  I tried both the flatpack and app image options for running Orca, but neither worked for me under Kubuntu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slicer software for a Linux system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s one I haven’t heard of. I’ll have to check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slicer software for a Linux system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like another possible option. I did see there was an Orca package for Arch; I would like to keep running Orca since I’m used to it, so going with an Arch distro might be the way to go.

  My printer is a Ender 3 S1 Pro, running Klipper/Mainsail on a raspberry pi SBC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slicer software for a Linux system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to know Mint might be an option. I’ve used it before, could check it out again. I ran it on a Frankenstein’s monster of really old computer parts I cobbled together as a PC for my work room. Mainly just to stream music and reference videos online while doing projects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slicer software for a Linux system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, downloaded the flatpack from Ubuntu repository. Sounds like folks are having similar issues with Orca, Cura, possibly Prusa if I remember what I read correctly. Since AnyCubic is a fork from Orca, not surprised it’s plagued with the same problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slicer software for a Linux system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the link. If Orca will run fine under Ubuntu, I may just switch over to that instead. I’m not hugely invested in Kubuntu yet, so it won’t be painful to do. Installing Ubuntu inside a Docker container inside of Kubuntu, just to run Orca, seems too matryoshka-ish for me.

  I have no idea what coffee shop it was, just some random place my wife and I stopped at while traveling. But yeah, the mocha with cinnamon and cayenne is great, especially on cool and rainy days. The heat from the spice adds to the warmth of the drink.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll occasionally make up coffee in the morning with chocolate, cinnamon, and a few shakes of cayenne pepper. Coffee shop I went to once did the same thing, called it an Aztec Mocha. Very good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Abiotic Factor review - Abiotic Factor is an instant survival classic, and one of the best games I've played in years.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed playing this after it launched, great game with potential. My only complaint was the Ground Hog Day effect with monster spawns. You’d run into the same critters, in the same locations, over and over again. I figured the game was pretty new at the time, and hoped the devs would eventually randomize spawns to make it less monotonous. If they have, may need to start up a new game.

  Put in for a replacement power pack on Friday. Just had to enter the order number from Amazon, and upload two pictures of the power pack including the model and serial number. Bought the recalled one in 2018, and it was still working fine when I charged and used it last month. Oh well, I’ll drop it off for recycle next trip to the county waste facility.

  I usually use epoxy or 3M double sided adhesive tabs. This time the holes in the model I downloaded ended up being undersized, so heat setting seemed like a good plan. Guess not.

  Estwing 22oz smooth faced ripping/framing hammer. Bought one about 30 years ago when I was doing roofing and framing work. Still use it all the time. Comfortable and durable, great for construction and demolition work. Does a nice job digging out stubborn nails. If I could only have one hammer in my tool bag, that’s what it would be.

  Don’t fret about it, things happen. You run a great service for us. A job and a new family already add up to being more than two full-time obligations. Managing Zip along with all that is a lot. Thanks for doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have an enclosure, I would say try out ASA. Similar to ABS, I’ve found it makes some really nice parts that are tough and UV resistant. Great for things you want to leave outdoors. Otherwise TPU is useful stuff too, and no heated chamber required. I was using it this weekend to print up seals and grommets for a trailer I’m rewiring. It’s nice being able to print up some parts I need rather than making a drive to the hardware store and hoping they’ll have something I can use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Troubleshooting) Advice for improvement⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that it’s probably a speed issue. When I first started printing, I was seeing just how fast I could go with PLA and tuning for that. Decided to try out PETG a few months later, and it was a disaster. Layers weren’t bonding properly, and the filament would bridge across points on the print. Once I backed print speed down to 50, I started to get much better results.

  For the hell these executives put sick people through so they can make a buck, I’m surprised it hasn’t been happening on a regular basis. I understand gunning down CEOs in the street isn’t fine, but part of me finds it hard to feel it wasn’t deserved.
