Stoked to finally get my z-wave network set up! It looks like a paper towel holder but it’s glorious long range z-wave! 😁 #homelab #homeassistant

I made a (pizza) pie chart about it. It's scientific and peer reviewed by my siblings and close friends.

A pie chart captioned "Little Caesar's Pizza". 40% is labeled "Terrible", 55% is labeled "Mediocre", and 5% is labeled "Best Damn Pizza You've Ever Had".

I printed my 10y/o son a chess board, he had so much fun picking out the colors and pieces he wanted. Once it was finished then we of course played a game with it together. Listening to cozy music at night near our lit Christmas tree. My favorite use of #3dprinting is things to use with my family.

USS Voyager 3D Print. Incredibly happy with how this model turned out! The nacelles even rotate up for warp! The print profiles were great and I did very minimal cleanup. Super excited to print some of the other ships too! #3dprinting

Been printing some fidget toys for a local therapists office. They’re all small easy prints so they’re fun to do in between bigger projects. It also lets me use up filaments that only have small amounts left so that’s nice. #3dprinting

Days of printing but it’s finally done! The BLV AMS Riser! Printed with white and black PETG, as well as black TPU for the gaskets. Absolutely stoked with how it turned out! I’m super glad I stuck with it despite the long print times. Highly recommend the model. #3dprinting

A 3D printed riser for the Bambu printer AMS device. It sits above the printer and raises the AMS higher than it would normally sit. It includes white and black accents as well as storage drawers.

Doing my first TPU print! I installed a Y Splitter for the external spool so I don’t need to disconnect the AMS, and I’m really happy how it turned out. So now I’m printing from my dryer to keep things super dry during the print. Never printed TPU before. Wish me luck! 😅 #3dprinting

Currently halfway through an 18 hour print, part 1 of many, with Bambu PETG-HF. I’m printing the BLV AMS Riser. It’s a big print but I love all the features. I dried my filament so it’s looking ✨crisp✨. Model: makerworld.com/en/models/19... #3dprinting

No suggestions yet so here’s what I’ve got so far. My dashboard is all bubble cards because I love the look. I added a card with some “current status” info like percent complete, nozzle temp, and current layer. Also a button in the header to toggle the chamber LED. Pretty happy so far. #homelab

Interrupting my regularly scheduled Homelab posts to say I’m at the #avatarinconcert in SLC and I am FLOORED at how incredible of an experience this is. I have already completely lost it and been a blubbering mess to countless moments and it’s only intermission. Leaves on the Vine. Phenomenal. 😭

Hello fellow Homelab Enthusiasts! Here’s my modest Homelab I’ve been building over years. Some details: 2 Dell servers running Proxmox 1 Synology NAS 2 Raspberry Pi’s Ubiquiti networking & security 2 UPS’s at the bottom Running lots of fun stuff, I’ll probably do a thread on that later. #homelab

Me! 🙋‍♂️ Here’s my homelab I’ve spent several years building up! The two Dell servers are both running Proxmox as my hypervisor. I have way too much fun with this thing! 🤣

I asked ChatGPT “Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like.” I love the touch with the smoker. 🤣 Accurate.

The day has sucked hard. Staying busy has helped a little. I printed a dragon. It’s pretty.

This is Stardrop. She’s a shelter cat we adopted a couple months ago. She has been so shy, mostly staying under our bed observing. She has finally started venturing down to the main floor and discovering the fun down there, including a window right next to a bird feeder. She’s a total sweetheart.

A lil something I like to do is listen to Mr Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra while browsing my Skyline. (That’s the term we settled on right?) Just feels fun. Silly little thing to do but I like it.

A few things have changed since I took these photos but this is my office. I now use dual monitors instead of the single super ultrawide. I also have a Steelcase Leap v2 chair now. (Thank goodness for my back) My wife uses the Surface Studio 2 and sits next to the decor shelving.

One of my hobbies is astrophotography. I love taking photos of the Milky Way. These are two photos I took a few years ago. The second is really cool because a train passed me while I was taking a shot of the silo and Milky Way and it had a super cool effect.

Today I opened my garage door to leave and this adorable bird flew in and sat on my car hood! It’s apparently a yellow rumped warbler, affectionately known as a butter butt! 😂 He chilled there for a bit while we admired him, then he flew out! Lovely visit from a cute lil guy!
