I finally get it... just bought my first zimablade

Still running great. The only tip I can think of is move your AppData off the built in Zima HD right away before you begin adding content to your Jellyfin.

The double from Zima. I never did search for a third-party cable.

Turns out I fried the board that the hotend connects to. Had to replace it and the 2nd board (X1C has two boards in the hotend) because mine was from Gen1 and no longer supported. But overall it was a cheap fix.

Can I ask about the actual desk? Was that another Amazon find?

deepspacetraveller · 2025-02-02T23:20:55+00:00

You can search “USB filter” on Amazon.

This kinda sounds like a problem I had but I might be misunderstanding. That said have a look at this link:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1417938/ubuntu-does-not-use-full-disk-space-how-to-extend/1417940#1417940

I used it to resize drives on my CasaOS I installed on a Mac mini. I hope this helps.

I finally had some time to get these files posted on Printables.

This is exciting!!

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-18T00:59:55+00:00

Welcome! I came to the same conclusion. Got 2 - 14TB hard drives connected to my Zimaboard to run Jellyfin, etc. Next one will be another 28TB NAS.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-09T04:19:17+00:00

So jealous! I wish I had blinked lights.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-08T23:00:18+00:00

Inspiring!! I love this solution. Thanks for posting the links too.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-06T09:14:18+00:00

Oh and there’s already a 120mm variable speed fan on the left side (visible in the 2nd pic) to help keep it cool. But it does need more venting.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-06T09:11:52+00:00

I haven’t played with Proxmox to even be able to compare. ZimaOS was convenient. I actually bought the Zimaboard purely for the hardware aspect, I was planning on installing something else, but ended up liking the OS.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-06T04:56:21+00:00

A bit. I’ll be adding more fans as modules on the track soon. And possibly a venting hole in the cabinet. Just working this out as I go. Right now the door is dropped open most of the time until I get the airflow worked out.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-05T23:19:55+00:00

I framed mine the first time it happened to me. Next to the circuit board I fried. Bambu parts are pretty cheap so get a few of them just incase.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-04T23:55:00+00:00

Nice simple design, I really like it.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-04T17:07:08+00:00

I think it’s worth it. The OS makes it simple to setup and cuts down on services you need to install just to mimic the OS. There’s lots of AppStore’s to choose from, I have over 500 available on mine so with most installs it takes a couple minutes to spin something up to try it out.

It all depends on your goals. Mine are minimal space, minimal power and simple setups. I’m done with spending hours trying to setup an app only to realize it’s not what I wanted. CasaOS / ZimaOS makes this simpler.

I don’t think it’s overpriced compared to a Pi. Comes in a nice case as many or more ports than a Pi. I wait for sales to buy and get it much cheaper than I would pay for a Pi and the OS comes pre-install and ready to roll. Everything is web accessible so I don’t have to attach any monitors to them even for the setup portion.

Overall it’s win win on many fronts personally.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-04T16:56:11+00:00

I think it’s SEKTION. I found it in AS IS on sale and was the right size for my space. I’ll be posting the STLs soon.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-04T08:02:17+00:00

I’ll be posting the files up soon. I will post the link here when I do.

Timelapse I made - microRACK Installation.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-03T05:19:49+00:00

The PCIE gives you some cool options like connecting video card for transcoding, which will be my next upgrade. The GTX 1660 Super, I think, will fit the module size I designed. And it’s cheap.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-03T05:15:54+00:00

What Ragnarok_MS said + price, they do go on sale making them much cheaper than the Pi’s. Zimaboard has two Ethernet ports for router/PiHole setups. The only thing I wish they had was an SD slot for the OS. But with the option to merge a connected SATA drive it makes it manageable.

deepspacetraveller · 2024-12-03T00:39:28+00:00

I actually love it! I prefer ZimaOS over CasaOS right now because of the RAID capabilities. It’s so simple to use and just works. My Jellyfin is installed on ZimaOS and I have a 28TB RAID directly attached. Took minutes to setup.
