  • Did you use a raft? If you did then stop using it (skirt and/or brim should be enough in most cases), if not than adjust Z offset and try again.

    Otherwise your print looks good, but for improvement you should do:

    • temperature calibration
    • flow calibration
    • retraction calibration

    There are many guides and models online, but I print hollow single wall cube for temp and flow. Its quick print and you can test layer bond by braking it with your fingers

  • I use syncthing, it works fine, but sometimes it doesnt sync, I have to open syncthing on my phone and also on PC to triger sync. If I open same file on both devices it just creates copy so you end up with 2 files Edit: I use obsidian for notes

  • Start with hardware you have already, its high likely overkill anyway. If you have CPU that supports quicksync (intel 7th gen or newer iirc) you could remove GPU to reduce power consumption. QuickSync will make streaming easy.

    Raspberry pi cant transcode so its not best for media server, but it can direct play so that might not be an issue at all. I upgraded from rpi to desktop PC because I had issues with power on rpi USB ports for storage. Its also impossible to upgrade RAM on rpi. Good thing about rpi is super low power consuption, but some small factor PCs can drain ~10W. My PC was at 22W with 3 SSD. You can get power meter like Shelly plug S to see power consuption yourself.

    Any OS (I use debian) of your choice + docker and docker-compose. Then install portainer and manage all services from there.

    • For pictures try Immich, its amazing.
    • For cloud storage Nextcloud
    • For media streaming consider Jellyfin (much better than Plex IMO)
    • Check wiki.servarr.com if you are downloading content with torrents or usenet. It can automate everything and provide awesome UI for users. Next level torrenting
    • If you have only 1-2 users consider Wireguard or tailscale to connect when not at home.

    I was going this route and Im super happy with everything

  • Afaik scanning will require extra tuning steps. Alternatively you can take rough measurements of few cross sections, then print them on paper, cut the contours and check how it fits, make adjustments and repeat until you are satisfied

  • What makes it different from running official docker container? This demo login screen looks exactly the same, but doesnt work tho. Screenshot from the link looks the same as well

  • Yeah I saw that, but not sure how it works in detail tbh. Anyway, I had 10GB that increased to 200GB recently and it cost me 2$ since April this year. That was for storage and few downloads to test bckups. I trck the cost and so far Im happy

  • How?

  • Maybe its best to put it away for some time and then come back to it when you feel its time. I mean, its a hoby and it can be frustrating, but its worth IMO. Dont forget its a machine and not a plug-and-play device.

    Im in this hoby for 10ish years and I never had a leak. Probbly because I was reading about that even before I got my first printer. I did have many other issues and failures, but they almost never happen anymore. Most of the crap stopped after I got Ultimaker 2, but I believe experience is the main reason.

    Like others said, your nozzle wasnt sealed (tightened) against the heat brake properly. You have to heat up your hotend before tightening, but dont use full strength or you might break your nozzle.

    Now you can clean it up or just replace heatbrake and nozzle, at least parts are available everywhere
