    There is a template tab in developer services. Should be prefilled with some examples. You can play around here like a scratch pad to test out your own. Also some decent help to follow in the forums too. Not sure if avalanche or snowball is the best method to move that many automations over.

    Give in and dive all in to Home Assistant. It's great. I have been running it since Jan 2017. It's much more polished and put together these days. So much can get done right in the frontend now. I just stick to reading release blogs and checking the breaking changes section for sure. They have...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    I agree. As cool as a 2.4 is, I really liked how much simpler a Trident is. The only pro I will miss from the 2.4 is a lower center of gravity, but I'm really not trying to be a speed benchy guy. What parts failed on the extruder? What material are they made of?

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    I have recently found this thread myself. I have been using my Prusa Mk3s+ to print off all the parts for a Voron Trident Build. Nice prints btw, I like that legend in the lid of the box a lot.

    The concepts do apply. I use Inventor myself which is pretty close to Fusion360. Picking up good design techniques for additive manufacturing is the key. I really liked that he put that series together for the community.

    My trick is to get them nice and straight and in order. Then pinch about 3/8" to 1/2" between my thumb and finger. Then use cutters to get rid of the excess right next to my thumb. Then those short wires should slight right in to the right depth. Recheck your order before crimping because...

    I want to hop in to give you a little tip on your RJ-45 ends. Make sure the outer jacket slips into the end past the plastic crimp. That gives the end some strain relief and keeps the wires twisted as long a possible. It should look like the one on the left: I'm a big networking/home...

    I see you stumbled into r/flashlight too. I have a few of Hank's offerings as well. Great shop and efficient use of space. I love the organization of it all as well. Something to live up to.

    Insulation Selection for 2x4 Trusses, 2ft OC?

    Keep in mind that attic venting has nothing to do with the insulation of your conditioned space. It's to keep the roof deck at the same ambient temp as outside during the winter to prevent ice dams. Only thing you need to worry about is making sure you insulation does not block the soffit vents...
