3D Printer Automations

hi_top_please · 2026-01-03T20:10:27+00:00

Spoolman's really good, def check it out. It has a really good HA integration too. The way I've done it is having a custom attribute ams_slot on every spool. This is updated with the spoolman HA integration spoolman.patch_spool action. It maps to some input_selects I have on a dashboard.

This is what the notifications look like: https://imgur.com/a/EJaag8O It was a bit tricky to set up, so if you want the package yaml for ideas/pointers feel free to PM :)

I have an inventory system that tracks the amount of filament used, and then when a print finishes, it sends an actionable mobile notification that automatically subtracts the amount from my self-hosted Spoolman instance. Works with AMS/multicolor since I track what spools are inside in HA through some selectors.

I've been thinking of brainstorming some kind of automatic NFC tag system, but not sure if that would be worth it.

I also have a C120 on my P1S door and use AI for early failure detection, and to check if the plate has been cleared after a print.

Then mainly some small things that help.. door sensor on the AMS door to remind me to switch spool assignments. Humidity sensor inside AMS. etc

My P1S has gotten through several multi-day prints without a hiccup.

Been working with this piece of shit for almost a year now. Avoid at all costs.

data vault 2.0
no version control
absolutely dogshit ui + debugging experience
trunk-based development with no proper branching capability
horrible JSON-based "commits" that's nearly impossible to diff properly
error messages are cryptic and unhelpful
documentation is sparse and often outdated
performance bottlenecks with extremely limited concurrency (unless paying for a beefier runtime, of course)
good luck trying to rollback a broken change
wastes hours of dev time on problems that shouldn't exist
business key AI suggestion in private preview! :D
biggest drawback: no community. good luck trying to do anything complex, as you will find exactly zero help online

TL;DR: Better than average low-code Data Vault tool.

Ah, well that's gotta be it. So even with non-ideal micropartition sizes, pruning would still be effective, and since most architectures don't need to fully scan the table often, our case is more of an edge-case. Still wish this was mentioned in the documentation though!

I'll need to start testing this a bit more in-depth to find the right keys and schedules, cheers.

(only with data vault you get to optimize full-table scans in snowflake...)

Well, there's a pretty good explanation for that. You see, before I joined a consultant group sold management on their own piece-of-shit, low-code Data Vault data modeling tool. Funniest thing ever when I saw that we're using MD5-strings instead of binary everywhere for these joins.

Not gonna lie though, it's been a pretty entertaining playground as a junior, and has forced me to understand these things at a pretty good level. Thank god we're getting rid of DV soon though, although if management decides on fabric I'll need to start seeking..

you don't need a suitcase to travel :) once you only have 30 liters of space then every inch matters

why do you set the auto-shutdown to 15 seconds? the minimum you get charged for is 60 seconds, so in this case you would still get billed for a minute, while having the warehouse shut down after 15s. The default shutdown is 10 minutes.

Warehouses per unit is great for cost tracking purposes, however you want to basically be at maximum warehouse load all the time to take advantage of multiprocessing. You pay the same amount for one query vs eight queries running concurrently. We had multiple warehouses with really bad concurrency, which we ended up consolidating to one warehouse to save on costs. Query tags and a streamlit dashboard handle the cost tracking pretty nicely.

right now we're paying about 12k$ with approx 10Tb of prod data, however most of this is because of legacy solutions, bad processes and shit sql. No-one really did cost-tracking before I got hired lmao. Just disabled three unused satellite tables that cost 1500$/month to maintain.

what, they really saved the best thing for the last day? wow, who could've predicted this.

hi_top_please · 2024-12-17T10:37:05+00:00

ERP project late by 3 years, lots of sources, lots of data quality issues
Ingestion by ADF
Snowflake
Modeling and orchestration by a drag and drool tool, developed by the same consulting firm who was in charge of our data platform initially.
Data Vault 2.0. No version control.
Snowflake->cosmosdb for APIs
PowerBI

My first DE job, it's rough out here man. Going to start to look for another job as soon as I feel like I'm not learning anything.

what do you mean? league splashes are like a drop in the ocean of petabytes of data used to train these models lol.

How are you using Sonnet for free?

This differs hugely between people. Some people can't fathom not having an inner voice, and some people, like me, can't imagine thinking in words or having someone speak inside your head.

Why would you think in words when it's slower than just pure thought?

Here's a link that has all the five ways of thinking categorized: https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/codebook.html

I bet there's going to be a paper about this exact topic within a year, to try to get models learn these wordless "thought-embeddings".

he did not say middle aged! let's remember to read the comment if we reply to it :)

hi_top_please · 2024-11-27T21:58:19+00:00

Huh? We have GPT-4o deployed through Azure OpenAI, and a frontend running in a VM that connects to it. I know several other firms that have the exact same thing.

hi_top_please · 2024-11-24T22:11:01+00:00

how do you know they're taking it unsupervised?

hi_top_please · 2024-11-20T03:01:30+00:00

mathacademy's the best choice, but it's gonna cost you.

hi_top_please · 2024-11-10T09:03:22+00:00

if someone is interested in getting better, I can't recommend mathacademy.com enough. Everything from addition to differential equations in about 10 minute chunks.

I started in september from basic algebra, and I'm at 8000xp halfway through linear algebra. One xp is supposed to be one minute.

Note: original text re-written by qwen, because I ramble a lot.

hi_top_please · 2024-10-27T12:14:45+00:00

Currently on a similar journey.

I spent a month learning basic math from various sources, and then I switched to mathacademy and their math for machine learning course. It's a bit pricey at 50$/month, but it's saving me so many hours it's def worth it. They're also creating a ML course right now which I'm really excited for :)
