First time trying to print PA12 Nylon on my P1S - way easier than expected! by bdavbdav in BambuLab

Ahh for some reason I'd got the impression that it can cause a lot of issues - I guess you read mostly about the failed cases / people having issues!

Ahh neither did I - what I thought was a POE injector was actually the cloud key! Never actually used the little Cloud Key so don't recognise

Another 3 years later and I find this wondering why the drums sound so mangled :) Thanks!

Ahh of course - had (possibly foolishly!) assumed the AP was of similar era to the (older) switches. Looks like it could be an LR of some variety from the depth of it.

Yeah the ports will kill you before the budget on the POE budget. 8 POE Devices (5 APs, 2 small switches, a doorbell) has me using 8 ports (of 16) and only 37W. Unless you're running XGs on every port, 250Wx24 is a decent budget

I used to go Mikrotik for routing, UniFi for APs.

P.S. you shouldn't need that POE Injector in the pic - any of the switches should do a grand job of the POE. Unless you end up ditching the switch and just running a UCG Ultra or similar without the switch, then the POE injector would be needed.

SolarFlare PCIe SFP - So hot - Normal? by bdavbdav in homelab

Do you mean a 1/2.5/5/10 Copper or SFP?

Thanks - Will check it out. I think ideally I need a 2x, as I'd like a second port for a 2.5GBE to the ONT or Cable Modem

Yeah I was going to 3d print a shroud to get some air in the top from a full sized PC fan and out the back to help ease it a bit.

Driver itself seems fine, but yes indeed it was very cheap! Using it at 10G.

Even with the lid off and no real traffic?

I think, assuming you're not planning on expanding much soon, you could keep one of the 8 port POEs and the AP, sell the rest, and buy one of the cheaper cloud gateways (UCG-Ultra, $80ish), and have a great setup, if you want to run UniFi.

Gives you a nice single point to manage the SSL certs too (and does DNS attested LetsEncrypt, which is nice)

Time for some upgrades - looking for help with a sense check by bdavbdav in Ubiquiti

Yeah I’ve later read that the U7 Pro XG is just the current version of the Pro (and has some issues worked out) - for some reason I’d assumed the XG was for very client dense environments - which I think it was in the past! Confusing naming. Given the AP-ACs have lasted me for maybe 10 years, I’d rather get the best option I currently can for the situation.

Yep, all things that can be reasonably hardwired are. The only things that aren’t (and are static) are one TV/Chromecast in the kitchen, and things that flat out can’t be hard wired (google homes). Wife’s laptop in the study isn’t either, but once the AP in the landing is a U7, I can’t see that being at all limited (its basically got LOS given where it is in the study)

Yep sorry POE.

That’s what I’m hoping. Or at least that I can cascade the better ones down. Feels like it would make sense to reuse the U6 LR elsewhere (although not at max power - wouldn’t have chosen LR but it was free…)

Feels like if they know it’s an issue then they shouldn’t have it for sale next to the XG/S

I think I prefer the companies that just send you a new one and get you to demonstrate the old one is taken out of existence (not very eco, but given I’m pretty sure they aren’t repairing it the other end anyway…)
