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.
It's not as much as you might think, plus you have to purge to switch filaments with a single nozzle design. I would argue my Bambu saves filament on the balance because print failure is so low.
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.
Working around the topo naming problem isn't that big of a deal, for the most part, once you get the hang of it - often it's just a matter of reattaching sketches to the correct face, for example, and using parametric tables helps a lot as well.
To put it another way - I wouldn't avoid FreeCAD/Ondsel just because of this. And if it really, really is an issue, try a 0.22 dev build of FreeCAD for the interim.
Don't know why you are being voted down, you are 100% correct. RTLAAU.
When I'm forced to, and not before then. X works perfectly well so there's no reason for me to switch to something else with less features.
Reboot to the snapshot you took of the root fs before starting the update, then just rerun the upgrade. If you are using btrfs (or ZFS) make use of its features so you never have this sort of problem.
Nope, Plan9 is too old - I run Hurd.
(Yes, this is a joke)
Yes, i3 is not automatic, but you can arrange things however you want - it's definitely something where you need to read the docs first.
Strange! Nothing jumps out at me as being an obvious problem with your setup. I'm doing something similar, though instead of rtlamr2mqtt (which I didn't know about) I have a bash script run via cron that parses rtlamr output via jq and pipes that to mqtt (mosquitto), but there's very little to it. I know the energy dashboard setup is picky about the energy recording entities.
Mine looks like:
state_class: total_increasing
unit_of_measurement: ft³
device_class: gas
friendly_name: Gas Meter
The name of the entity is sensor.gas_meter
and the state is currently 113812
as an example.
Might be worth reading through GitHub issues for rtlamr2mqtt, including closed ones, if you haven't already. Or maybe a hass restart? Can't think of anything else.
Yeah, it's just "one of those things" with FreeCAD, and is definitely not intuitive.
This is noted on the wiki, for what it's worth - "The centers of the circles and arcs are used to position the holes, but please note that their radii are not taken into account. The generated holes will be identical even if the radii vary".
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.
