# Notes
Used for applications that need to store a lot of data, but not over the NFS connection. Examples include metrics and logging storage.
# Issues
## Resizing the Prometheus disk
There is an issue resizing iSCSI disks. The following Github issue has instructions on how to manually resize if a permissions error is thrown.
https://github.com/democratic-csi/democratic-csi/issues/491#issuecomment-3778463893
- Exec into the iSCSI node pod for the node where the volume is being attached.
- Find the path where the volume is mounted, this should be in the error, and the disk name
- umount \<path>
- resize2fs /dev/\<disk name>
- Receive the error that the filesystem isn't clean, press y to optimize
- fsck -f /dev/\<disk name>
- Ensure the above comes back clean
- resize2fs /dev/sdb
- Restart pod that is mounting the disk

# Download and Install OrcaSlicer
<Steps>
1. Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/releases) and find the 'Latest' Official Release. Some are tagged as 'Pre-release' such as nightlys or release candidates, ignore those.
2. At the bottom of a Release is the Assets section. Download the package for your OS such as the exe for Windows or the dmg for Mac.
4. Install the package.
</Steps>
## Build Plates
These will give you a model of the build plates the 3D printer will print upon for accurate sizing and representation.
Download them [with this link here](https://github.com/Guilouz/Creality-Helper-Script-Wiki/raw/main/downloads/OrcaSlicer/Creality_K1.zip) then extract the zip.
## Create Printer
<Steps>
1. Go to the 'Prepare' tab on the navigation menu.
2. At the left should be a menu for various options, find 'Printer' at the very top
3. Click on the drop-down and select `--Create Printer --`
- Printer Vendor is `Creality`
- Printer model is `Creality K1C`, this may be near the bottom of the list
- Nozzle diameter is `0.4 mm`
- Printable Space is `X 200 mm` and `Y 220 mm`
- Hot Bed STL should upload the build plate .stl file
- Hot Bed SVG should upload the build plate .png file
- Max Print Height is `200mm`
4. Click OK and will go to 'Import Preset'
- For 'Printer Preset' select `Creality` and `Creality K1C @ 0.4 Nozzle`
- For 'Preset' click `Create Based on Current Printer`
- Under the 'Filament Preset Template' section check boxes for filaments types being used, likely just 'PLA'
- Under the 'Process Preset Template' section check `0.20mm Standard @Creality K1C`
</Steps>
## Connect to Printer
Once the Printer has been created slightly above and to the right should be an icon that looks like a wifi icon, click this.
- Host Type is `Octo/Klipper`
- Printer Agent is `OrcaSlicer`
- Hostname is `http://printer.lebens-home.net`
To confirm the connection go to the 'Device' tab at the top navigation menu.

# Overview
The 3D printer is a [Creality K1C](https://www.creality.com/products/k1c-carbon-3d-printer) which has several features that make it somewhat more user-friendly, such as auto leveling. Notably this model does not include automatic multi filament switching that newer versions have. It does use open source software and [Mainsail](https://docs.mainsail.xyz/) is installed as its web interface.
In order to print objects you first need a model, usually a stl file, then the model needs to be 'sliced' into instructions for the printer, then print. These guides document the process for this 3D printer.
## Specifications
| Atttribute| Size|
|---|----|
| Filament Diameter | 1.75mm |
| Nozzle Diameter | 0.4mm |
| Layer Height | 0.1-0.35mm |
| Printing Accuracy | 100±0.1mm |
| Build Volume | 220\*220\*250mm |
## Supported filament types
- ABS
- PLA
- PLA-CF
- PETG
- PET
- PET-CF
- TPU
- PA
- ASA
- PC
## Slicing file formats
- STL
- OBJ
- 3MF
## Printable file formats
- G-Code

# Download a Model
There are various places to download models to print, such as [Thingverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/), [Printables](https://www.printables.com/), or [Makerworld](https://makerworld.com/en).
A default test model is [Benchy](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622).
The most common file type to use are STL, but the printer can also use OBJ or 3MF
# Load and Print Model
<Steps>
1. In OrcaSlicer go to the 'Prepare' tab on the navigation menu. The sidebar isn't needed at this point, you may collapse it with a button at its top right, or by pressing `Shift-Tab`
2. The printer view should now fill the screen. At the top, below the navigation menu is a tool menu. The farthest left icon is a cube, click this to add a model.
3. This opens a menu to select a file to upload.
4. Once the model is in the 3D view various options are available to arrange or make adjustments to.
5. Next is to convert this 3D representation into instructions for the printer, this process is called slicing. At the top right are two buttons, click 'Slice plate'. Depending on the complexity this may take time.
6. Also depending on the complexity you may need to add support or change the infill. These are options in the sidebar. After any adjustments made the model should be sliced again.
7. Once ready and the representation in the printer view matches what is desired, click print to begin the process.
