This advertisement for an awful commercial software package with a restrictive license in NO WAY helps the original poster learn FreeCAD.

You may want to consider going with a more DIY build vs the Ecoflow. I have one, and it's a good backup power solution, or for running a cooler fridge when camping, but it is not a UPS nor well suited to running daily loads (mine does not have LFP battery chemistry, so is only rated for something like 800 cycles).

I'd go check out what folks are doing for this sort of arrangement at https://diysolarforum.com - lots of good stuff there.

Every time I try to do the same thing I just end up renewing my Sublime. I've spent hours configuring and trying other editors and I just can't do it in the end - Sublime is so fast, productive, bloat-free, and perfect. I'll be watching this though for next time, because I know I'll try again at some point. Good luck!

Darn it, we'll never know if the cat gets reunited! It was a fun and unique, if too short, game.

The ideal case for me is that I don't need HACS at all. My experience has been the same - I've happily been able to switch to core HA components and stop using HACS ones. It's great to see HA is not idle with success, they are continuing to make new features even when backwards compatibility may break.

I love my A6X2 Nomad, it's a great device. Note that it's an Android based device. For me, I have no interest in hacking it, side loading Android apps, or running Linux on it. It does exactly what I want it to out of the box and serves its purpose perfectly as a low power digital notebook.

I record everything on Plex off an antenna/hdhomerun and fast forward through all the cruft. We can watch about 3-4 hours of coverage each hour depending on the sport. There's no way I could watch it live. Plex will get a bit confused about whether or not an episode is new or not, so to prevent it missing anything I post process each file into a new library and fix up the episode name with a timestamp. This does result in some repeated recordings, but we just delete any matches we've already seen. Been doing it this way for the last few Olympics and it's manageable.

I love this feature too - never having to worry about filament running out and using up the last bit of every spool is so handy.

Still waiting for 0.2.0 to hit the main fdroid repo, hopefully it's soon...

Simple - I don't worry about it at all, I just load up a second spool of compatible material and let the printer switch when the first spool runs out (X1C with AMS).

Interesting! I haven't had issues with ABS at stock temps in my X1C - 90C for the build plate - and I print a lot of large flat ish designs. I have had more trouble with PETG warping, and for HIPS I have to crank up the first layer to 110, then 100 for subsequent layers of it won't stick to the Engineering Plate with glue stick at all.

My chamber temps do tend to be a bit lower, since I have an exhaust fan hooked up the carbon filter fan output to vent outside since ABS and HIPS fumes are nasty.

But yes, I've found 10C or so can make a huge difference when things do go south, it just hasn't been an issue on my X1C for ABS, fortunately. Interesting to see how much a towel improves your chamber temps though!

Overall I love my X1C, one of the best decisions I made, don't miss my old kludgy FlashForge Creator Pro and all its quirks one bit.

This is why all Olympics - whether ceremonies or matches - get recorded on the DVR, so we can skip past all the nonsense.
