Not sure, but I think I know what you’re talking about… Have you checked SuperSlicer? I’m not saying they have a solution - hadn’t used it in years and just checked it out again recently. It’s a fork of PrusaSlicer that has a lot of advanced and niche tweaks. Just one example I noticed when I downloaded it recently: do you know about the floating hole issue for bolt inserts, where slicers just make bridged circles floating in air, and you have to do some hack with one layer thick square cutouts in the model to fix that? SuperSlicer has a built in option for it that just already slices that correctly - saw it in their release notes and tried it, worked great.

That is all to say, they have a lot of advanced tweaks for slicing issues, in the familiar package of Slic3r and PrusaSlicer UI, so might be worth checking it out

Well, I guess you don’t wanna fuck around with an angry rabid penguin, but this person should be ok resizing a partition 😂

I recently tried shortwave (flatpak) and it works pretty well. Let’s you search for public streams, and if the radio stream includes song data, it even auto records individual tracks for you if you want. Pretty minimalist and functional

Oh, good to hear!

Oh sorry, how many hundredths of millimeter are you are adjusting at a time. You should just make small adjustments and try them on a small first layer test print. But I guess you’re live adjusting, so what I said doesn’t make a lot of sense

Also, how much are you adjusting, in terms of steps?

Yeah, a warm soapy wash is definitely a good step to include here. Let us know how it comes out

I was gonna say the z offset is too low, so the filament is getting squeezed around the nozzle and bunching up in those gobs. Did your adjustment work?

Oh lord, as someone teaching a bunch of technologically illiterate college students something that requires a lot less computer skills, teaching CAD to today’s high schoolers sounds rough. I am a millennial that started on DOS, and joke to them that back in my day, to play video games I had to climb uphill both ways in the snow, and, use a terminal lol. And funny that you mention your KDE setup, I use plasma and one of my first thoughts was “I bet there’s a KDE widget/applet for that” haha

Well, you just came up with a great way to sell it, since we are already basically treating politics like sports. Brackets for president!
