How it started: mp80
I bought a MiniPC (Blackview MP-80) to run Home Assistant and some lights etc. to go with it.

It’s now exactly one year later this is what my setup looks like now:
BMAX B2 Pro --> Home Assistant OS Blackview MP-80 --> Proxmox --> Nextcloud-AIO & Immich
ODROID H4+ --> Proxmox --> TrueNAS

How it’s going: odroid
With the heatwave in Europe I’ve now installed cooling to keep my HDD’s from heating up.

I know it’s Janky as hell, but I love it. The plan going forward is to buy a 3D Printer so that I can 3D Print a custom 10" rack, and I’ll build my own cooling and temperature monitoring system with ESP32 and create a dashboard for it in Home Assistant and sorting out networking.

It’s a work in progress, having a lot of fun learning and adding new things.

      Yea not super thrilled with bambu lab for the privacy concerns but the printer itself is good. I just use it in lan only mode and block any outgoing network traffic on my router.

      But there are other brands that are good. Ive heard prusa is nice but never tried them.

      Thanks <3

      I’m going to go with the Sovol SV06 Plus ACE , I’m a big advocate for Open Source, so anything that requires proprietary software isn’t really an option for me.

      I live in a tiny apartment, so my biggest hurdle with getting a 3D printer right now is space.
