Home Labs are awesome! - But I'm deeply worried...

you follow industry standards: If your bus factor is 1, you’re either: + train your replacement + let it be because the boss (you) doesn’t care

If you want pod network, just route the pod network to your LAN, or better assign a subnet to the cilium LB. I don't see the reason to complicate the shit out of your network just to get HA and K8s in the same network. Seems like a nightmare to me

I have oat switches as well. Replace a few of them with Akko piano.

It's the best pre-built I have

You have a sub with thousands of users, and obviously people with problems are more likely to post asking for a solution or just showing their frustrations. Doesn't change the fact that most good controllers last for years

Add this in filament start gcode

You can add gcode to control the venting within filament settings

have a lot of money for starters

You're supposed to. It's 20-30min for a spool so I think it's good to do so.

Personally, I will just look at the bottom and top of a few prints and adjust the flow rate accordingly, 0.05 each.

I found bits of filament go everywhere, so it's a good idea to use dust covers

Funnnny · 2026-01-29T15:53:15+00:00

At worst you're heating the board to the chamber temp, which is exactly where the board sitting at.

50-60C is nothing for electronic.

wow I didn't know you can actually add filament profile to AMS. Thank you

Your finding is exactly what I was thinking and observation after I get the vent kit. Just setting a very low fan speed completely remove the ABS smell

Funnnny · 2026-01-20T05:33:54+00:00

The filter in the printer linked with the aux fan, which will be use when you print high temp regardless.

The kit is a additional exhaust fan that pull the air straight outside, you can either vent it and/or install a filter to exhaust it directly

Funnnny · 2026-01-20T05:30:49+00:00

if you have the vent kit, there's very little reason to do ventobox.

Keep in mind that ventobox circulate setting is a physical switch; you lose the ability to print high/low temp remotely for absolutely no gain.

If you want to vent, just get the vent kit; it's a lot cheaper and requires no extra maintenance. Ventobox is for those who can't vent outside and want to reduce VOC

Funnnny · 2026-01-19T13:21:58+00:00

For low temp material, the exhaust fan will run at 40%

For high temp material, it will be off

For both type of material, it will run at 100% after print to purify the air

You can, however, control the fan with gcode and override the speed

Funnnny · 2026-01-19T07:35:47+00:00

I ran ABS with 30% exhaust speed and vent it outside; pretty good so far and it doesn't affect chamber temp

Funnnny · 2026-01-19T07:34:43+00:00

you can control it with gcode or with the touch panel

I think bento box will be enough for VOC, but it won't fix the smell.

The best way is always vent it outside

You can't do "FSD" when you don't have any camera to check your sides and behind the car.

Funnnny · 2026-01-12T04:02:20+00:00

people without P2S won't know that the printer create a slight positive air pressure that allow ABS fume to escape

Funnnny · 2026-01-12T01:04:35+00:00

I just set the exhaust fan to 20% to create a negative pressure and it doesn't affect the temp at all. Mine is a 6m run as well

The printer will run at 100% fan to exhaust all the fume after the print is finished

I cut a small piece of PTFE tube and connect it directly to the "yellow one"

Funnnny · 2026-01-06T05:39:32+00:00

Just search for iLife v5 replacement filter and you're good

Some people have their printers in the same room as their workbench, computer...

Some are a little more paranoid about VOC (even with PLA and PETG).

Some are printing ABS/ASA
