The name plate was designed in #FreeCAD¹, sliced in #PrusaSlicer¹, and printed on my custom-built 3D printer. Its parts were designed and shared by @bear_lab and runs on #MarlinFW.

The leatherette was designed in #Inkscape, the G-code generated with #KiriMoto, and cut with a custom little #vinylCutter attachment for the 3D printer².

I've not been in the 3-D printing space in a while, but I think this is worth sharing for anyone that is: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/bambu-lab-abusing-open-source-social-contract/

Please boost for reach.

Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract

Last year I said I'd probably never recommend another Bambu Lab printer again. I still use my P1S, but after Bambu Lab started pushing their always-connected cloud solution as the new default: I blocked the printer from the Internet via my OPNsense Firewall I stopped updating the firmware I locked the printer into Developer mode I deleted Bambu Studio and started using OrcaSlicer I had to do that to keep it under my control, instead of Bambu's.

@beeb @elduvelle #PrusaSlicer works fine on Linux.

Today I decided I'd see if I can use #PrusaSlicer on my ancient #FlashForge Creator Pro. Got the hacks installed so it can spit out .x3g. Did a simple print of some action figure and it worked (but can't get supports off). Decide to try real model. Need to orient part face down. But it rotates all wonky. And rotation fields are all zero! Enter new rotation and it moves then zeros out the fields! #3DPrinting

@brett I use SpaceMouse Wireless and it is great for both 2D and 3D navigation in #Fusion360, #SolidEdge, #OnShape, #PrusaSlicer, etc. It took me a couple of days to get used to it, of course. I like rotating the model and looking at it from all sides and angles, zooming in and out to check some corners, filets, etc.

Can you go without one? Yes, but it makes using these tools flawless and easier vs. with regular mouse. It works in many other apps, too, but its main strength is 3D navigation.

After my move from macos to #linux I was stuck in #prusaslicer. Was not able to find out how to pan the view with a touchpad.

I wonder how other people handle this, cannot imagine that all linux users always have a mouse with them. 😳

Endlich mal wieder ein größeres #Projekt abgeschlossen. Aus über 30 Einzelteile ist dieser X-Wing aus #StarWars zusammengesetzt. Gut 40 cm lang und 30 cm breit. Die Flügel lassen sich aufklappen.
Der Druck der Teile hat die letzten 3 Wochen über mehrere Tage gedauert.

Nächstes Projekt: der Tie-Fighter 😉

What's up with #PrusaSlicer's algorithm seeing this very long, thin object and thinking "yeah… let's make those bridges as long as possible"? This makes absolutely no sense.

Hilbert Curve surface finish with a round of ironing afterwards makes for a quite good surface finish even with just 0.3mm and 15% infill.

Sometimes you've just to try things. Like I wanted to know what the "ironing" setting in #PrusaSlicer does. So I just tried it. And well I'm glad I only read the documentation AFTER I sent it to the printer, as otherwise I probably wouldn't even have tried to use it together with just 30% infill as the documentation says it is for 100%.

However it appears to turn out surprisingly well so far. So lets keep it running and check again.
