How did you do that?
Did you had the hose ready, or you had to dig and get into the house under the foundations?
Looks like a great install, judging by the hose diameter (3/4) if i'm guessing correctly, you can even use more cables if you will need in the future.

I ran rigid conduit from my basement and then converted to the liquid tite conduit.

Ok, my question is, how did you get ethernet cable to the front door camera? I have a similar situation where I need to get ethernet cable to, but I can't see how to get cable there. There is a simple doorbell switch there. You can see where the cam is currently, but it does a wonderful job of getting the top of their hear

I have an unfinished utility area in the basement right at the front door, so I just came up through the bottom plate and wall.

What happens if you remove that soffit? Could you drill a hole in the stucco above the doorbell area to get down into the wall?

That's a good question. I have to remove the soffit to see if I can access the inside of the wall. The small roof over the front door is about a foot higher than the walls. So there may be an issue with a wall extension to deal with

If I can get CAT 6 there, I have to figure out what the camera will be there. Ideally, a doorbell camera, but I have to do some research
 
I’ve been playing with ASA and it’s tricky. I’m far from an expert.
Overhangs need cooling but no fans for anything else. 25% max on part cooling fan.

I have overture brand ASA. Overture made a profile for the P1S which you can download. It runs fairly well, I’ve done 50* overhangs with no support that came out clean.

Also get your heat bed up to 100* for about 20 to 30 minutes before you send to printer. Chamber has to be warm.

Use brim or manual tabs to help with bed adhesion and try and keep the prints as short as possible. 1 item per plate. Warping while cooling is a real issue. Also I find 3 or 4 walls is better than 6 walls. Less material to warp. When finished try and slow cooling, either leave it in the printer or wrap your warm print in a towel to slow the cooling/warping.
 
Yep, did all of that. Even with a wide brim it curled. I may give it another go at some point. I was using Bambu ASA.
