Might turn into a Streetlamp Le Moose situation.

I bought one of those passively cooled router boxes from AliExpress and have been running opnsense for over a year on it now. It’s way overkill for router + ad blocking, but it’s been working great.

What’s the thermostat controlling? How is it wired up? I replaced mine with ram esphome with a temp sensor and a relay that bridges the pins when it wants to turn on. Mine is connected to home assistant but i think you can use esphome devices stand alone.

I did this for a while, but decided to just run opnsense on bare metal, I didn’t want my whole network going down if I had to restart Proxmox or something. It’s way overkill but it’s running opnsense, adguard and will soon be running ngnix hopefully.

You can change the support top layer settings and mess with if there is top layers and how many there are, then adjust the gap between support top layer and the first layer of the print on top of it until it’s supported correctly and comes away easily.

The only reason I want it on the router is if either my vm or my server go down for whatever reason I have no access. My router is way overkill hardware wise (it’s running opnsense and Adblocking and I’ve never seen above 2%) cpu usage.

My zfs cache for 6x 4tb drives in raidz2 is about 10gb of ram.
