Get an A1 mini from Bambu labs you won’t regret it unless you like mental punishment stay away from an ender or clone

Don’t know where your at in the world but micro center has been offering ender 3 $100

I use the z min endstop for mine and it works perfectly I hear too many issues with the dedicated port but you need to flash the firmware for using the z min endstop or it will not work

HaHa I saw this and just assumed you had a printer it lookks like its good and wan planning to print it

^this is the way search the specs on your machine to confirm thermal runaway is enabled and I would consider putting crimped ferules on you mainboard wires if the are solder tinnned and in screw terminals as this is a notorious weak spot and potential fire hazard

Why would spend $30 on prints the files you posted will cost literally cents to make so have at it a roll of filament goes a long way its a little deceiving when looking at it

I'm not sure what the connection is between a 3d printer and you PC components, are you asking if you can run the slicer on your PC? if so the answer is yes the slicer is lightweight and will not load anything on a PC, an Ender 3 pro or v2 or now the new ender 3 v3 are quite capable units most of us run a raspberry pi and octoprint the v3 looks really nice for a beginner they have come a long way since I got in on the action most slicers are free there is cura, prusa slicer and now super slicer for which I use it has pre configured settings for a ton of printers so its basically plug and play my recommendation is you watch 1000 youtube videos until you know the printer with a blindfold on then you will have a better 1st time experience

^this it clearly shows that something was soldered on those 2 solder pads and those wires are clearly part of that bundle go for it what could happen other than experiencing the joy of magic smoke!

You talking about something like this? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3876834

You look to be just a bit too far from the bed you would adjust that with baby stepping but looking good

Yes this, do yourself a favor and buy a cheap ferule kit and install ferules on all your wires you will find as you progress that you will be printing overnight or while unattended and this is insurance that you'll have a house to come home to

As the title implies would be nice looks like LTT is having a go more with 3D stuff both FDM and resin

Don't do it price is right everything else is not thing will drive you outta the room with noise and power hungry they are

Home built NAS: Intel I7 6700 32GB DDR4 3200 OS Unraid 4tb Parity 1.5TB SSD cache 7 4tb data drives (28TB) 10gb duel port nic UPS power backup Plex media server 12 dockers 2 VM's (Home assistant) (Win10) 4 years old running flawless since implementation have had several power outages with no adverse affect

Its a backup if its part of a 3 2 1 backup strategy but is not as a standalone device parity is to protect the array in event of a disk failure if the server was your only source location for archived files and your array bit the dust for any one of various reasons you would lose the only data source you have so hence no backup

In theory that should be how it goes but who wants to take that chance especially in a server where you would expect i/o activity potentially happening not to mention the mere fact that your cpu was just torched with heat can't be good for longevity albeit a very few would actually die as a result

As stated above a water cooled system would be nice but not practical if you built your server on the basis of high availability a pump failure is just one more thing to go wrong

Install the wireguard app in unRAID nuf said

X2 go with open media vault the learning curve is short and for your use case its spot on

X2 I agree with the above I would build a rig from scratch over a used enterprise system there can be a lot of headaches configuring enterprise gear for home use such as what your wanting to do you can build a nice unit for the budget you have, My unRAID server is built off of an I7 6700 and it works quite well

Good machine overall sound wise is moderate in the beginning takes a little getting used to I have an R710 and a R410 stay away from 1U they are incredibly loud for home use my R710 is my backup unRAID server and works great

Yes it will work but hope your power is cheap retired enterprise servers are power hungry and for the most part loud as heck sounds like your looking at an R710?

Just setup your server os of choice and put a plex media server on it. I'm running plex, sonarr, radarr lidarr, homeassistant, and around a dozen dockers and I'm running about 50% of my cpu still has gas in the tank you should be fine a long as your os of choice has the options described

If you look at my signature you will see I built my unRAID sever from a pre-built and it is rock solid you should be fine although depending on if you go with say freeNAS/trueNAS they seem to be ram dependant but you should be fine

Have been working directly from the machine control ui, no luck
