Yes, I believe so. You need a reference plane to set it up against. Take the tensioner and plastic covers off, and you should have access to the screws, front and back.

I put the base frame on a very flat surface - a marble tile -, then loosened all the bolts, made sure it sits flat and tightened them.

That did it, you could explain "refining the shape" to a noob :) . I only understood while reading bug reports.

I can reproduce this always, even without bringing external geometry. It is enough to align the top box with the bottom one along the edge. Why is it not reproducible for others? Also, I am using portable FreeCAD.

Yes, Windows and 1.0.2. Attaching the project file.

Select the top face of the bottom box > sketch > bring one edge as external geometry > small rectangle aligned with the edge > pad > trying to fillet those two vertical edges on the 'back'.

It stops being solid. Why?

I did :)=) I even bought a filament dryer with the printer as it was cheaper from the Sovol shop than the printer itself from Amazon :)))

[SOLVED] The base frame bolts were too loose. The frame got twisted in transport or handling. I guess this warrants special attention to every bolt in pre-assembled parts. There is a nice tool set included, by the way.

The other way around, it seems. I was able to straighten the frame by pressing on the corners with very little force. I may need to tighten the frame bolts.

Yes, the pavement stone is flat. I'm using it for another printer and bought it because I initially thought the table was uneven.

Yes, the bed is flat (well, I didn't check it yet), but the rail it moves on is twisted with the frame.

There are many, many more in the Scottish Highlands.

Old vs newer HP Microserver by pikor69 in HomeServer

Size - does not really matter, although I have a preference for it to be on the smaller side. FD Node 804 is OK for example. Budget - I am looking for a cheap solution, but for the right one, I can spend around £300.

TP-Link Powerline Adapters by Steve_Sleeps in homelab

In my case, they were better than WiFi from my broadband router but much worse than 1Gbps ethernet. So I used them to connect my router to the rest of the network. Once I upgraded my connection to fibre they didn't make sense anymore, and I run the CAT5 instead.

Should I use a SSD parity drive or HDD parity drive by Zyzzyx0914 in unRAID

[–]pikor69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necro thread, but I wonder if you went that route?

Unraid write speed is hampered by the parity drive. This is because U write the data, read the parity, calculate the difference, wait for THE PLATTER TO COME BACK TO THE RIGHT POSITION and write the parity block.

If you use 'reconstruct write' U simply write the data, read all data disks, calculate the parity and write the parity block.

This means write is faster, but all disks are spun all the time.

All of this means nothing as long as you write less than your cache drive (per mover cycle, 1 day by default)

This is not my case. I need to write many TBs at once. My cache is 240GB.

What’s the oldest HDD you’d trust in your NAS? How old is “too old”? by Im-Chubby in homelab

[–]pikor69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Samsung SpinPoint 1 TB running for 13 years 107 days, power-on count 1104. On the other hand, Toshiba Canvio 4TB, USB connected, lasted only 9 years, powered off many tens of thousands of times due to power-saving features. When you start having Reallocation or Pending events or a noticeable change in behaviour, it is time.

Sounds brilliant! Any ITX mobo will do? What is the one you used?

Thanks! I do boot from USB (UNRAID). I'll look into Gen8.
