    If the printer is fully enclosed (door and lid closed) and the print is long enough. The heat from the hotend and bed can build up in the chamber, causing heat creep. The chamber temperature is not monitored. Since the nozzle and heatbreak are one piece, removing the clog is a bit more involved.

    I’ve had to do it 3 times since I bought the printer on release. All were 12+ hour PLA prints and done after high temperature filament prints (nylon and abs).

    The issue is entirely preventable, just me forgetting to open the door on long prints lol.







  • The rifle configuration parts were printed on a Bambu Labs P1P, but the pistol/original parts (not pictured) were printed on an Ender 3. The pistol/ender printed parts had some minor warping issues, but it didn’t seem to affect the gun’s performance. The warping was only on the external edges, so it only affected aesthetics.

    When my ender was my main printer, I had less success printing with PETG (sticking to nozzle instead of bed, more warping, sticking too well to painters tape and integrating the tape with the print). Try putting an enclosure over the printer or putting it in a small room, the ambient temperature increase should lower the chance of warping. I’ve found that cleaning the bed while it’s hot with alcohol works a bit better than when its cold.

    PETG is a great filament if you can get it working, my only complaint is that the printer needs to be tuned more precisely than with PLA (bed level that works for PLA might not work for PETG).


  • 3 Proxmox machines, and an offsite windows machine/fileserver.

    2 of the Proxmox machines are small low power machines hosting critical VMs (Omada SDN, Pihole, security, etc). The 3rd Proxmox machine is a cse846 w/ Plex/openmediavault/high performance applications running on it. There are 2 2U UPSs connected to an ATS which sends power to the servers. When the primary UPS is drained, the cse846 machine shuts down to extend the uptime of the two low power machines.

    All VMs use the openmediavault VM to store files (camera recordings, plex media, etc.). The Openmediavault VM automatically backs itself up to the offsite windows machine using Syncthing.


  • Haven’t fired it (with the 16 inch barrel) yet, but plan to get some range time soon. Everything but the butt printed in gst3d PLA+, the butt is some no-name brand TPU.

    Its a shame about gst3d no longer shipping filament, gonna make it difficult to color match if/when a part breaks.

    UZI barrels are about 1/4mm larger in diameter than “stock” barrel. You only need to modify the inter diameter of the screw collar and everything fits perfectly.


  • Joined near the end of 2013. First video on Youtube was the SNES corruption video, first stream was Joel’s Windows XP destruction. I really miss the ‘vinebumps’ that would play on repeat between streams. Always someone to talk to in the Chatango chat.

    iirc, game streams were on the Vinesauce Twitch channel and the vinebumps/intermissions were on the uStream channel. The website would automatically switch between them depending on if the Twitch channel was live or not.
