I think the one I use the most is printables for mechanic parts and cults 3d for minis. I used to use mainly myminifactory, but they added a managing fee and that’s made me avoid the platform since you pay a bit extra than the published price.

I’ve been trying to avoid makerworld, and creativity cloud since they seem to go in the direction to make it slowly more closed.

Thingiverse was fine, although it seemed a bit abandoned, but if you were looking for older models sometimes it’s the only place.

I think it will be fine for a year or so, but they will push some kind of subscription or premium features.

The community on thingiverse used to be more about sharing and open source, and that seems to have moved mainly to printables. At least we have that option (for now).

Sadly most manufacturers still don’t care about linux support. If you are lucky sometimes there’s a community alternative. But even then some of the advanced features may not work.

What you can do is check on their website which drivers they have available, and avoid buying stuff that doesn’t have Linux support when possible.

With more adoption I hope that it becomes increasingly available, although in practice I’ve seen several products drop their Linux support due to low users. 😢

I dont see why it need blockchain unless it’s needed to keep a registry. Which for day to day communication I think it’s excessive

Charging for themes and tech support seems fine to me. As long as it’s possible to do it yourself.

They need to make money, to continue the development and that seems a good compromise

Don’t give them more ideas

I justo use that for sharing memes with whoever sees it.

Yep, I went to check it as soon as it got announced thinking it would be a couple bucks for a monthly mystery album. but it’s the same price as a regular one. Maybe if could be worth it later when it gets more clubs since you could find one that fits an specific niche. Rightnow the four ones feel a bit generic

You can use windows freely without activating, or at least you could last time I needed it.

Put any person who has zero computer experience in front of a windows computer or Linux computer and I doubt they would say the windows computer just works and the Linux one doesn’t.

In my experience, usually with Linux they have less problems and it’s easier to use. Until they need an application that only works on Windows.

Nothing. What’s up with you?

No, but I remember updog.

I use orca, ideamaker (for the cr30)

And for resin printing i use chitubox

I think all of them I downloaded the appimage from the repo or their main site.

It’s for a custom part for his bike. I don’t know more details but he promised to send a picture once it’s done

Silly, you just posted a picture of your key now everyone can access your passwords

and hoping it doesn’t rain

Some papers resist water and are not crazy expensive. If its a notebooksl you are going to carry everywhere I guess it could be a good buy.

Down anyone know of it works with belt printers? I had it, but it kept restarting some prints that were fine and never detected a failure :(

I read it as “sandpaper i made in a blender” and thought that its somehow recycled sandpaper

What are you looking to convert?

Usually what i do is look for any converter and look for open source alternatives to it on alternativeto.net and hopefully one of the top 3 alternatives fits your use case

At the beginning I had several issues. If I remember correctly first I has to level the front part, then mark the distance with a wedge and have that same distance on the back.

For this it is important that when you’re adjusting the Y0 check on both edges and in the middle. It should be the same height overall

Once it’s leveled you need to adjust the Y offset until it sticks, for this you can print a zigzag pattern and it should stick equally well everywhere.

I remember I had saved some videos that explain that let me find them. Also the discord community is helpful for this particular printer

Yes, it looks better than I expected. I will seal it later to prevent bacterial growth as someone suggested here
