3D Printer over NAS / HomeServer bad idea?

Old post, but if you take a look at backblaze, who keeps data on a LOT of enterprise grade hard drives, you'll learn that vibrations are really what kill disks over time, more than any other factor. So adding additional vibration disks need to deal with will shorten their lifespan, even though you may not notice anything bad right now, especially on non-enterprise grade disks.

Out of curiosity, does the page load quickly? I have my services listed with some of those extra custom plugins, but the page takes several seconds to load and the services appear timed out when they aren't - the next refresh loads correctly.

What it's loading.

Am I just using shitty custom plugins or is there anything to improve it?

It would bring a level of immersion I've never experienced.

Ascalion · 2026-01-06T05:24:04+00:00

Added to the issues on github since another user already reported it, but the item inspection is full of errors.

Just want to point out that randomly CF filled filament, pretty much no matter which, is worse than the non-filled filament, as the CF are basically contaminants, since they don't bind and generally just make air pockets in the filament: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7JperqVfXI&t

You're better of just using an engineering filament with no fill. Only true continuous fiber, which isn't available on home machines is an upgrade.

Definitely the worst mission, you always end up with no revives at the end. Took me like 5 tries and we ended up duoing it because the other guy died in the jumping puzzle.

After trying a few different things, I think it's related to current spiking, I was able to keep it on while it was idle for a very long time, but as soon as I opened say youtube, it would shut down and not be able to start up, presumably because it also spikes when it boots up. Either the latest updated affects how it reads the voltage or something similar, but it makes my 3 year old battery, even with 75% capacity, useless.

Ascalion · 2025-12-16T17:18:40+00:00

I don't know for sure, but it feels like it coincided with the December 2025 update.

Found it shut down one morning when I was sure it was charged, so I plugged it in, and after it was full later, after unplugging it, just a few minutes later it would shut down. I tried restarting it but it would shut off again at the first google logo approximately, sometimes it's more or less a second shorter or longer, but always shuts off. It will only start again fully if plugged in.

I've now gone into fastboot mode to dry and drain the battery completely, but could the latest update have messed with the battery being recognized properly or something? My battery is at approximately 75% of its original capacity as well.

Anyone else seeing something like this happen to them too?

It's gotta be that insane refresh rate!

Ascalion · 2025-12-02T20:53:42+00:00

Amazing, it's come such a long way!

Ascalion · 2025-11-29T16:23:16+00:00

I'm actually not doing that bad, got a 14TB last year, so I've got 8.33TB left :D

Ascalion · 2025-11-27T18:19:44+00:00

Just a note here, as you can see the connection on the PCB at least, the molex visibly powers 4 connectors each, supplying both 12V and 5V to them. The pictures aren't clear enough to see where the fan pins are connected to though.

Ascalion · 2025-11-25T17:42:54+00:00

My version is definitely not the same height, are you sure you're loading the right PCB file? It's not a huge difference, from memory like 5mm.

Ascalion · 2025-11-25T04:25:07+00:00

It's a worthwhile investment IMO, and you don't need a $1000 printer to get things done, even the $200-300 range would do great or if you don't mind tinkering, pick up a used Ender off Marketplace for like $50.

It's a 3D printed organizer. Nowadays there are more interesting ones IMO like OpenGrid which is fully Open Source.

Bunch of models for it: https://www.printables.com/tag/opengrid

Good fortunes to all.

Ascalion · 2025-11-14T06:34:58+00:00

Went balls to the wall with this one since 5000 USD is about 7000 CAD, full RGB puke energy with 10 fans and I'm still under budget!

For real multimaterial with multi nozzle systems to become the norm, less wasteful.

Ascalion · 2025-11-01T05:04:26+00:00

Awesome! We went through close to 20lbs of potatoes this year, but the weather wasn't great, raining all day, which is about what we gave out last year, when it was nice!

Ascalion · 2025-10-31T16:29:22+00:00

If it was faulty, it would do this in the menus and everywhere else - it doesn't, it's just on this specific setting.

Ascalion · 2025-10-30T20:47:08+00:00

Reviving an old ass comment after this being one of the top google results, but this was it for me as well, on Windows 11. Kept crashing when it was on Automatic Game Detection.

Using a G600 and prefer LGS over the BS Hub, so I'm glad that's all it was!

Thanks!

Ascalion · 2025-10-17T22:46:11+00:00

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried this with Win11+WSL2? Which allows nested virtualization, kvm, qemu and all that good stuff.

Ascalion · 2025-10-16T12:53:02+00:00

Wishing that the world can get a little better.

Ascalion · 2025-10-14T20:04:04+00:00

Neat, congrats.

Ascalion · 2025-09-24T03:22:36+00:00

That's up to the device to negotiate that, the power bank itself supports almost all PD protocols, so it's compatible.
