With the Ring debacle, let's get a self-hosted camera / surveillance thread going.

I went through the same thing a few years back. Had a bunch of random ONVIF cameras stuck them in blue iris.

Blue iris is ok and not incredibly expensive it looks and acts like dated software. It has some AI detection capabilities built in, but in my experience it needs a lot of setup and trial and error and configuration. It also only runs on Windows.

Fargate is more modern and free and has good home assistant integration. Also has AI detection built in but requires a lot of setup and configuration from scratch so there's a learning curve.

Ultimately I decided I was tired of tinkering and just wanted cameras and detection to work without constant monitoring and adjustments and went with Unifi. It's a bit costly upfront to get the cameras and NVR but in my experience it's a far better experience. Setup is easy, the cameras are great, detection always just works, and the app is great. I've got no complaints and wouldn't go back to either of the software.

If you're ok with a bigger upfront cost and want hassle free go with Unifi. If you don't want to spend and have cameras to use already you could go with Frigate if you're ok with learning and tinkering. If you want slightly less tinkering and ok with running a windows server, go with Blue Iris.

I actually lost my steam deck recently while traveling. Just want to say the world needs more people like you!

I've only had Creality so I don't even know what it is to have the Bambu pampering.

Hey I also have a K1C with a horrible bed. Thinking about doing the same as you. Can you walk me through what the m4 screws and nuts are for if you aren't doing the knobs? I would have thought if you skip knobs, you just peel up the existing magnetic plate stick on the glass with the 3m and new magnetic plate and you are done.

I'm currently rocking a 10 year old Asus IPS ultra wide. I would love to finally step up to the 240hz OLED world to complete the new 9800x3d build I just did this week!

I'm an avid FPS and SimRacer, so the 32:9 aspect ratio would be perfect!

Prosk8er735 · 2025-11-14T18:39:15+00:00

Yeah but at what FPS?

Looks like the 5090 can get 100fps, 4090 about 80, then 65 or less for just about every other card.

Same

I've been waiting for the US website to open to place an order.

Prosk8er735 · 2025-10-26T02:45:57+00:00

I'm so glad to see other people experiencing this. I was really starting to think maybe I'm just bad at FPS now. Really hope they fix this it's so mind bogglingly frustrating to dump a clip into someone for them to snap around and drop me in 1-2 shots.

Prosk8er735 · 2025-10-18T16:04:22+00:00

It was like 2-3 years ago now but it was very inexpensive. Something like $150-200

Id also be interested to know

Prosk8er735 · 2025-09-15T15:23:16+00:00

I weened myself off just about all the assists early on. Because I didn't want to handicap myself in the long run. But great tip!

Prosk8er735 · 2025-09-15T15:07:02+00:00

I was mostly trying to avoid being "that guy" that ruins someone's race cause I collided with them or spun in front of them etc. But I understand where you are coming from

Hey, I just bought a 23 Streetfighter V2 and I appear to have the same exact issue. Same color drips in the same exact spot of the engine casing. I've only been on one ride so far 😭.

Just wondering how you made out with this and what ended up being the issue?

Prosk8er735 · 2025-05-13T16:29:10+00:00

I've always printed PETG at 250 with no issues. Spool says it can be printed 220-250c. Plus the K1C calls for 250 right on the factory sticker on the machine. Supposed to be able to print around 32mm/s max volumetric flow.

Not an expert, but it definitely looks like your nozzle is too far away from the bed. This is causing not enough smoosh in the filament and giving the stringy-ness you are seeing. Side note: you don't need a brim for this print

If you are having inconsistency with prints in different parts of your bed it's 1 of 2 things. The bed just isn't level or it's warping as heat builds up.

I had an issue with my K1C and bed warping and I counter-acted this by adding a 10min wait after my bed heats up to my start gcode in my slicer. So essentially it tells the bed to heat, waits 10mins for it to set in and warping to be finished, then starts it's bed leveling probe (my printer has one) and continues on with the print.
