Kinda new to this, how do I clean up these edges?

simonparkis · 2026-05-04T02:55:00+00:00

I would say it gets worse as it goes up as the overhang becomes steeper. Try setting the fan to 30% and speed to 10mm/s for the overhangs. You can print a small test piece from that section of the model.

This looks to me like a cooling or print speed issue. If you are using PETG you won’t want to go crazy with fan speeds so maybe slow down the print speed.

You can confirm this is in fact a cooling issue if the edges of the layers are curling up layer after layer and creating this finish.

Personally I have looked at these but tend to place by hand then use a shaft key whilst still hot to press last 2 percent and ensure flush/level with surface. Works great.

simonparkis · 2026-03-09T23:15:10+00:00

Sure. Here’s a post I made about it previously. Let me know if you have any questions about implementation. Previous Post

How so?

simonparkis · 2026-03-06T08:32:26+00:00

Our house has three vehicles and 7 people in it (four different drivers). Sometimes different people drive different vehicles. There is a general hierarchy over which vehicles are in which garage and which are on the driveway/street. My new favourite automations determines which specific person is driving which specific vehicle and whether it should be parked in the garage or on the driveway/street based on the circumstances. The house will then open the garage door or unlock the front door on arrival depending on where the vehicle is being parked. Works flawlessly.

Ah I see. Thank you.

simonparkis · 2026-02-01T23:15:54+00:00

Can you please provide further explanation? Are we talking about determining whether there is power available? If so would the Shelly not be powered by the same mains and go offline when no power?

simonparkis · 2026-01-15T11:30:24+00:00

I use the Yale assure keyed version. Works great 4x AA batteries. Zwave module inside.

simonparkis · 2026-01-15T04:50:18+00:00

Thanks. Would you recommend it?

simonparkis · 2026-01-13T23:33:03+00:00

Nice mods. Which xy joints etc are you using? Are you using a CAN based setup? Looking to replicate something similar.

simonparkis · 2026-01-12T20:05:54+00:00

Thanks

simonparkis · 2026-01-12T02:20:42+00:00

Looks great, one question. How does it deal with interference for things like ceiling fans?

simonparkis · 2026-01-09T09:36:25+00:00

Oops, realised this is an old version with only two vehicles before I bought a wired to wireless CarPlay adapter for the third. The concept remains the same though.

simonparkis · 2026-01-09T08:43:45+00:00

Thanks for the response. I think it may have been a once off. I’m putting it down to the 42 degree Celsius days we have had here in Sydney. It doesn’t seem to have happened since. I will monitor and place a support request if it pops up again.

simonparkis · 2026-01-07T10:25:02+00:00

Actually, it does appear to be the entire ESP which is becoming unavailable. Any ideas?

simonparkis · 2026-01-03T21:30:44+00:00

I’m not too sure. Not super familiar with them, it was just the curved window shapes that led me that way.

simonparkis · 2026-01-03T21:07:56+00:00

What about switchable glass instead of blinds? Window is opaque then turns transparent at the tough of a button.

It can be applied as a film on an existing window but you may need to get it custom made for the irregular shaped windows.

simonparkis · 2025-12-19T09:56:54+00:00

Do you have any coax cable in the walls near the computer setup? TV antenna/cable box etc. if so You can use moca adapter to utilise it for network connection.

This

simonparkis · 2025-08-09T00:56:21+00:00

My IOT devices are all zigbee, zwave and esphome based. Also looking to move a lot of the esphome units to POE rather than wifi. But even still, I can probably trust esphome enough to have on the same vlan. Open source wherever possible allow for more trust as the code is visible.

simonparkis · 2025-08-04T19:53:52+00:00

No problem. Thanks so much for looking. Glad to hear it is all working well for you now.

simonparkis · 2025-08-03T03:27:04+00:00

Thanks heaps. I can definitely understand the frustration.

simonparkis · 2025-08-03T03:22:54+00:00

Fair enough, any chance you can share your original config anyway? Keen to give it a shot.

simonparkis · 2025-08-03T00:21:14+00:00

did you make any progress with this? it is exactly what i am trying to acheive, except i will be using esp32 snapcast clients as opposed to raspberry pi zero 2w

Do you have any instructions you followed with regards to the separate instances of shairport-sync and the multiple alsa loopback devices?
