Welcome to my Lab

As I document my Homelab and its uses, I will expand documentation here!

HomeLab

I can't emphasize enough how much I love my homelab.  Hobby and work training combined, Enterprise-grade hardware provides a great platform for learning, testing, and teaching!


Take a look below for more detailed specs and current use cases for my infrastructure.

3D Printing

3D Printing is another hobby that lives right next to the rack. I started with a stock Ender 3 V2, and have added the following upgrades:

  • OctoPrint (Raspberry Pi Remote Control / Camera)
  • LED Strip Lighting
  • Adjustable Locking Leveling Gears
  • Side-mounted Filament Holder
  • Metal Feeder Assembly
  • Glass Print Bed
