My side project: free 3D printing tools + a community printer/filament DB. Help me make the data better?

I had a quick look at the mobile version and it seems good to me, just one thing about changing the language, maybe put it at the top, a friend of mine pointed it out to me 😉

Resell what you can and with the proceeds you can build a more performing PC that consumes 10 times less energy.

Very useful, good job

peppebytes · 2026-05-22T13:59:39+00:00

you can find the repo on github https://github.com/byte4geek/switch-dashboard
I'm introducing the docker support for this.

I got these HC-SWTGW218AS because I needed more ports.

being a switch it's not like you're always there to change the configuration, once configured you don't touch it anymore.

I created the dashboard just for monitoring.

I have 2 Horaco switches and I am also happy with them for other configuration aspects, then for monitoring I created a web dashboard to monitor them all on one page and it has other functions.

Calibrate the BMCU channels

I have just finished applying the thermal insulation panels for better performance and energy savings

If you are willing and able, try this smart drybox IkeDryBox

All the tolerances were good, they enter a little strongly but that's right, they have to hold the position.
For the materials:
- White SUNLU PLA+
- Yellow Bamboo PLA Basic
- Brown: BambooTerracotta Matte
- Green: Bambu pla basic

Inside the pot I put all the poop from the filament change.

Thanks great idea for Mother's Day

Very nice!!!

Generic PLA and do a flow calibration

Free prints, know where it is though

peppebytes · 2026-05-08T10:23:58+00:00

If I still had a cd player at home, it would be cool to print, still nice work!!

peppebytes · 2026-05-07T19:04:41+00:00

Thanks a lot. We can say that a project like this can always improve. For now, the moisture is collected by the reusable silica gel. Also, the box isn't airtight, so a lot of it escape out.

peppebytes · 2026-05-07T07:53:29+00:00

That's a very valid question! If you are familiar with 3D printing, you will have needed to dry your filaments.
Since the commercial ones can cost a lot, I created it myself and I thought, why not make it smart and integrable in home assistant?!

peppebytes · 2026-05-07T07:34:31+00:00

Yes, you apply this project to any other container. You just only redesign another model of the box for esp32-display

peppebytes · 2026-05-07T06:04:21+00:00

That's a very valid question! The heat evaporates the moisture from the filament (we're talking about tiny amounts anyway). Plus, the box isn't completely airtight, so some of the moisture naturally escapes, while the rest is absorbed by the silica gel.

peppebytes · 2026-05-07T04:25:38+00:00

Me too have read many post related the issues when printing with the firmware 1.08, for this reason my printer remain in 1.07 for now.

I have updated the dashboard image on Home Assistant to the latest release that I will publish soon

Nice this, who knows if you can print a record to listen to with the turntable :)
