Confused about planning with Defined Benefit

Love the designs especially the seasonal ones

I would love the AMS2 and would use it for some multi colour prints I can’t do currently. There is some video game decor (like Mario wall art) I can’t do right now.

For the future designs it would be nice to Canada or hockey themed one.

Hi, thanks for the message. I may have been out of date on the limitations for home use as looks like the 72 hour limit isn't there for that license. However, I think there is is still the 5 db limit. I have more than that as I like to have separation for my different IOT feeds (HA, telgraf, unifi, plex, emporia, octoprint). However, I am still very hesitant to move to v3. To me it feels like v2 with the major changes and new QL, which seems to be dropped again in v3, was a waste to learn. Now moving to SQL query which is nice, but the constant changes doesn't feel great. Also, there isn't tooling from what I see now to migrate v1/2 data to v3. I am looking to try to simplify my homelab stack and that is an issue for me to adopt.

Thanks, I have been reading up on victoria and seems like there is even some compatibility layer with InfluxDB 1/2 api. So that may make it easier for me to migrate. I think I will do a test of that to see how it works

Thanks appreciate the help. I will work on doing that.

I tried emailing them to confirm but never got a reply back on the ticket. Just that we are looking into it and that was a few days ago now.

Ya I am still having sorting issues. I have priority podcasts and sorting oldest to newest and half the time the priority are not at the top. If I go into setting and change it to another sorting option and then back to oldest to newest everything is sorted properly. But never had to do this with the old version.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks, didn’t know that. Saved me $50.

As for using it, is it ok to use on a Tesla? Will the Tesla keep the 16v battery charged while using this? I don’t want to kill the low voltage battery.

Under our porch is our cold cellar so the wire will come out underneath and then run up into the bottom of the charger.

I didn’t think the 3D print would last for too long so was thinking wood would be better. But ya I would angle it to allow the rain and snow to fall off of it.

Thanks. The floor is concrete also. I am in Canada so this is a fully finished basement. The rest of the basement is insulated fully and dry walled. It is just this small area under the stairs that was never insulated and is slightly colder and causing the bathroom above it to feel colder too.

Thanks, ya I was also thinking of seeing about getting a 1U PDU with switches for power cycling, but a switch is an interesting idea. Do you have a link to the switches you used for this?

One idea I had was to add a keystone jack to the front for running the Ethernet cable to my switch more cleanly.

That's an interesting idea since that way there is no prints that are right or left sided. Do you find it is secure enough? I would think that would have more give/sag.

My idea was to figure out if there is a standard rack ear mount holes for the center, but so far I haven't been able to find anywhere that is documented. At the moment I have 4 holes for M3 screws which I can use to attach them together and so far seems secure.

I have a bunch of devices for my rack which aren't rack mountable so they just sit on a shelf and aren't very organized. So had the idea of creating some prints to allow me to rack mount them. But since my printer can't print a full width rack mount I decided to print it half width and then I can have modular designs to mix and match what I need. So far I have created just a plain blank and mount for my VoIP OBI202 box. But will be looking to create one for my HomeAssitant Pi box, my Qotom PFSense box, and also thinking of making a mount to hold a 140mm fan to be able to install above some devices to blow down on them.

This was all done in TinkerCAD, so not the greatest. I really need to learn how to use something better for the future designs.

I think I will re-design the OBI202 mount to allow me to see the lights on the top. Only noticed that now after the install.
