Personally I love openSCAD, but it is probably really unintuitive to someone without programming experience and even then has it’s own limitations.

FreeCAD is in a weird position ATM, it is actually really good! …just not in the stable release… The Dev version is significantly more palatable, and they even went on a feature freeze to really push through with their major 1.0 release.

For now though Onsdel (Sort of a fork of FreeCAD packaged with Dev release and UI improvements) has worked really well for me thus far!

Yeah that honestly makes much more sense lol

This is a shit take

This sounds awesome! But is there anything similar that is Open Source by any chance?

Holy cow, thanks for the link! I will definitely try it out once I am finished with my next couple of projects.

I already don’t use the display because OctoPI though the OctoApp is way more convenient, so no loss there lol

I didn’t realize klilper was that powerful. That is actually crazy

That is quick! The SE only advertises a max of 250 mm/s with 4,000 mm/s^2 accel, so that is pretty crazy.

I have most definitely heard of it.

Do I know what it is, how it works, what it does? No.

I know you can run it through a raspberry pi, which is useful because I am already using one for octoprint. If it isn’t crazy difficult to setup than I would definitely be willing to try it out!

I am not a techy person, not a programmer, nada, and linux (particularly fedora) has always worked with little to no issue for me.

The hardest thing I really ever have to do is enable the rpm fusion repos on a fresh install, and the only problem I consistently encounter is discord trying to take control of, and subsequently destroy, my audio when using bluetooth headphones.

I just use it because it is an easier, privacy & user respecting system.

For some reason, to me at least, there is a good amount of irony in this. Almost like because the technology and techniques to replicate a convincing moon landing weren’t around they just went there instead lol
