Compiling programs always feels like you’re baking a cake, you look for it, check the dependancies and then run the slackbuild, leave your computer to go grab a drink and when you come back you see an error, checking for it you notice you’ve forgotten a dependency, it’s like you put your cake in the oven, starts cooking and after a while you go “_oh shit, I forgot to add sugar to the dough_“.
-I’ve been compiling a couple programs in the past few days and I’ve ended up patching them a lot, to compile audacity I had to go around and add 6 patches before the script managed to compile correctly, and today with qpdfview it was the same, still dependancy errors but in the end I made it work and let me tell you, when you come back to your PC and the script has ended and it says the program is installed it’s almost like you could smell it, your freshly baked cake waiting for you to enjoy it…

I've picked up the hobby of 3D printing, and this time I'll show you what software options you have on GNU/Linux if you want to design and prepare your "things" to be printed on a 3D printer

So, I’m back at writing on this blog, it’s been a long time, I’ve been through quite some shitty times and a lot happened on a personal level that kept my attention away from blogging.
-One of the things that I’ve introduced in my life is a 3D printer, I’m the proud owner of an Ender3 Pro by creality.
+One of the things that I’ve introduced in my life is a 3D printer, I’m the proud owner of an Ender3 Pro by creality.

I’ve had it for a few months now and I’m pretty happy I purchased it, as it’s been a very helpful hobby, and even though I started this hobby using tools available for windows, I’m slowly moving back to GNU/Linux.

## Slicing
-The software you mainly use with a 3D printer is a slicer, which is a piece of software that takes a 3D rendering of the item you want to print and slice it into many layers, stacked one on top of the other, you can manipulate the layers in various ways in order to alter the properties of the final printed item.<figure class="wp-block-image size-large">

I’ve chosen <a href="https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ultimaker Cura</a> as my main slicer, I started with it and I found it’s easy enough for a noob like me, but manages to give the user a lot of room for customization when you start understanding how it works.
Another good reason for choosing Fusion360 is the huge amount of tutorials you can find on the web on how to approach cad design with it, it’s really great for beginners as it gives you an even easier learning curve.
-Sadly Fusion360 is not available on GNU/Linux, and that’s the main reason I’ve decided to look for a valid alternative, another very good reason for not using Fusion, is the fact that all of your files are uploaded to the cloud, and you are limited (in the free tier) to a maximum of 10 editable files at a time, which might seem a lot, but may easily become way too few depending on what are you working on. Anyway, after some searching, I’ve found a solution!!

I’ve watched this introductory video and was able to pick it up and start designing in a matter of minutes, it’s very straightforward and even if it does things a bit differently than Fusion, it’s still very comfortable to use.
Thanks for passing by, and I’ll see you on the next one ;)
