I’m using a Chrome ast with Ghogle TV, simply because that’s what I had when I started.
Hoping a new Shield will come before it does, alternatively I need to find something else.After I migrated to a N100 that does all transcoding for me, the media device itself is more about codec support, a nice UI and response times and less about raw power.

I’ve been trying to get a hold of Magigoo for TPU, but it’s chronically sold out locally.
Have you tested it on smooth PEI, or just textured?
Appreciate the feedback!
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
Appreciate the insight mate! Much appreciated!
Tape seems to be a cheap way some of the “older” guys run with, so I have to test it at some point.
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 weeks ago:
Cool, well then I can at least share what I went with that has worked really well: GMKtech N100 NUC from Aliexpress with 16 GB of RAM.
It’s hosting Jellyfin with transcoding, PiHole, Home Assistant, Heimdal, a Valheim server and loads of other small LXC’s in Proxmox.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it break a sweat.
The NAS holds the .arr stack and Qbit, but that’s it.I cannot speak to the longevity of it, but I repasted the CPU once I got it and it’s chilling below 45 degrees all day long, so I expect it to last for many years. I also enabled C-states to get idle consumption as low as possible, around 7-8W.
Best of luck with whatever setup you end up with mate!
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 weeks ago:
I run a 4 bay and a N100 NUC.
The Synology is almost a pure storage machine. Works really well with Proxmox on the side. Not a single file has made it kneel yet, and I’ve thrown some high bitrate badboys on it.
Is not upgrading the drives an alternative?
I feel like you sacrifice a lot of practicality removing the NAS, such as automatic backup from phones and very easy remote access.
Personally I also prefer separating data and software, so I don’t lose it all if a component fails.Just my .02

You have my deepest condolances.
Come to the Nordics for a coolcation next year, but stay safe untill the heat wave passes my friend!
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the advice! I might try a small Z-offset for first layer
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
IPA is on the list of things to test. Cheers mate!
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the advice!
I ran a cold bed this time, but I’ve seen some say warming it up for removal also works.So many things to test in the future!
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
I need to make a spray bottle and have it by the printer, as IPA comes up quite often, although with varying results.
Worth a shot! - Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah you’re probably right. Different blends give different results.
Thanks for the filament advice. I try to purchase as locally as possible, but Geeetech is not etched into memory as a no-buy ABS!
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
I was already running at 30°C, but appreciate the advice nonetheless!
I’ll try completely off next time - Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
Cheers mate! Much appreciated
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
I see many use glass still. Old school way of doing it, but if it works then I guess it’s good!
I’m mostly leaning towards smooth PEI with glue for my next print. Hopefully that will be better than textured with no release agent. Fingers crossed and thanks for the feedback!
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
Wait what?
The freezer trick I’ve heard of, but baby powder?
Applied before printing then, I guess?My printer is enclosed and I’d wory about the aux fan blowing it everywhere.
Even with 0% fan for first layer, I’d never be able to perfectly distribute it under only the print… - Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
This is the first time I’ve had this much issue removing a print.
I knew it would stick fairly well on the textured PEI, but this was a whole new level. A bit surprised I didn’t peel it, to be honest.I’m leaning the same direction as those people: Buying a stick and keeping it around for those few times I do use TPU. PETG and PLA is still 98% of what I print, and they both come off easily on textured and PLA easily on smooth.
The question I’m stuck with though: Textured with glue or smooth with glue for TPU?
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
Could be interesting to play with in the future, once my confidence level on the material rises a bit.
Thanks for the tip! - Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen some people do this!
Any reason you opt for this over a stick? Seems like a lot more work - Comment on Tips for TPU? 2 weeks ago:
I’ll write this behind my ear for the next plate purchase! Thanks
- Comment on How to dry silica gel 2 weeks ago:
I’m not “allowed” to dry it in the kitchen, so I plan on throwing it in the filament dryer with something like this.
It maxes out at 65°C but I’m fairly confident 10+ hours should do the trick.
Luckily I live in a place where it lasts forever, so I’m probably only going to be doing it once or twice per year. My current containers are 3+ months old and I’m at 18 and 14% humidity, according to the AMS’s.

Honestly, for the price and reliability, it’s hard to beat them.
Personally I am unhappy with what they are doing, but acknowledge that buying a “no-fuzz, just works”-printer was the only way I would ever be allowed to have one in the house.
Now that the missus and kids love printing, it’s easier for me to get another that is open source.
If RatRig can get their Vcore 4 sorted, I’d love to grab one and have a project in the future. - Comment on Bambu Lab’s Controversial ‘Authorization Control’ Hits Budget 3D Printers 1 month ago:
Cheers, HA integration is on the plan for the future, I just strugle with time these days with a small kid and work.
- Comment on Bambu Lab’s Controversial ‘Authorization Control’ Hits Budget 3D Printers 1 month ago:
I wish I could.
Need to newer FW to use the drying function of the AMS2.I’m considering going back to LAN and just dealing with it though. I really prefer Orca over Studio
- Comment on Bambu Lab’s Controversial ‘Authorization Control’ Hits Budget 3D Printers 1 month ago:
I did this, but experienced a lot of issues connecting to it afterwards. Constant disconnects and it taking several minutes after opening Orca/Studio to find it.
Any advice, as I’d like to go back to LAN Mode?
Cheers
- Comment on Floodlights P1S with relay 1 month ago:
Thank you, mate!
I was considering running it switched with remote power, but the nerd in me wanted to cut wires, solder and “automate”, it that makes sense.
I guess I will regret it the next time I need to do some work with my head inside the chamber hehe.

- Comment on My First Homelab 1 month ago:
Yeah it makes no sense, yet it’s so much fun when stuff finally works like it should!
Everybody loves using Jellyfin at home, but they think I’m mad for spending countless hours setting up everything the first time, then a second time to improve, then a third time as I migrated HW.
Keep having fun with it mate! The possibilities are endless

No problem, friend.
Feel free to ask if you need some help setting stuff up and good luck!
