I would double and triple check your not transcoding. Even if you’re watching on the client at whatever the files native resolution is depending on the codec of the file you might still be transcoding. For instance with 1080p anything h265 or AV1 is transcoded into h264 by the server. There’s also a few other situations where Plex with force transcoding or down convert the video whether you want it to or not.

Your NAS shouldn’t be having trouble serving the file to Plex I’d bet it’s transcoding in the background and you just don’t realize it.

Not to be pedantic but Earnhardt died at Daytona not Talladega.

Ive seen people use beeswax as a mold release, it apparently works really well as a release and fills in the layer lines in the mold so that don’t transfer to the cast. Or at least that what I’ve read.

I wouldn’t look for voron stuff at Microcenter unless you feel like there’s no better option. The few times I’ve seen the stuff they sell it all looks like older outdated versions of the parts.

But on the opposite end games are only getting bigger and fast internet is still semi expensive so having large drives would be beneficial to people that want to keep multiple games installed on their PC/console.

Everything with a processor has firmware. Unless you’re running a screw type press to print from your PC then your printer has firmware.

I printed a Bento Box filter for my enders when I started printing ABS. These seem to work pretty well but make sure you get the right carbon and good enough fans. Another printed option is the nevermore but that’s mostly associated with voron printers.

Ahh, didn’t know this was a thing

Beacon and cartographer are both Eddy current sensors and both do nozzle contact probing too. E3d has their Revo PZ with does nozzle contact probing with a peizo sensor if you’re in that ecosystem.

My NAS is on an embedded Xeon that at this point is close to a decade old and one of my proxmox boxes is on an Intel 6500t. I’m not really running anything on any really low spec machines anymore, though earlyish in the pandemic I was running boinc with the Open Pandemics project on 4 raspberry pis.

I appreciate the usage of the pi 1 and not one of the newer versions.

I bought a Grandstream GWN7660 last year and it seems pretty good, it replaced a ubiquity WAP that I still have legacy devices connected to.

The marlin build from creality is fine but klipper is another option if you’ve got a raspberry pi or an unused PC lying around.

I think there’s also some marlin forks around for ender 3s but I’ve never looked into those.
