  • Thanks for your quick description! Did some reading and I can see why people are excited now. Right now I’m renting and doing a smaller area that my one router/zigbee radio covers pretty well, but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on Matter over Thread. Based on what I read looks like a great protocol system as I get into widespread coverage. It’s exciting Matter is becoming a standard for all manufacturers and is compatible with local only stuff!






  • Not sure what type of humidifier that is but you may need a rotary one to get lower. There’s a technology connections video on them. They essentially are silica that’s constantly dis/recharging. They’re very energy inefficient but don’t have the same performance limits as compressor based systems.

    I got one earmarked for exactly this before I moved. They’re simple enough I was planning gutting it and adding smarts using ESPHome. But moisture hasn’t been an issue for me so the project is a low priority.

    I have been mostly happy with my flashforge AD5X starting as a newbie. Its got a good range of material capabilities, but 95% of the time I’m printing PLA anyway. PLA is the most common filament by far.

    I will say I have had two hot ends (the part the filiment comes out of) get covered in enough filament they broke during a misprint ($40 repair each).

    I don’t really have experience with other makes/models but that is my loose endorsement of the AD5X. My only real complaint is how expensive the nozzles are compared to other brands.
