  • I got a 3d printer (bambu p1s per someone’s recommendation here) but the bambu software allows very little in the realm of adjusting a print (size for example is mostly what I can do).

    I’ve been heavily overwhelmed looking into a 3d software editing platform to adjust prints. I don’t have the capacity to learn multiple softwares, but I heard blender does pretty poorly in creating prints with hard dimensions.

    While I do like to explore the realm of figurines and characters to print, I tend to use my printer for more engineered prints, things I measure and need a replacement for, or to fill in the need of something I’m I’m constructing.

    This is where Adobe got most of the positive reviews for a 3d software that’s best of both worlds. Creative and engineered. While blender is heavily leaning towards creative.


  • Is it because Microsoft is the big dog with money and Linux is no dog because there is no company backing Linux? Windows sells solely because Windows can push the product?

    Would it be benificial (albeit this will be extremely frowned upon by this community I believe) for a Linux distro to be backed and monetized via a corporation with a legal team to help push a Linux product on the shelves? In the short run it’s a bad idea, but in the long run it’ll familiarize the public, and push software developers for compatability. The incentive being that there’s money now involved and it won’t be a project for people.

    Because right now to use Linux for the majority of user case operations you’d need at least computer science 101 to start installing a distro, partitions, manual software installation, to get running. Or am I wrong on this part?



  • So if you did open a computer shop and are selling this plethora of Linux options, doesn’t that leave you liable if there are issues with the operating system?

    If I buy a laptop and my windows is running poorly don’t I have windows support taking care of my windows problems?

    If I buy a laptop from you with mint installed and am having problems I can’t contact Linux for support, I’ll have to contact you the shop owner.

    Won’t this liability discourage shop owners from selling laptops/desktops with Linux?



  • Wow I would have went through so much trouble trying to figure out my problems before stumbling on moisture problems. Especially since I’m printing in my garage.

    Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention before I ran into many problems. I didn’t even think about how I’m going to store all my filament. I was just going to go loose on the bottom of my table in a container.

    It’s interesting that the instructions for preparing the AMS had me take out the dessicant from the 2 trays in the roller area. I was wondering what the point of these being empty was. I’ll fill that with back up with dessicant.
