Interesting! I haven't had issues with ABS at stock temps in my X1C - 90C for the build plate - and I print a lot of large flat ish designs. I have had more trouble with PETG warping, and for HIPS I have to crank up the first layer to 110, then 100 for subsequent layers of it won't stick to the Engineering Plate with glue stick at all.

My chamber temps do tend to be a bit lower, since I have an exhaust fan hooked up the carbon filter fan output to vent outside since ABS and HIPS fumes are nasty.

But yes, I've found 10C or so can make a huge difference when things do go south, it just hasn't been an issue on my X1C for ABS, fortunately. Interesting to see how much a towel improves your chamber temps though!

Overall I love my X1C, one of the best decisions I made, don't miss my old kludgy FlashForge Creator Pro and all its quirks one bit.

This is why all Olympics - whether ceremonies or matches - get recorded on the DVR, so we can skip past all the nonsense.

Working around the topo naming problem isn't that big of a deal, for the most part, once you get the hang of it - often it's just a matter of reattaching sketches to the correct face, for example, and using parametric tables helps a lot as well.

To put it another way - I wouldn't avoid FreeCAD/Ondsel just because of this. And if it really, really is an issue, try a 0.22 dev build of FreeCAD for the interim.

Don't know why you are being voted down, you are 100% correct. RTLAAU.

Nope, it doesn't work that way. You have to umount it. You could reboot after removing it from fstab, but that's a bigger hammer than necessary.

You need to move the service file to the right directory, for starters.

Nope, they should not be executable.

It's fine, I have several UPSs on a critical loads panel that I'll run off an Ecoflow during extended power outages. And just for the heck of it, I've run my big office UPS directly off the EcoFlow all day. As I have rooftop solar this doesn't provide any daily benefit aside from backup, but it's perfectly fine to do so. It doesn't provide any economic benefit, most likely, though.

I would definitely use only a pure sine wave inverter. Fortunately these days it's mostly the norm.

Heh, typing YAML anywhere is squinty business. :⁠-⁠)

I use syncthing all over the place for this sort of thing. I have some sync directories that are multi way synced across multiple devices, others that are one-way drop targets to a specific device, others that are for operations like backing up photos. It's quite excellent with a good sync algorithm that rarely results in conflicts.
