As a loooooong time lurker here, and a Linux only house, full of cnc 
machinery, there are not enough ups's here to cover everything, but 
there are currently 6 here as I recently added 3 more 900wa units to my 
3d printer farm. They don't have to hold up very long as there is also a 
20kw nat gas fired standby with about a 5 second start delay on a pad 
behind that garage full of cnc machinery. The  900's aren't big enough 
for the printers to heat the bed AND the nozzle at the same time, so I 
had to edit  the startup code cura uses to sequence bed first. Am I that 
unusual? Or just a cantankerous old coot?
