Im presently doing all my printing via craftcloud. It seems too expensive and fiddly to do it myself. But I’ve got this room where, if I get a printer, I’ll put it.
So if I do it like a humidor. Controlled environment and ventilation. Is this the normal thing to do?
Openscad has a slew of 2d. Polygons and such. Just plug in your xy data.
I don’t think it has the boolean constructive stuff for that tho.
Check out this little overview cheatsheet. It pretty much shows you what it can do.
Same here. Never found a 3d tool that went right. But openscad is straightforward. Zero to printable thing in an hour.
Code is a little weird but I’m getting a feel for it. That would be an interesting project, to make a better openscad code.
Linux is dirt easy. Same desktop interface as Windows except easier and way way less bullshit.
A proper mindset would be a desire for a free, easy operating system.
So you grab a cheap old computer. Download the latest version of Debian. Install it (selecting the “Mate” desktop option, it’s my personal fave). And that’s it. Google any further questions.
