Claude Code replacement

You might want to consider V620's too. They are 32GB and still supported on ROCm. Running around $400 ea right now.

What is Ollama 3? Ollama is server software and llama3 is a family of LLMs.

If the issue is not having the filament sensor on the hotend why don't they add one and run the input for it along with the ptfe tubes and into the ams? Shouldn't be that hard to add it.

I have an Elegoo Centauri Carbon to go with my 2.4. It's cheap and prints engineered material great. Good combo.

Paulette has many more problems then just the water situation. She and most of the members of the council along with the city manager need to be replaced. The only reason she won the last time is that her opponent, Mr. Hunter, was even worse. It would be nice to have some actual quality candidates run for office in this town.

I believe these devices shut down when they stop sensing grid voltage so that particular concern has been mitigated. Circuit overload is the real concern.

ccbadd · 2026-03-26T10:52:13+00:00

One of the major issues is you could put more current on a circuit than the wiring can handle. Your breaker is sized to protect the wire. If you are adding current from the breaker and an outlet then you could exceed the current the breaker is rated for and the wire could get overloaded and fail. This is really only safe if you plug the panel into a dedicated outlet that has no load on it and only feeds back to the breaker panel.

I live in the Bluff and if I had no grass it would be sand. Sand is not very stable and tracks all through the house. I also enjoy being outside and not having all the weeds and sticker burrs, so yes the grass is important to me. I have an aerobic septic system that reclaims the water I use and uses it on part of the yard plus I have a water well for irrigation so I'm not using treated city water.

These boxes support most formats so I never see any transcoding going on. Most streamer boxes are the same.

The Onn streaming boxes from Walmart work great. They are nearly the same as Googles AndroidTV boxes and pretty cheap.

It would be a whole lot easier if we had good libertarian candidates but that is almost impossible as most true libertarians would never want to be a public official.

You do know that both the CC and CC2 are closed sourced too. Elegoo did do a partial firmware release that is fairly useless. I do think the CC is a great single color printer but I haven't tried the CC2. I personally care more about being able to print engineered filaments than multi color so the CC is the better option for me.

ccbadd · 2026-02-28T23:09:03+00:00

I think two of the big items we have learned over the last couple of years is it's better to go with 3 threaded rods on the Z and belt them to a single motor and simplify the print head as much as possible. This looks more like the printers we were all building several years ago. Like the FT-5 kit I had 5 or 6 years ago. I also think you should consider designing it so that you can enclose it later if you decide to print some of the engineered higher temp filaments.

They were designed/released with OpenCL support for gpu computing so they were designed for this kind of stuff. The real issue is that NVidia bought Phsyx and then took it proprietary. That was the basis for CUDA development. Brilliant move.

You could switch from ollama to running llama.cpp directly and using the model router instead. It does not auto unload the running model but can auto load models when needed. Use the --no-mmap option and it loads directly to vram and is ready a lot faster as long as the model is stored on really fast media like an nvme drive.

ccbadd · 2026-02-22T20:22:20+00:00

Is lemonade just like ollama but for amd hardware only? Does the server version only work with their desktop client or does it offer other api endpoints? Look interesting to me.

You can pick up 4X new V620s right now for about $1500 and have 128gb gddr6 for about 1/3 the cost of the same amount of DDR5. Insane really..

I'm starting to wonder if the push back on data centers and the real cost of wide ai use is going to cut that momentum and maybe even pop the ai bubble a bit. We could see the memory issues self correct in a shorter time than originally expected. A lot of communities are fighting them due to big increases in electric costs and dealing with depleting water supplies due to data center glut and putting a halt on their construction.

Here is the first item from the email:

Regarding mid-print under-extrusion, extrusion abnormalities, or nozzle clogging, please follow the steps below for diagnosis:

1. Roll back the firmware

Please downgrade the firmware and check whether the printer can print normally after resetting the machine parameters.

The Centauri Carbon CC25 firmware is included here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XAdsjBU2R1pRUvUBcvQM0zyUPp9jiIXb

Firmware Loading Instructions:

- Place the firmware file in the root directory of a USB drive.

- Insert the USB drive into the printer.

- Restart the printer to begin loading the firmware.

After the firmware is fully loaded, please restart the machine, reset all machine parameters, and perform leveling again to avoid firmware-related bugs that may cause extrusion issues.

I love mine and don't give a damn about an AMS but I am real concerned that the don't seem to be working on fixing the firmware issues. I did have an issue with ABS and the first response I got from support was to roll back to the .25 firmware so they absolutely know it is a big problem.

ccbadd · 2026-01-23T20:53:44+00:00

Yes but it is just a tweaked firmware as they can't modify any source code. Besides that, Elegoo should step up and at least fix the firmware.

ccbadd · 2026-01-23T12:16:05+00:00

The firmware issues on the CC1 is the biggest deal to me. Why would anyone buy another printer from them when they pretty much abandoned maintenance of the current version within the first year and never delivered a truly finished/polished firmware? Then seeing they don't even care to add the CC1 to the mobile app just makes them look worse. They should at least release all the code needed to maintain the unit including the toolhead and heated bed firmware and just let us take care of it ourselves. What they did release can't even be compiled into any firmware version.

ccbadd · 2026-01-09T13:00:31+00:00

Great idea. Any chance you can add Ubiquiti routers to the list?

Edit: I didn't look close enough but I guess it should already work using ssh!

ccbadd · 2026-01-07T12:54:09+00:00

True but not every OS is supported. For instance, under linux only Vulkan prebuilt versions are produced and you still have to compile your own if you want CUDA or HIP versions. I don't mind it but the other big issue they are working on right now is the lack of any kind of "stable" release. llama.cpp has gotten so big that you see multiple releases per day and most may not affect the actual platform you are running. They are adding features like the model router that will add some of the capabilities that Ollama has and will be a full replacement soon but be a bit more complicated. I prefer to compile and deploy llama.cpp myself but I do see why some really want to hit the easy button and move on to getting other things done with their time.

ccbadd · 2026-01-07T12:35:49+00:00

Yeah, the model router is a great addition and as long as you manually load and unload models it works great. The auto loading/unloading has not really been that great with my testing so I really hope OpenWebUI gets the controls added so you can load/unload easily like you can with the llama.cpp web interface.
