That’s clever. I’ve wantef an excuse to do gridfinity stuff for a whil. Should have thought of the scanner thing lol.

I am gonna check if there are existing modules already like another commenter suggested, but otherwise will use that paper truck

I didn’t even think about the fact that there are probably some for gridfinity already. Will look into that

Obviously people are thinking a lot harder than you. Why do you think you are the first person to realize that the democratic left is actually the rest of the world’s far right? Everyone figured that out when they were fucking twelve, so stop believing you are some enlightened philosophical or some shit.

While we here, everyone else has also already realized that third party votes accomplish nothing in the current state of politics. Throw your vote wherever you want, but no party besides rep and dem is getting an electoral so thanks for wasting it. Unless we are all willing to get up, and force the hand of change, that is the reality we all have to live in. Well maybe if you caught up with everyone else you would know that.

Yeah it was pretty silly, I for some reason blanked on the fact that boot is an important flag. Thankfully booting the live media worked

Oh yeah, didn’t think about trying with a live media. Will do that

Those who do best in office positions are the ones that are particularly skilled at making it seem like they are busy and productive. Ie staying late, or getting in early

This has severance vibes

Oh wow, this is so cool!

I will take a look at this later and see if I can take inspiration from the project as a whole

Normally I would just go out and grab one as I have done it a bit before, and I know how useful they are, I am just a bit strapped for cash at the moment. (College student who didn’t manage to grab a job for summer :/)

Maybe I will make a temp solution and then make something more proper later on.

I am not certain, I have used FreeCAD tutorials for Onsdel to great success.

I think what I do is just listen to the tool name they reference, and then just look where I assume it would be to find it, rather than trying to find tools in the same places as them

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
