I wanted to verify if the windows build works now, but it seems that the mxe-base image does not provide the neccessary tools for building openscad
<pca006132>
btw, just remembered that the mxe build in manifold CI is not actually a MXE build... forgot to setup the MXE stuff
<pca006132>
oh the mxe stuff is still running in the CI pipeline, nvm

is there no keyboard shortcut for 'New Window'?
<buZz>
shift+ctrl+n would be nice, it was the first i tried before looking it up ;)
<J23k20>
ctrl+n is new file .. new window is starting a new process afaik there is no shortcut
<buZz>
there ought to be imho :D

you don't like tabs or why that workflow?
<buZz>
sometimes i like working on two next to each other
<buZz>
multimonitor and all
<J23k20>
ah ok i use undocked menus - that gets confusing
<J23k20>
maybe undocking tabs would be a nice feature
drfff has joined #openscad
<buZz>
hmhm, something like that i guess
<buZz>
its fine, i'll just spawn a new openscad myself

hello
<Guest7>
anyone can help me adding fonts to openscad ?

<InPhase>
dudeeee: It's 6:51am where JordanBrown_ lives, so give him a bit. :)
<InPhase>
I can clarify it's not a matter of adding them to OpenSCAD, but just using the right syntax to grab what the system already has.
<InPhase>
I just don't recall what that method is.
<J23k20>
dudeeee just pull the font you want to use inside the editor .. should result in a use<font.ttf>; so you can access it via text (font="font"); if it is not already in your system registered
<J23k20>
hm sorry the drag in works only for imports .. my bad
<teepee>
it's a very dark blue, almost black with tiny blueish glitter mostly invisible unless you put a light on it
<J23k20>
chalk blue is that
<teepee>
neat, both the model and the filament
<J23k20>
i was impressed that i got 0.007 tolerance filament (as each spool got the final margin printed on)
<teepee>
that is indeed quite impressive
<teepee>
I still have some of those ancient GRRF spools form almost 10 years which are massively bad
<pca006132>
wow, did you actually measure that?
<teepee>
one I finally tossed as it did even jam the prusa mk1 direct extruder as it was just a bit over 3mm
<teepee>
I guess most people have to just believe that tolerance, I would not have any means to even safely measure 10 times that :)
<pca006132>
true, precision = $$$
<J23k20>
pca006132 i measured a spot with a micrometer - that was spot on
<teepee>
and it's flexible material, so I would assume that's some sort of laser measurement or so
<J23k20>
but you can scan the code and get the laser log for your whole spool
<pca006132>
I buy filaments from aliexpress (taobao in HK), they are really cheap ($5 for 1kg) but some brands have bad tolerances and once jammed my extruder
<pca006132>
fancy :)
<J23k20>
what is GRRF ?
<teepee>
german reprap foundation, not sure they still exist, at some point they moved to huge industial priced printers
<J23k20>
pca006132 there was just a thread about CHINA greenhous wire that is PET ~ 1.75 and under $2 per kg
<teepee>
ah, "The German RepRap GmbH located in Feldkirchen near Munich, was originally established as German RepRap Foundation (GRRF) in 2010."
<J23k20>
not sure if they even check for consistency .. maybe just a hole it fits through
<teepee>
yeah, depends on the use case
<teepee>
the first 3mm filament was basically just re-used from totally different applications where they did not even need to bother about 0.2mm differences
<teepee>
which was very annoing with the first Ultimaker that has bowden, once it jammed it so hard into the bowden, I had to drill out a bit to get the filament back out
<teepee>
ok, found the reason for the 3mf issue
<teepee>
accidentally that commit ended up in the boost-1.71 branch instead of lib3mf so it got dropped as we don't need the boost stuff anymore
<teepee>
so hopefully an easy fix, just takes a while to compile
<teepee>
for the curious, progress is also reported in #openscad-ci :)
<pca006132>
I think the shipping cost is more expensive than the filament itself
<pca006132>
iirc the shipping cost from mainland china to hk is around $1/kg
<J23k20>
teepee yeah it was from fuseing floor coating together (but then it couldn't be PLA)
<J23k20>
but with .2 nozzle you need some more controlled diameter
<pca006132>
teepee how many cores do you have in the ci? I think maybe we can start looking into downloading some scad code and check against CGAL and manifold backend, for #4825
<J23k20>
i guess that PET wire is fine if you print with a 1.5 nozzle - for making a chair
<teepee>
I think that means 10? CPU: QEMU Virtual version 2.5+ (10) @ 1.996GHz
<pca006132>
my main concern is that the CGAL backend may be too slow that running a check will take a few days...
<teepee>
yep, 10 cpus, I'm trying to not fully load the server as kintel is also using it for remote dev
<teepee>
one of the reason for getting that server is so we are able to run long tests
<teepee>
I just would not want to run at 100% load
<pca006132>
sure
<pca006132>
to limit the number of cores for manifold backend, you can just use taskset
<teepee>
so one of the pending tasks is to have a full "ctest -C all" run which includes the slow tests that are usually disabled
<teepee>
yeah, like running those tests on 2 CPUs will take much longer, but it would not impact other stuff much (maybe also limiting memory a bit)

guso78 Just before printing that error it should print "GLEW Error: <error message>". Is it not doing that?
<teepee>
guso78k11: fedora should also have a dev package, if you install that it will not try to download and rebuild tbb everytime you clean the build folder
