I might treat myself to a new multifilament printer after the holiday, and see what I can get going.
<teepee>
I just need to get the 3mf stuff in shape
<teepee>
but it relies on the lazy union hack
<teepee>
so we need something official replacing that
<InPhase>
My 8 year old printer has done its dutiful service period. I can tune it up and keep it going probably another decade, but I think it's time to shelve it and try a fancy new one with this extra feature.
<kintel>
teepee for exporting single-color volumes as separate objects?
<teepee>
yes, prusaslicer ignores colors and materials, only uses the sparate objects (as far as I can tell from my tests so far)
<teepee>
even importing that linked one with color in the 3mf shows up single color in slicer
<teepee>
but you can select extruders for the separate objects/parts
<kintel>
Perhaps, once a popular CAD tool can export/import colors with 3MF, slicers will be motivated to follow :)
<teepee>
well, we can't support bambuslicer, so that would at least be one option
<kintel>
ochafik also has some interesting WIP for volumetric color, but that needs significant love, so -> post next release
<InPhase>
It looks like cura, what I usually use, also does multi-file for multiple color prints.
<teepee>
yes, that's the STL way, but STL also does not even have color in the file
<InPhase>
That seems to be the approach cura uses for 3mf as well.
<teepee>
at some point we may want to try talking to bambu
<teepee>
I belive their interpretation of 3MF and use for colors is not spec compliant
<InPhase>
I just need to make sure cura does this right for normal printers. :) Cura is a great program, but their documentation can't pass up a chance to explain how to use every feature on an Ultimaker printer.
<teepee>
meaning we can't read that info via lib3mf (well, at least v1, I don't know if maybe v2 has some generic support)
<teepee>
hmm, I can try with that test file from printables ^
<teepee>
assuming I'll be half awake at least tomorrow
<pca006132>
btw, are there useful tools to repair non-manifold meshes? someone in babylonjs forum is asking about this
<kintel>
pca006132 I think the trick that was used (in the slicer I cannot remember) was to create a thin veneer of the surface color, and a neutral fill color
<kintel>
pca006132 too many repair tools out there, but MeshLab is the classic Open Source one
<kintel>
There are a few proprietary ones from Autodesk and/or Microsoft, but they tends to fade in and out of support

hmm, there was another long thread but I can't find that right now
<shaina>
Yeah, in the discussion, they suggested to use "Open Anyway" which I used too
<teepee>
ok, off for a meeting at work
<shaina>
sure, thanks :)

wow the animate function is not working well anymore .. the buttons are vertical not horizontal and it starts when changing the steps even you paused it and the image dump never stops

J24k77: I think I can do 20, last tutorial - assembly stuff
<J24k77>
great i just added 21
<J24k77>
so we just need a 24 idea
<teepee>
I think InPhase had an idea, let me check the backlog
<teepee>
quote: I had a wild idea, but it might take 3 hours.
<teepee>
quote: Like total, not like I'm going to do it in 3 hours. Almost certainly not working on any such thing today.
<teepee>
so lets hear later if the idea is still open
<J24k77>

oh, btw, I found the reason for that GIF -> JPEG thing on bluesky
<teepee>
adding the GIF via image button -> makes single frame jpeg
<teepee>
adding the GIF via video button -> all good
<teepee>
technically user error, but I'd rate it at least 84.6% bug ;-)
<teepee>
also no edit button :(
<teepee>
I guess it's not too critical as long as we stay at one more post than followers :D

teepee, J24k77: My idea was to build a tree down to the needle level with a single recursive module with a single call to cylinder, with its input being a list of sizes, colors, and affine transformation matrices for where to put all the tree elements. Because doing it this way would enable adding an additional transformation to make the tree sway in the wind. :)
<InPhase>
The other way of doing it by recursive modules and geometric operations blocks that, by the fact that at the depth, the elements don't actually know where they will end up oriented.
<InPhase>
Although there may be another way to do this by special variables and multmatrix which might be even easier, as that passes the same knowledge down the path.
<InPhase>
If the multmatrix approach checks out, I may do that instead, as it works better with the language elements, and introduces something we skipped over. :)
<InPhase>
But I probably won't write it out as a tutorial, because I'm pretty confident it will be 150 or so lines as-is just to implement.

<teepee>
ending tutorial with 20 is fine
<teepee>
that was the original plan anyway
<InPhase>
Also I should add a caveat that I'm not 100% certain that what I said above is reasonably achievable. :) I only intuited it should work.
