Also, fedora didnt want to power off for some reason, now i have artix(base install) with gnome, but gnome doesnt allow me to login for some reason

Doing some distro hopping on my laptop while at my parents, and so I installed fedora but I dont think i like it, so i wanted to try pop os, but after burning the iso using dd multiple times, and downloading twoce the img, i gave up and swotched to artix again, but it seems to also be broken, so i guess dd on fedora is just broken

@ar
It looks really good, sadly im not hone so i cant check the cad files, but how did you embed the magnets(I wanna say leave a hole and tell the printer to stop for a "color change" at the right height)?

@murks
If you are tryong to de-google your life i would suggest just insralling /e/os(or alternative degoogled roms) directly

@codingquark
I would suggest going to the ender3 subreddit(it has a really good getting started, tho i just built my printer straight away) and there are useful resources there, and also maker's muse youtube channel, as he got some interesting vids(tho you might need to dig sometimes)

Louise was lying on her back in their box, and omg im so happy my phone was within reach

@chemelia
What kind of encouragement?

@codingquark
I had some experience before(both autodesk inventor from school and learning blender for gamedev), so not at all, but you can always use thingiverse models until you get comfy with modeling yourself

@codingquark
I have got the ender 3 v2, which after roughly 2 month a not a lot of use, i need to replace the fans(bearing do bad sound), tho they dont cost much.

In terms of plastic cost, it is probably way cheaper to print yourself(obv it matters how much the outsource costs and how much you pay for your filament)

Another point to consider is the different materials, usually printers will work woth abs/pla out of the box(pla is easy to work with as well) and you can always upgrade to an all metal extruder to be able to print at higher temps(for more resilient materials and such)

@codingquark
As someone who wanted to get into 3d printing(also due to arduino stuff) and got one, i would absolutely say yes(but only if you are willing to give the time and effort for caring the 3d printer, as entry level ones will usually require more maintenance)

@lig
To make COVID less dangerous, i know someone who couldn't get vaccinated, and she had a really horrible covid experience, as compared to friends and family who barely felt it(and were just a bit tired)..

Been working on a level editor in #rust using #bevy and #egui (the editor will be a general editor tho)

Already got:
- Shapes creation(for collision mostly)
- Importing images(although they cannot be moved currently)
- Snapping grid

while it doesn't seem like much my focus was mostly on the shapes part of it

I know its ugly but it mostly works(woth the barely test i did for it), it should be a push lock mechanism and hopefully it will properly work out in the end

Was trying to print something that had a lot of small parts in it, causing a lot of retractions in a short span of time, and it caused the extruder to EAT INTO the filament..
The worst part, ot only happened 3 hours into the print...

@rastinza
It seems to hold well for now, guess i'll update whe/if it breaks.
I guess it also depends on how far you push it, and how much toothpaste you are tryong to squeeze out of the end.
@trinsec

Keeping on posting stuff I #3dprint , yesterday i printed a toothpaste squasher(?), to extract all tge toothpaste from the tube, I also printed a bigger handle "addon" because the original handle was too small(and reprinting the entire handle takes time, compared to the 30 minutes for the addon).

Additionally, it seems that switching from the "stock" pla that came with the #ender3v2 to the better ones i bought with the #3dprinter fixed the only printing issue i had(which was under extrusion sometimes, leaving holes in the print)
I think the stock pla was just slipping or something(and prob wasnt pure)

#3dprint -ed a caliper(because why not), and it is surprisingly somewhat accurate, also ran out of the bit of white filament i had mid print so i had to pause and switch, i have another roll of white but i want to use black for the other stuff and i think it looks better(although weird that it changes colours mid print.

It also took 7 bloody hours(which i was not prepared for mentally)
