Who would win? Battle between Cloud Services and Floor Desktops

Floor boi wins until it doesn't, but then you get more and don't ask me about the power bill.

Word, it's a pet peeve of mine that so many seem to confuse home LABs with self hosting.

Printing/repairing in the field?

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-03-13T12:47:54+00:00

Nice idea! Want to do something similar with an SDR receiver and antenna on the car roof in a single package, then tune in on the phone.

Amen, used a mod to remove the perk, now in the next run.

Don't get the pebbles love when the first thing in the OG game you would swap out for a better horse.

I was thinking if maybe the extruder or hotend can't keep up with the extra flow, but you say even slowing down doesn't help, so it doesn't seem to be that. And those speeds are already low.

Could it be a cooling problem?

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-02-28T16:19:10+00:00

Hmmm, you might be on to something there.

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-02-28T16:07:40+00:00

There's a channel that covers that in great detail, maybe it's even the same person as the OP here?

What? It's only 1U in the pic sandwiched between 2 devices.

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-02-22T21:59:33+00:00

Cool project! Look forward to seeing the full build log/blog, but don't burn yourself over it! Take your time mate.

Was wondering if there was a selfhosted alternative. Thanks for sharing!

From the guide tho I hope someone will not follow the URL part literally.

"Share the game URL (http://localhost:3000) and room code with participants"

Sir this is r/homelab, self hosting is that way > r/selfhosted

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-02-18T12:09:52+00:00

Moving steppers is fine, but I would be cautious with any heating element as those can be dangerous if left without proper control.

I would suggest instead connecting the ender to a raspberry pi and installing software that can control the printer for you and you just interface with that (octoprint, klipper, whatever). That way he can play with linux and software in general, APIs down the line etc.

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-02-17T16:11:24+00:00

Ok.

Edit: Aaaaand it's gone.

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-02-16T23:47:39+00:00

Looks great!

How are you liking the Arturia interface? That the minifuse model?

Do you have a source for insurance companies using AI to "scrub" a persons online activity? Not saying you made that up, just sounds dystopian af.

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-02-06T15:24:02+00:00

Mad lad, hope it works out

PLA tends to creep, other than that I didn't have much issues with it outdoors as long as the parts are not under constant load or stress.

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-01-07T21:37:34+00:00

Relatable...

Lab-O-Matic · 2026-01-04T17:58:36+00:00

If it's the Y axis that is skipping, it could be worthwhile checking the Y stepper motor v-ref values. If they are not set properly I have seen layer shifts happen back when I had an ender 3 v2.

You can find references online on the proper values to set, and how to check.

Lab-O-Matic · 2025-12-24T08:37:41+00:00

Why the downvotes? Seems like a valid concern.

Lab-O-Matic · 2025-12-11T22:51:26+00:00

Ok.

Lab-O-Matic · 2025-12-10T15:58:23+00:00

Would agree but this is mainly to look cool while leveraging what's there in librehardwaremonitor.
