w/e you want and can get. On some of mine I just did single pin molex on the pins of the white female connector for fan headers, it doesn't lock but it works if you don't have a lot of movement. This page is awesome for connectors info https://www.mattmillman.com/info/crimpconnectors/common-jst-connector-types/
