  • Search around for cheap VPS deals and start from there. That’s what I ended up doing. Yes, if you have the hardware available and lying around, absolutely. However, whatever I ender up hosting I wanted it to be accessible when I’m on the go. There’s always the ability to roll out tailscale or another VPN back to my home network but I rather keep the home network fully inaccessible from the outside. Just personal preference.

    How difficult was it for you to configure your self-hosted instance of FMD?

    I already have a server which I use to self host owntracks. However, I don’t know much about nginx and after using the automated owntracks installer, I can’t seem to properly configure reverse proxy for anything else eg. Linkwarden.













  • I have and still use an Ender 3 V2.

    One of the many upgrades which i think makes the most improvent / quality of life upgrade is the Z level probe. Either a BL touch or a CR touch will work. It helped me tram the bed as well as built a mesh of the bed.

    “Professional firmware” is also a good upgrade. Lots of improvements over the stock Creality firmware.

    Once you have been printing with it for some time and feel like tinkering a bit more, “Belted Z” mod for the Ender 3 v2 is another upgrade I did which was really great. It replaces 1 lead screw for 2 belts on each end of the X gantry to prevent sagging.

    I also recently upgraded from the stock ender glass beds and replaced it with PEI sheets. I get the choice of either textured or smooth beds and the prints pop right off. No need to wait for it to cool down or having to pop it in the freezer. LOL





  • Something different and possibly unique / whimsical.

    A lot of train stations have a rubber stamp + ink pad of the station name and a logo / picture. As you trvel around Tokyo via their excellent public transport system, look around or ask their staff where the “ike-stamp” is.

    It became a very unique souvenir of my holiday there.

    Also along the same line, most shrines you visit will have an office where you can purchase a “shrine book” and for a few hundred yen, have a staff write in it the name of the shrine and the date you were there. Another unique souvenir.
