Guest35: ^ See this tutorial for how to do it. It's not a hard language to learn.

Out of curiosity I fixed the usage of keyword module as a variable error, and it looks like a misshapen mess. So the syntax is getting closer from chatgpt, but the competence on making designs that are meaningful is not much better than it was.

I sent a mail to the discussion list but it didn't make it, does someone need to manually approve the message since its the first one?

Hello everyone,
<KSandeep>
My name is Kandula Sandeep Kumar, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Warangal. Alongside, I’m also working towards a Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Programming through an online degree program from IIT Madras.
<KSandeep>
Chatbot Development: Built using Dialogflow, Vue.js, and FastAPI to create an interactive user interface with backend integration.
<KSandeep>
Laptop Price Prediction: An ML-based project involving data preprocessing, visualization, and building predictive models.
<KSandeep>
My coding journey also includes solving 200+ problems on LeetCode, which has sharpened my problem-solving skills.
<KSandeep>
I am excited to start contributing to OPENSCAD and have begun exploring the repositories and community discussions. As I get to know the codebase and issues better, I would be grateful for any advice or suggestions on where to begin. If there are beginner-friendly tasks, helpful documents, or tips to follow, please let me know. I’m looking
<KSandeep>
forward to learning, collaborating, and making useful contributions to the project.

KSandeep you probably want to learn C++ first...

stealth_: it seems to work, I'm not really using bambu studio though
<stealth_>
teepee: what you using? orca?

prusa, I have a mk4
<stealth_>
aww, well i mean what you using for slicer
<teepee>
that's what the first prusa meant :) prusa-slicer
<stealth_>
o right, i support bambu is a fork of that, and orca is fork of bambu
<teepee>
yep, an all are originally based on slic3r
<teepee>
quite some history there
<stealth_>
suppose so, i do like how bambu works and easy to use, its just having to switch from wayland to x11 juse to use that is going to be annoying
<stealth_>
i like wayland since verythins is more smooth vs x11
<teepee>
try the same variable thing? maybe that helps with bambu too
<teepee>
otherwise, let me check there should be a variable disabling hardware 3d rendering
<teepee>
that should not be hugely critical to a slicer
<stealth_>
i tried it without opengl, didn't think it did anything
<teepee>
in a terminal window:
<teepee>
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true
<teepee>
then run the application from that same terminal
<stealth_>
k, let me try
<stealth_>
how should i run it? `export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true bambu-studio` doesn't work
<J25k72>
if you load the "colored" version this doesn't happen, probably because it was colored with MS 3Dbuilder that is screwing the 3mf file in different ways
<teepee>
yep, exactly, I'm getting the dialog for other files
stealth_ has quit [Quit: stealth_]
<teepee>
hmm, I guess we would want to have that as export option too
<teepee>
in openscad I mean
<J25k72>
Cura (not sure about the actual version) was always using the position and you could deactivate the "drop to build plate"
<J25k72>
But slic3r is always centering objects and drop
stealth_ has joined #openscad
<J25k72>
it was cool in cura as you could load different 3mf and each had its own position on the bed
<J25k72>
But in the end that is how slicer handling things - or ignore
<stealth_>
i see, makes sense, since those are meant to run with AMS for multicolor print.
<J25k72>
opening those 3mf with a 3D software works fine because positions are not reset .. however the color version show some double geometry in different size - not sure what MS is doing there
<stealth_>
J25k72: are you the one who designed the cone?
<teepee>
not MS, thats a bug in the importers
<teepee>
OpenSCAD imports that just fine now with the lates changes I did
<teepee>
that's how it *should* look like and there is no random duplicated geometry
<stealth_>
o.O i didn't know you can import objects like that in openscad :D :D :D
<teepee>
import itself exists for a long time, that color import is maybe a month old or two :-)
<stealth_>
nice...
<teepee>
and that fixed the 3mf reading big tme
<teepee>
*time
<teepee>
the old behaviour worked most of the time, but was quite wrong actually

i though you could only import other openscad files, this makes managing large projects a big easy.
<stealth_>
bit*
<teepee>
I'd still try to stick with scad modules and limit mesh files as much as possible
<teepee>
but with 3mf and the latest improvements, using that as some sort of external cache should work ok
<stealth_>
ya, if there is an external object you want to use in your project and you don't have source for it
<J25k72>
openSCAD becomes the tool to repair 3mf files - Ü
<teepee>
needs the import filter first maybe
<teepee>
to pick it into parts on import already
<J25k72>
stealth_ yes i made that cone / scad script
<stealth_>
J25k72: cool, its cute. was thinking i should print some and plase it on the ground in front of mail box so the mail man doesn't slip on ice (snow)
<J25k72>
there are files for the cone surface so you can cut them from retroreflective tissue and glue onto
<stealth_>
having tiny once are more funny! lol :p
