One of the first services on my server was nextcloud in docker container from lsio. Never had problems so there was no need to try AIO, but so many people recommend that, it will be my next setup if this one fails me

Enclosure will protect printer from dust and it will also keep the ambient temperature more stable. Dont make it hermetic sealed, better add few holes on the front and few on the back for example. I have a low rpm fan with dust filter because I mostly print PLA and in long prints (12h+) temperature can go a bit too high if there is no airflow at all. Keep in mind that enclosure should be removed sometimes for mintainance, removable sides is what you should look for.

You can leave filament on the printer, but if you dont use it for a long time it could get wet and then you have to dry it. Keep the rest of the spools in plastic sealed box or bag and put some silica gel inside.

Full calibration should be done once, but fine tuning when you face some issues or when you change to different brand or filament type. It depends how well the printer is assembled and how experienced you are, it can take only 5 min every few months, but begginers can spend days sometimes.

Extra tips: clean your rails and wheels whenever you can (once a month at least) for dusty garage. Get a kitchen sponge, drill a hole in it and guide filament trough the hole to remove any dust before extruder.

Welcome to the most fun hoby and happy printing!

If OP cant use more than one disk at once, how can they benefit from mergerfs?

Im not afraid of command line, but also dont feel like linux guy yet. The thing is that installing and using some distros are way easier than windows. I installed POP OS recently and cant believe how smooth and easy it was. Average windows users might not need command line at all on distro like that

I went for wireguard VPN instead of exposing services. Its much more safe afaik, but you have to configure each device you want to give access (aka scanning QR code). You also dont need to buy a domain for that. Exposed services would be easier to use, especially if you want to use it on many devices

Thx for sharing, looks awesome

Prusa is more expensive and better mostly because its built better, not because of software. Any open source (marlin) board can be updated by user and its also easy to flash klipper for example.

Constant readjustments are due to bad design and no QC. If you want more reliable printer dont look for knockoffs. My first printer was prusa knockoff, it looks better than prusa, steel frame with no printed parts, but its not even close. Its collecting dust now

Whats the point of botting posts from reddit to lemmy? Trying to make lemmy more active or something else?

You are underextruding, but it would also help if you add few more top layers. You have gaps in walls as well. You might be underextruding due to wrong flow (or esteps) or too low temp, but there are other possible reasons as well. Try printing at 105% flow

Looks like top 7 can be mounted in place of main gun and 5 on the bottom below.

BTW OP this looks amazing, hard to tell what skill is better, 3D modeling, printing or photography :D

I agree with you mate, but how do you deal with long prints like 12 - 24h? Im printing at home for many years and since day 1 I plan to get some fire protection like ampoule. There are no signs of fire hazard in OPs failure, but your comment made me think again and maybe Ill stop being lazy and cheap. Gonna do some research right away

Looks awesome. looks like you have some beefy USB cables 😀
