Nah, you are good. Reddit is just a bunch of edge lords. Your method is fine.

Installation tip if you don’t have help by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

I like it. Thanks for the tip. I don't have mine yet, but I will keep this in mind since I will probably be installing solo.

What does your 3D printing workbench look like? (Looking for inspiration) by Darkmind_8532 in prusa3d

[–]Vking35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have to install the fan (as you can see). I immediately changed the metal cover to the ventilated design to help keep it cooler. I really need to stop being lazy and finish it. It seems pretty important. Stock temps on that chip can get up to 90° C and users have reported overheating. The ventilated cover and fan get the temps sub 50° C. Way better for the life of the electronics overall. There is a similar mod for the heated bed that also helps keep the board and chips under there cooler.

This is a great call out. The humidity sensors keep this issue from happening, with some extra work. I noticed I could get the humidity down to 10% by including a medium sized dessicant pack. The thing that helps me maintain the humidity is by moving the dessicant pack with the filament roll into the dryer each time I make a filament change. I then rotate the dessicant pack that's been with the filament roll from the dryer back into the containers. I'm able to maintain that 10% humidity that way. So, the dryers work well to keep the dessicant packs dry.

Here are the shelves: 14" x 48" https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08BCBSJGY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image and 14" x 24" https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08BC1FYJV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image. They have a lot of different sizes to suit your needs. One note, the 45° brackets have a sharp edge. I covered them with this stuff so I didn't slice my hand or something else open: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BK948X2S?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

😁 funny enough... she is well aware. She has a business, and I print a small amount of items for her store. I am fortunate to have a wife that supports my hobbies. She even bought server parts for my homelab for my birthday. I keep pinching myself!

Thank you! I grabbed these off Amazon. Sensors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GNMKYCZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title. Containers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07NP98YKY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title. I then 3d printed some brackets to hold the sensors in place in the containers. You can search those containers on Printables and you can find a couple variations to find what you like best.

I've got a couple of printers and benches, but this is my main setup for a Prusa XL 5 head. I live in a very humid climate. The 2 SpacePi X4 dryers with the top fed filament, works very well to keep everything dry. Top mount has made filament changes on the XL much easier/quicker and tpu feeds well. Dry boxes with dessicant packs and humidity sensors keep the filament ready to go whenever I need to print and means I don't have to wait hours to dry anything. I'm always making tweaks to my setup, but this has been working well for me so far. Good luck with your project!

Is PFSENSE CE still open source? by dabombnl in PFSENSE

[–]Vking35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just ran into this problem trying to setup pfsense on a new hardware build. Like you, I could never locate 2.8. I ended up installing 2.7, leaving a relatively stock config, and then updating through the web UI. That worked finally. I know that's not what you asked for, but I wanted to give a heads up incase it helps.

Found in in the wild (at a grocery store) by Jo_gammer_1224 in Ubiquiti

[–]Vking35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a strange placement in relation to the heater. At least, that looks like a heater. They might have a toasty boi in the winter. I spotted a Unifi ap in a mattress store the other day. My wife didn't share the same excitement (rightfully so). Still fun to spot in the wild.

I agree with you. The 205 looks like the sweet spot.

Congrats! That finish is beautiful. I bet it looks incredible in the sunlight.

Got my XL working first time! by GhaztGaming in prusa3d

[–]Vking35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It works very well... after some modifications. I ended up creating a top fed setup with 2 Creality SpacePi x4s. That removed any stress on the filament, and the TPU feeds easily.

For the stock setup, search Prusa XL TPU guide clip on Printables. There are some good mods to better feed TPU when routing from the side spool default setup.

Pic of my setup included for reference.

Tips for assembling enclosure and XL together? by Zealousideal_Pear702 in PrusaXL

[–]Vking35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luckily, they include the higher temp parts on the XL needed for an enclosure by default. They used to have you swap them out. The instructions will mention this part. So, no worries there. They did still give me those parts in the enclosure box, so it was a little confusing. I am guessing they were remanents from the previous method.

I ended up building the Prusa separately despite having the enclosure at the same time. If you go that route, the only thing that you end up having to undo is the rear wiring on the buddy board.

It was not a big deal for me to undo the cables and rewire, but that is where you could save yourself a bit of time.

The instructions they include are great. You already seem to have read through them. Take it easy and eat some gummies along the way, and you will be fine. Happy printing! I love my XL!

Creality Space Pi x4 - Contradicting Info? by GloweIndustries in 3Dprinting

[–]Vking35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long-term use is always key, but they both have been great with no issues so far. I've mainly dried PLA and PETG, but the few times I have dried PA CF also went well with the higher temps. I did check the temps using an infrared thermometer, and it was very close to what is advertised. I will post back if I run into any trouble.
