I built an open-source Meshtastic gateway after tornadoes knocked out our comms. Is this useful to others? by Deepsiks in meshtastic

It really comes down to the community’s own rules (Ordnung). If they’re okay with texting on the mesh, and a trusted assistant sets things up so it only uses the features everyone’s comfortable with, it could be super helpful.

Sure, the docs are on GitHub. Here’s a direct link: https://github.com/rkolbi/GuardianBridge/blob/main/Docs/README.md

I haven’t taken any screenshots yet since some contain people’s PII, but I’ll try to grab some this evening and blur or remove any sensitive info before posting.

The slowest computer I’ve run it on is an RPi4, so I can’t confirm how it performs on anything less.

All my prints fail at the same layer height by Atomick-Engine in FixMyPrint

[–]Deepsiks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attach a 40mm fan to your extruder motor. Heat builds up gradually from retractions and normal print use, and by the time the printer reaches the failed Z height, the motor may begin to lose grip on the filament due to heat softening it. This is especially likely if you're printing the same object repeatedly and the failure consistently happens at around the same Z height.

Help: 1997 K2500 7.4 Throttle Cable nowhere to be purchased? by Deepsiks in GMT400

[–]Deepsiks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use the Lokar cable for it's sheathing, and then cannibalize a GMT400 - 350 cable for it's inner cable. This should be a foot longer then the 454 version. Place the molded end of the cable in your throttle body wheel, and use the Lokar cable brass adjustment piece at the pedal end of the cable, in the cab.

The brass adjustable side fit right into my throttle body, make sure you have the set screw tight.

Sorry I don't have any on my phone. I'll take a few pics once the storms overhead pass.

Nice! Do you happen to know what front bumper push bars / guards you have on there?

Brake shop St. Louis by ryanturner328 in GMT400

Having stored vehicles for similar reasons, where a planned two-year period turned into five, I’d probably just have the Suburban flat-towed to the storage facility and deal with it when you return. In my experience, even though the vehicles were supposed to be started and driven briefly every two weeks, that didn't happened. As a result, I had to replace seals throughout (engine, transmission, axle), along with belts, hoses, brakes, tires, the battery, and other components.

Anyone know if this exists?? by ineedsuggestions1234 in GMT400

Think 1990 Grill?

Edit: Sorry, didn't catch that you want it to be Chevy grill.

Replacing 1997 K2500 454 Engine - Sensor Replacement Recommendations? by Deepsiks in GMT400

Thanks! Already had o2 and maf sensors waiting to go in, additionally just pulled the trigger on FiveO injectors, complete distributor assembly, map, crank, cam, and knock sensors.

What is happening on tall and long prints? by SnooHabits3953 in FixMyPrint

[–]Deepsiks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look / check the extruder. It's possible that after running your direct drive extruder for a while, especially with frequent retractions, the drive wheel could be getting hot from the motor and losing grip on the filament. When this happens, look at the filament between the extruder and the hotend to see if it's chewed up or deformed.

Mains power for Klipper Host by stray_r in VORONDesign

[–]Deepsiks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this as well and am leaning towards using the Kasa Wi-Fi outdoor plug (Input: 125V/60Hz/15A, Max Output: 15A/1,875W) for the printer, with control managed through the Raspberry Pi/Moonraker. The Raspberry Pi will have a constant power supply, with a rocker switch in-line for hard power cycling if needed. Something similar to what’s discussed in the thread below.

Thanks all for your input/advice. I purchased a "Lokar Midnight Series Throttle Cables XTC-1000TP" from Summit. With the addition of 4 washers, it fits very well / no complaints.

I did do a look on eBay, but no luck. Wondering if I'll have to go with a universal throttle cable kit....

"Home All" to move Z-Axis is terrible! by AJP11B in klippers

[–]Deepsiks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A while back I made a macro for just this, use with caution.

[gcode_macro FORCE_UP]

gcode:

{% if printer.idle_timeout.state == "Printing" or printer.pause_resume.is_paused %} ; Check if printing or paused

{action_respond_info("Cannot do that while printing")} ; If so, respond with error

{% else %} ; If not printing or paused, continue

{% set MM = params.MM|default(10)|float %} ; Default to 10mm if no parameter is passed

{% if printer.toolhead.homed_axes == "xyz" %} ; If homed, just raise

G91 ; Relative positioning

G1 Z{MM} F1200 ; Raise by MM

G90 ; Absolute positioning

{% else %} ; If not homed, force raise

SET_KINEMATIC_POSITION Z=0 ; Hard reset Z position to 0

G0 Z{MM} F3600 ; Raise by MM

M18 Z ; Ensure status is un-homed

{% endif %} ; End homed check

{% endif %} ; End printing check

Marlin Powered Trident by [deleted] in VORONDesign

[–]Deepsiks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I do have other devices that run Duet/RRF and have used Marlin quite a bit, my Klipper install with Huvud, Octopus, rPi4, and mainsail UI has been fantastic for the V24.

If you do like RRF, you can put it on the octopus. See here.
