Help getting Vase Mode dialled for my A1

I've moved from Cura + Wanhao to Orca + Bambu

I'm struggling with getting a solid Vase mode setup for some (quite challenging) vase mode terrain prints.

I'm using a 0.4 nozzle with PLA, same as I used on my Cura / Wanhao combo with zero issues.

There are two problems:

  1. The slicer seems to "miss" layers in certain areas, leaving gaps on the preview; and

  2. These same gaps appear in my print (see pic).

I've tried 0.6mm walls, slow (40mm/sec) speeds, volumetric capped at 8, constant fan.

Nothing seems to be helping.

The files seem to be printable (according to the makes on Cults) https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/vmt-conduit-pack?__cf_chl_tk=0EJI0cIAQuKCx_nxO3jTKCHexExzpJWTT7AwW0sOhJY-1791103066-1.0.1.1-XioYZoyg3wS_CoqPkN18yeiNXDClil_Bn1OZRIx1vCk

I'd be grateful for any ideas. The VMT conduit pack linked above has small pipe sections I can test with.

[Linux 26.9.27] Proxy clips display black. But only if trimmed in source window first.

I'm very confused. Trying proxy editing for the first time on a low-spec but portable device (Surface Go - Linux).

Shotcut version is 26.9.27

If I drop a clip directly into the timeline it displays fine can be cut, adjusted etc.

If I take the same clip and set in/out in the source window first, it drops into the timeline as black with no audio.

I've tried various combinations of ticking / unticking hardware acceleration (h264_vaapi on my intel iGPU) but nothing helps.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

From 2.4 can I not login with Bambu anymore?

Possible stupid question:

TLDR; how do I add my A1 to Orca 2.4 without upsetting the bambu logins I use elsewhere?

I run Bambu slicer on one PC, and the Bambu integration on Home Assistant (to automate lighting, printer shutdown etc)

I also run Orca 2.?3? on another PC for slicing miniatures with the DnD2.0 profile.

To try to consolidate my slicing I've just setup Orcaslicer 2.4 on a proxmox LXC for remote slicing.

I went to add my A1 to Orca 2.4 and I can only login via Orca Cloud.

How do I connect my A1 to Orca 2.4 without logging out of everything else?

no space left (docker LXC error)

I'm trying to stand up linuxcontainer.io's Orcaslicer docker instance. Docker is installed via the script for a docker lxc.

When I run the basic docker run for the orcaslicer container command I get an error:

docker: failed to extract layer (application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip \[...\] to overlayfs as "extract ...":   
  
mount callback failed on /var/lib/containerd/tmpmounts/containerd \[...\]   
  
no space left on device  

I'm guessing this is a proxmox, not docker, issue so I'm asking here first.

Looking at my PVE instance:

  1. There is tons of space on all my PVE storage;
  2. Docker itself has some 3GB free on its (stock) 4GB allocation.

Anyone know what's going on here?

Trouble getting SGO1 to boot from USB

Edit: Solved by using Ventoy

I'd like to get my SGO 1 to boot from USB so I can use clonezilla and gparted to do some (linux) partition resizing.

- Safe boot is off (red line present and correct)

- USB set as top in boot order (though the 'vol down on boot' trick doesn't work

I choose UEFI USB in the recovery reboot menu, but it boots straight back into Windows

Am I missing something simple?

Mounting OMV SMB shares (proxmox LXC)

I installed Jellyfin via the helper script which creates an Ubuntu 24.04 LXC in proxmox.

I'm trying to mount my video folder (an OMV share on the same network) onto the Jellyfin LXC, but I get mount errors (see below).

On my Ubuntu 24.04 PC the mount works fine, and my /etc/fstab says:

>//MY.OMV.IP/video /mnt/video cifs guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,_netdev 0 0

If I put this in /etc/fstab on my Jellyfin LXC I get mount error(1): Operation not permitted

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

gptel-agent users: how are you using the web search tool?

I've been using gptel-agent, specifically because I want local LLM instances to be able to query the web (without additional setup).

I'd love to hear how you are achieving this. My results are not promising:

Likely to be a problem-in-chair but so far I've tried 3 models:

  1. Deepseekr1 runs out of tokens (400 error token limit) when run from gptel-agent;

  2. Gemma4:e2b cannot use websearch and just prompts repeatedly for a query (this seems to be a gemma issue)

  3. tomng/nanbeige4.1:3b can use the web search, but treats the response as a new chat. E.g. it thinks it is at the beginning of a process, and has forgotten the initial question.

I'd love to see how you guys are working this.

Gemini can't connect to google apps (WearOS)

I think this is my third "suggested" cross post

I have a 44mm galaxy watch 4. I use gemini as my assistant

Gemini can't access my g-suite (calendar etc). If I try to ask Gemini to do so, I get a prompt to enable things on my phone,

I do the enabling - but the watch still can't integrate with the google suite, giving me the same "change things on your phone" thing again

Is this a GW4 or WearOS thing, or a more general issue?

Why does my A1 always try to change filament?

I don't have an AMS, so why does the A1 try to change filament at the start of every print?

Underextrusion with Bambu and ObscuraNox settings

I've moved from my old Wanhao Duplicator (printing Elgoo PLA+ slicing on Cura), to a Bambu A1 printing Bambu Basic PLA, and slicing on Bambu slicer.

My Wanhao was pretty well dialled in for minis (I had it for over a decade). Quality was good and support removal effortless.

I'm printing some space bugs on the A1 and working my way through the various A1 profiles. I am struggling a bit with quality and support removal.

The HoHansen profile is good, but print times are longer than I need right now (I'm printing multiple big-ish models)

Looks like I'm getting underextrusion see bottom of scales) for the Bambu and ObscuraNox 2.0 profiles.

Similarly, the support is a pig to remove with those profiles, but not HoHansens (I guess I could just port over the support settings)

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I wasn't expecting worse performance out of my fancy new printer

How do I detect this in HA so I can reboot my camera? It's not camera fps

Sometimes my camera goes down and needs a reboot (see picture)

How can I tell (in HA) that this has happened?

I thought it would be "camera fps" from diagnostics, but that's seemingly always ticking along nicely at 5fps.

I'm running HAOS on proxmox.

I'm exporting this amended coffee machine part for 3d printing, but it's coming out so low-poly it stops it from fitting.

I've tried fine and custom settings (found online as a "fix" for this issue) for export, but the result is always the same.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
