A little eccentric but also kinda cool. Thx for the explanation, I didn’t even notice.

Clever

Why the downvotes? I had the same question. It’s hard to keep track.

I personally use FreeCad it works most of the time but can be a real pain, even with proper parametric cad experience. Still it is the only real open-source parametric solid modeler. All the common ones have been mentioned but for a very small basic modeler I’d like to add https://solvespace.com/

I may or may not know multiple developers that create new issues while avoiding fixing old ones.

Support in Klipper sounds amazing. There could be open repositories of printing parameters. Not 100% sure how Klipper would pass the info to the slicer but that seems solvable.

Hmm, seems like a decent idea. Definitely better than closed tag systems.

I had similar requirements, and I was choosing between Prusa and Bambu Lab. In the end I chose a Prusa Core One. Here are my subjective reasons for choosing Prusa:

• It’s open (mostly) and hackable
• It’s proven and reliable, they use their own printers for production
• they make the slicer which bambu studio and others are based on
• it’s European
• Great support
• Upgrade kits for printers

A few cons of Prusa printers I’m aware of:

• expensive
• slower to innovate
• upgrade kit may cost close to the price of a new printer

Prusa is probably not the best value but as far as I know it is the only really open choice for a high quality printer. Feel free to correct me.

Personally if I find someone very unagreeable I will check their account to see if this is their whole online personality or just one or two posts, everyone has bad days. If it seems like a a person I would rather avoid altogether I will block.

Oh that’s really cool, I’ve always disliked on-screen keyboards. Is there a repo/article/build guide about this keyboard?

Haha, well I guess I over-thought a little 😅

I’m not sure I understand the question but I will try to answer. I did not mean to question you skill in particular, I know nothing about you.

I agree that programming requires repetition e.g. more programming, that’s why I said “This”.

What followed was a generic advice that helped me personally to improve a lot as a developer. I got the chance to work side by side with developers experienced in different types of projects, developers I consider more skilled than me in different ways. I consider this avaluabe experience.

Hope that clears it up a little, nothing to do with you’re skill in particular. English is not my first language so maybe my phrasing is a little weird.

This. For me personally It helps to think of programming as as craft. It also helps a lot if you have someone more skilled than you available to discuss.

It’s okay even fun at first, but eats your soul slowly over the years. Edit: that ofcourse depends on perspective e.g. what you are doing at the moment. I myself moved from an abusive job to a cozy corporate one, it seemed like heaven at first.

Fair enough. Same for me personally, but I think it’s just cool if it works natively.

Looking at related github issues it may have been fixed, if I understood correctly. GitHub link was added to the article. I would check on my own machine but it’s 4 AM and I just finished hyperfocus fuled coding session, gnight. Hope this works on desktops fingers crossed.

+1 for using native ui

Feels like Spotify

I put my mom on Linux Mint Cinnamon (Ubuntu based) looks a lot like windows with minimal bells and whistles. Mostly just works unless you have bleeding edge hardware. Most Ubuntu flavours should also work. I’m suggesting Ubuntu based distros due to the fact that most media codecs, fonts and drivers are installed or easy to install.
