I (Danish) am married to an American and it was easier for me to get a US green card, than for her to get a residence permit in Denmark. After living some time in the US we decided to move to Denmark and while it’s great to live here, it was a freaking painstaking process to get her a permit.
I always felt like Modern was cheaper in the long run than Standard. Spending hundreds of dollars every few months on a new set didn’t speak to me. Whereas I could buy a few cards here and there to upgrade me modern decks.
Was in Kissimmee. We were forced into the apartment complex internet plan and it only included WiFi. No Ethernet ports in the apartment just a WiFi unit where you had to approve MAC addresses for access.
Super frustrating. Ended up buying a router, that would bridge the WiFi and offer Ethernet to my Pi and desktop.
What I do is using OliveTin behind a reverse proxy (traefik with auth) on a Pi. I then have a button in olivetin that sends WoL commands through local network to turn in my ‘big’ server. You can probably run it without issues on a Pi0.
Alternatively, if you have a VPN to your home network, is using an app on your phone to send WoL commands when connected to the VPN. I have tested with both ‘Magic Packet’ and ‘Net Status’ on iOS through WireGuard.
Been doing a couple of test prints with 30-80% variable fan speed and it’s actually pretty good looking with almost no stringing.
I unfortunately don’t have an enclosure, else I would for sure try and higher fan speed. Ad a slight draft this morning and my calibration cube print popped off half way through.
Dude! I just checked AliExpress for the Sunlu S1 Plus when I saw your message and was able to get one for $39 (shipped from Germany)! Thank you for that idea!
Replaced the nozzle, heat block (heating element, sensor, PTFE) and fan duct.
Wasn’t able to unscrew the nozzle (got stuck 80% out) so I replaced the whole thing.
Did two new temp towers:
Left tower is 235 (top) to 260 (layers labeled 280-260 are all 260). Right is 220-240.
How would an i5 6500T compare to a mini pc with an N100 or N305 like the beelink?
I’m serious debating if I should get a beelink (or equivalent) with an N100 and 16GB ram or go for an Optiplex with an i5 6500T and 8GB ram. Both are about the same price where I am located.
Im mainly interested in power usage and performance and not so much in upgradability.
I wrote the custom layer change temp code to switch temps and checked in prusaslicer that temp changes occur the right places. (Using the color preview thing)
While printing I also saw that the temp did change where it should.
I think I’ll do a calibration of the feeding, or whatever you call it, where you measure how much filament is extruded. During some of the bridging, it looked like nothing got extruded.
It almost looks like 260 is the best temp. While extruding at this temp, I did heat lots of popping noise, which makes me believe the filament is wet. The noise did not occur at lower temps.
