  • 100% agree with you re: Proxmox. I’ve recently migrated my gaming PC to a Proxmox setup with a Win10 gaming / VR VM, and a Debian 12 VM solely dedicated to serving, quantizing, and optimizing LLM (with full 3090FE vfio passthrough 😁). The other one I have is a super old mini-ITX tiny box with an i3-4130 in it, and I use it for a Plex LXC b/c my NAS has a CPU that doesn’t support hardware transcoding (even though I’ve literally showed all my clients how to disable transcoding completely so they all get direct streams / direct plays at original quality to their devices), just in case some transcoding needs to be done.

    So I decided to set up the Cluster/Node bit a few days ago, and it is SO awesome to have instant access to both servers at one URL and interface to manage all my VMs/LXCs. I’ve only had one problem with Proxmox since I started using it a couple years ago, and I’ve loved everything else about it!

    In the spirit of “why not right?”, here’s one of my favorite random services I run: https://github.com/jordan-dalby/ByteStash I love being able to save little snippets that I know in the moment I will hit myself later if I have to look it up again.











  • Heh - I currently have everything set up for the glass bed mod, except I just read that it doesn’t work with the CR touch sensor, so I’ll need to get a BT Eddy sensor or sonar something. I’ll also need to print a new gantry, and I’ve already tried one that didn’t work as well as the stock one, so just waiting to do more research on that, and then I’ll have my glass bed all set up!

    Edit: oh yeah! So the way I calibrated it was:

    • I removed the extruder from the gantry (3 screws)
    • I fed in some filament (cold, obv) until I could see it on the bottom of the extruder
    • Flush cut the filament
    • Issue some commands to extrude 100mm
    • Flush cut that segment off again (try to cut exactly the same as before)
    • Use digital calipers to measure that piece
    • then just calculate your new value and run the test again to see if it extrudes exactly 100mm
    • enjoy amazing prints
