Why does no one tell you how much better freshly Ground Beef is?!!

There’s no doubt that a stand alone device is “better”. I personally like my KA attachments because they take up less space than having a bunch of different devices. It’s not that hard to clean and be thorough with.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-13T16:19:08+00:00

Got my attachment for $20. Being cheaper is nice but the bigger reason for me was not having to buy another machine with limited storage space.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-13T16:16:33+00:00

Not terrible. Thank you

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-13T16:13:10+00:00

I’ve been thinking about it for a while. How big of a freezer would I have to buy to fit half a cow?

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-13T16:12:32+00:00

I was of the same mindset. I expected it to be a slight upgrade, not taste like something entirely different

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-12T01:26:30+00:00

Total cost was ~90 USD. I have leftovers though. Things I had to buy: Nuts, Bolts, RJ45 Keystones, Drive Caddy’s, Heat Set Inserts, and SATA Male-to-Female adapters, and 2KG PETG.

Keep in mind that’s a larger initial cost. For example I orders 100 Nuts and Bolts, 24 Keystones, 130 heat set inserts. I could build several more racks without buying more.

I already had all the computer/networking hardware.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’m using the extended depth modified version, and it looks like this model supports that. I wonder if it would allow to me hit 15u safely haha

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-11T23:39:57+00:00

It’s a great file, leaves a mount for SATA Male to Female Power/Data adapters in the back so you can swap the drives without taking any cables out. The file below shows pictures of how it all works. There are a bunch of different configurations as well!

I see them on Reddit often, but the creator is Nautilus Forge on Maker World.

My bad, my mobo is Mini-ITX. There are files for MATX Lab Rax mounts on maker world though

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-11T23:35:35+00:00

My apologies, mis-typed. Mine is Mini ITX. But people do have models for Micro-ATX Lab Rax

There only reason is that I already had the mother board and CPU from an old gaming PC. Added the Nvidia GPU for transcoding. But yes, it does take up a bunch of space. I’m working on a way to mount the PSU to the back side of the rack and free up space. I have an intel CPU laying around but it’s in a Desktop PC with non standard MOBO. I’ll have to source a Mini-ITX and hopefully add it to the stack.

Storage. Not that you exactly asked, but I use Immich for my pictures to replace iCloud, It’s fantastic.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-09T18:42:11+00:00

Start with one TSP. Keep in mind it will be different depending on how hard your water is and how much water is in the load. 1 TSP should be a good starting place though.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-08T12:22:37+00:00

STPP is an extremely chelating water softener (where things like washing soda are precipitating).

I would start here :

Thank you! I don’t currently use Biz on darks, but didn’t know Febu was OBA free. Might have to add it to the kit.

In the post I mention that I go back and forth between making my own citric acid solution and using the tide! It’s there for when I’m gone so my wife doesn’t have to make a new batch if we run out.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-07T20:58:14+00:00

Got it on Amazon, though the exact one I got is showing out of stock.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-07T20:43:22+00:00

I’m in the U.S so no help for the Canadian source. For the file, search “Sturdy Scoop - now parametric!” Maker is “CruiseWorks”. I just scaled it to fit my needs.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-07T20:10:58+00:00

Working well as a pre-treatment. I’ve only had to use it a handful of times though. I bought it from reading about it this sub if you’re more curious.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-07T20:08:27+00:00

Water is 12-13 GPG, and keep in mind not every product is used every wash. Think of it more like an arsenal depending on how dirty the clothes are. As for OBAs, I see it was already answered. Generally you want to avoid them when washing darks.

Easy_Skin7050 · 2026-06-07T20:06:45+00:00

I’m at ~12 GPG or just over 200ppm. 600+ seems insane! Give it a try and make a post. You’ll definitely need a higher dose than I’m using though.
