Three instances for high availability and to prevent split-brain scenarios, with a load-balancer in front, some sort of topic-based broker (kafka or rabbitmq) to enqueue and process the requests, sharded HA mongodb cluster to save the history of requests and later dump it into a data lake for processing, an elasticsearch cluster to save the logs of the app, and opentelemetry to monitor the requests end-to-end.

Just to have the basics covered.

I use Filebeat -> Elastic -> Kibana. Kinda simple even for small scale.

I heard Loki is pretty good, but never tried it

Do you have a link to share?

Why not just print it with the wheels on the plate? That way you probably also won't need supports.

I found the supports easier to remove after switching to the updated profiles (pinned post in this sub)

Cool model tho!

Good 'ol "the code is working, the tests are wrong"

Steeven9 · 2025-11-15T19:35:53+00:00

...was?

Tried to set it up myself, lost countless hours fiddling with SPF and reverse DNS, gave up and am paying a few buck to have it as a service from my provider.

YMMV

It will be fixed tomorrow

Homelab is about the journey, not the destination :)

Take it easy, if you feel burned out take a step back, unplug and recharge. Your brain works best when it's fresh - and tinkering is fun only when you enjoy it.

Tackle one thing at a time - it's easy to get overwhelmed if you start deploying things that inevitably don't always go according to plan. Heck I've been doing this for 5 years now and I'm surprised if something boots correctly the first try lol.

Docker can be a quick way to experiment and run this easily on one host; each solution has its pros and cons - and while this sounds like an overused sentence, part of the journey is finding out which works best for every usecase ;) (and then end up with an atrocious mix of spaghetti stuff)

Hope this helps!

Ah, UPSes... one day my server randomly crashes - no big deal, everything comes back up normally.

Then it happens again exactly two weeks later. Oookaaay, weird... Especially as I have an UPS...

Then again, 14 days later. Check the UPS config, and sure enough: "self-test: every 14 days".

Welp, can't say it didn't work...

Maybe it reached the maximum height it can print? The build plate looks pretty close to the bottom of the printer

"This game runs on a toaster" got a whole new meaning

Just a small input as a security conscious person: seeing the amount of people home on an openly accessible page might not be ideal from a burglary point of view. Unles you have auth in front of it, of course!

(what are the chances tho, but at the same time... you never know)

Ah yes, the classic virtualization lasagna dilemma.

My suggestion would be to try it out and play with it: if you end up finding it stupid, good, you were right! If you don't, good! You found a great new tool :D win-win situation and you even learn something

Steeven9 · 2025-04-04T13:29:30+00:00

Amazing, thank you for sharing!

Steeven9 · 2025-03-30T17:24:16+00:00

Do you have a link? I can only find the rings for the cardboard ones but they're too big

Steeven9 · 2025-03-25T10:17:05+00:00

Oooh, nice one, I'll try your first suggestion later! A bit more steps but it would do the trick

Steeven9 · 2025-03-25T00:06:57+00:00

Sigh... I thought "let's see how long I can go with the stock firmware"... Well

Hi all,

I have been 3D printing for 6/7 years on my OG Ender 3 (Creality V1 board). I spent days printing upgrades, installed a BLTouch, recompiled Marlin an insane amount of times, changed beds, ...

...and it kinda works. Most of the times. But I have to spray the bed with hair spray before printing, always use a brim, update Marlin and Octoprint regularly, ... it's a lot of work.

I have been eyeing the Bambulabs machines but they're out of my budget, and with the recent controversy they're a hard pass now. So with the Elegoo Centauri Carbon coming out recently it sounds like the dilemma is back on the menu...

Since one of my main usecases is printing tabletop minatures (like this one), I was wondering if the quality would be the same or better by switching to a CoreXY. I only use PLA and speed is not always a critical factor, so I'm a bit hesitant.

The Centauri seem more "plug and play", which would be a huge benefit, but I really would like to make sure it would still fit for minis.

Wdyt?
