I do on some of mine because it makes some of the automation i have for them simpler to maintain when it is also applied to x86 hardware or virtual machines. It used to be a huge pain to use on a pi but it works pretty well these days, especially since about 24.04 I want to say.

All of the advice here is great but that is a Bambu printer, you should run its calibration routine again I would say and see what it says it also should be able to compensate if the bed is warped if you tell it to do bed leveling (unless the A1 doesn’t do that, I think it does though).

Also, when you say collisions is the printer colliding with itself or the part? You can also run an homing routine and manually move the hotend around to see if it has issues.

Also RE the local event, is the air temp really hot where you are? You might need extra part and hotend cooling if the ambient temp is like 40C or something. I mean like tweak the slicer not put an external fan on it necessarily hah.

It’s funny you say that, I have one of those but he actively demands that I turn the water on so he can drink from it hah!

He definitely has enough water bowls around including directly next to that sink, he has done that since he was a kitten. No idea why, I just work here :D

In case anyone here doesn’t follow it, Ivan’s YouTube channel is awesome, he has been working on a crazy marble clock: https://youtu.be/K3FMVmAte3g

ProperPrinting is also great, he has some cool videos on custom extruders and printers he designed and a wild extruding resin printer with UV lasers.

Oh it is certainly not just you, I am sometimes confused reading them even for commands I have used for years and I know what flag I am looking for but don’t remember the exact syntax or something hah! I am glad they are there but they are definitely not a complete guide to any command, especially built-ins.

Interestingly, this is something AI has been very useful for to me, less searching because I can describe the outcome I want and it figures out what I am talking about generally.

Okay so the disks aren’t also on UPS? That might actually be even worse than the whole thing getting turned off, ZFS is definitely not meant to be run on removable disks like that.

Okay so when you say “unplug the power” do you mean shut it down first or just pull the plug? The latter is a great way to corrupt your storage pools as ZFS uses memory for read and write cache etc by default. You definitely need to do a graceful shutdown especially if there is data that was recently written to disk, that’s why a UPS is so recommended. That said you can usually import an existing pool when that happens, I think there is a UI menu for it now.

As others have said, be careful with fans if they are large, many of the plugs don’t have a very high wattage rating and are all definitely rated for 15a at max usually, you might consider a smart relay instead (like a Shelly or something).

That said I have switches and plug-in and in-wall relays from Aqara (zigbee) and TP-Link (WiFi) and zooz (zwave) and all are fine and do the job. Not all support power monitoring if that is something that matters to you, it’s not a universal feature.

Have you tried adding 239.255.255.250/32 to your outbound subnets variable? This is the multicast address for SSDP which mDNS ultimately relies on if I remember right, I recall having to do this for Plex in the past.

In addition to what others have said there is an interesting video from Veratasium about that NIST department, they have a wild variety of items.

Just to make sure, all of your links need to be in quotes if they are not. The : in a url can make some yaml parsers think that it is another block, there are other URL safe characters in general that are special characters in yaml so it’s a good idea to put them in quotes.

In addition to everyone’s suggestions, have you tried rotating the part so it is at a 45 on the bed? This will keep the printer from accelerating as much in the Y direction since it is not a straight motion, I used to have to do that for tall prints on my Mk3 sometimes.

Also, if I were printing that part I would flip it over unless there is some reason you can’t. You might also get more rigidity using normal supports for the large surface facing the bed, might print faster too, tree supports for large areas take a while for me usually.
