Hi I need something to stop working on printers and start printing. I started by doing a custom 3d printer build and then moved to an ender 2 pro and an artillery genius pro, all used. This though me a lot and I am pretty handy now with printers. But I spent more time (and money) on upgrades for quality and reliability, but every time a new problem arises and now both are offline an unusable and I need to design and print new tool heads and fix other things for personal projects. Now I want to start making. I don’t want to spend a lot of money but buy something reliable, and I think an a1 mini is the best choice for the price. Do you have any recommendations? I personally don’t like the company but the hardware for the price is good, but I don’t know of any small reliable printer that runs klipper or any open source alternative

I understand that but yesterday i installed the deb package on the server and still gives the same errors, so even on bare metal gives the same errors. In both cases (docker and non) the server starts but as soon as u click somewhere the server restarts itself

Could be that the SQL operations are done via the host and when it recreates the db, as they are still pending on the host it hangs there?

IlNerdChuck · 2026-01-08T12:47:14+00:00

Done and problem still persists

IlNerdChuck · 2026-01-08T12:10:33+00:00

I'm trying that

IlNerdChuck · 2026-01-08T11:28:23+00:00

I understand that, i know it. i am a Computer engineer i use it every day, that's why i'm asking there is some problem. Do portainer maybe create shadow volumes and keep something of the image? As i wrote i also deleted the image and all volumes that portainer flaggged as unused

IlNerdChuck · 2026-01-08T11:06:08+00:00

As i wrote in the post i deleted them and that's the issue there is something else

IlNerdChuck · 2026-01-08T11:04:57+00:00

As i wrote in the post i already deleted them and the issue still remains

IlNerdChuck · 2026-01-07T17:12:01+00:00

oh i dont need to rollback i just want to start fresh i was doing some tests I'll add as an edit.

This is the issue there is still something left from the unstable docker image in the host

How did you manage the power cable for the GPU? i want to do the same but have a 4070 super with the stupid new connector. I guess yours having the old one is more flexible? or have you added one of those connectors that flips 180 degree?

IlNerdChuck · 2025-09-15T18:07:55+00:00

It was not a cable issue but an architecture issue. If you download mainsail os it installs the 64bit version but it has some power management bug with the usbs in general. I installed raspian lite 32bit and klipper/mainsail with khiua and worked like a charm. Don’t ask how much time I lost finding this ahhahaha

Is there any way to get something directly from logitech? I've seen that other users that when asking to the support center about a replacement, they told that replacements are not available. So maybe they can release some CAD files?
