3D print enthusiasts

[phodina via]

Hi,

I was wondering how many of us are there 3D print enthusiasts.

And also what solution do you use?

For me it's the following stack Prusa slicer, Prusa i3 Mk3s and Octoprint.

Here are also the patches for Octoprint if you want to to test. [1]

Also would it make sense to prepare the package for the firmware for the printer using Guix?

The firmware for the printer is based on Marlin [2] and compiled with arm-none-gcc.

some time ago there were efforts to add Slic3r:
   https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43906
I should have continued looking at the patches...

Personally I moved to cura, which as far as I can tell is broken in Guix.
There are no definitions of printing materials, and I am not able to add
any by hand. Maybe it is trying to write things into the store? It should
be possible to add the missing data during the build, I would like to have
a look soon.

I just bumped into the same issue. I also started using Cura a while ago 
(before switched from Ubuntu to Guix) because - not really calling 
myself a 3D printing "enthusiast" but rather "occasional hobbyist" - I 
found it somewhat easy to use.

That would be awesome. Meanwhile it might also be possible to use the 
AppImage package (which I used that under Ubuntu previously) under `guix 
shell --emulate-fhs` if you're desperate, but I' haven't tried that yet.
