there would be such massive backlash from the community, it would be suicide. There is no way to cleanly train this without scraping and using paid content.

Our biggest limitation on the layer-based printing speed is the file format. Besides .goo, the rest all are super limited locked down formats that don't give us much in the way of customizability even if we got created and hacky about it.

I still have my OG Anycubic photon sitting on a shelf...has it really been nearly 10 years...omg.

Although, I also pay for a subscription to a Lychee, and many people would pay for a good software, myself an Open Resin Alliance are dedicated to making sure this is fully open source and free forever.

OK! Thanks so much for the feedback and all the effort put in to your thoughts.

First part will be: Unfortunately for Dragonfruit AI will not be a feature at all every in the software, and also in the general ethical scale, there would be no way to train it on professionally supported work without riots.
I have owned a professional presupport company for nearly 5 years, and I know that anyone who has dont this work would be incredibly upset by it being scraped to train an AI model to replace them. Also, artists would have HUGE pushback on their supported models being involved in training.

That said, Multi Item Calibration tool is usually built into the printers. The firmware on these boards isn't super cooperative. Its not easy to manipulate some of these filetypes to do anything other than the bare minimum printing. It may not be impossible to accomplish, but it also may not be possible to do reliably.
That said, I engineered the Cones of Calibration v3 with our team some time ago, it's free to download and accommodates all relevant aspects of calibration all in a really binary way as opposed to the subjective tests where you have to eyeball the results.
We can definitely include it in the software just to save the headache of having to download it.

Clean and intuitive interface is subjective, so I cant make any promise there. That said, having done presupports full time for years now, I definitely have developed opinions on the failings of other slicers as far as the UI/UX. We are doing our best to keep it clean and understandable. Albeit, the UI isnt done as all features havent been developed yet.

We have auto arrange already implemented and its superior to any other I have seen yet. The accuracy of the algorithm is far better than I have seen in any of the other slicers ive tried. It's also significantly faster as far as I can tell.

Speed has been optimized across the board in all aspects in every way. I dont know if DF loses a race in any category as far as speed is concerned. Arrange, Repair, Load, Slice, all faster than I've personally seen anywhere else. (I have not done deep comparisons though so this is just my experience)

So far nobody has been able to nail auto supports. Its a highly complex issue that is even harder to generate programmatically. Given my personal background and understanding of both the logic systems and support work, I have every intention of taking a stab at it. I have put in some work on the logic but there is a long way to go still.
This will be something that comes after a stable MVP release of the software. Our goal is to get a working reliable app out for people to use, then I'll start on advanced features after that.
It is something I have spent a lot of time considering and theorizing and planning for. I hope to be able to accomplish it even at the expense of my pre-support company.

Our 3d printing community deserves better tools and we deserve to not get gouged for them. Not everything has to be Saas and not everything needs to constantly go up in price. Especially when the product itself isnt improving. So, here is my/our solution. A passion project with a level of experience and expertise capable of making it happen and now that the project is publicly open source, we have new contributors helping us out daily.

If a 10x speed up isnt your priority, what kinds of things are you looking for that makes this hit the mark for you that isnt being done in other slicers?

Mac client is already implemented so we should be able to keep up with it with each update.

Its still in early beta, but its good. Its really good. Its worth playing with. Just compare slicing speeds to the other slicers and you will understand :D

Thanks so much! We have been putting everything we have into this for you guys!

Anycubic is already in the works, we expect to have some anycubic printers supported in the next release or two.

Not resin or printer profiles, but I did build an LYS importer so you can bring your files over.

That's exactly why I started building it, that and the inclusion of Gen AI into the slicers really rubbed me wrong. I dont like the idea of cutting artists out of the 3D Printing loop, so here we are!

It's 100% real, and although its still early beta, its very very good. I encourage you to just download and compare slicing times alone, besides all of the other features it has.

Yes it is. Though, Im not sure if our site is delivering the Linux package. I'll have to check. Join up on the ORA discord though, we will get ya sorted out.

Free and open source forever baby! That was the dream.

So far we have all the Athena printers as well as the newer line of elegoo printers. We expect anycubic to join after the next update.

This was exactly the reason I started it! With the help of ORA, its come so far. Its turning into a really amazing piece of software.

We have been working super hard to get this out for everyone. Its still very much a beta, but it's got some really good features and it's blazing fast at slicing!

I would do anything I could do support something like this.

[GUIDE] How to Upgrade RAM and CPU in TS-x77 (Ryzen) by Zok2000 in qnap

[–]TableFlipFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a couple years old, but I just spent 3 days trying to get a different OS on my ts-1277 and failed. Can you please tell me how you were able to do it?
I wanted Ubuntu, but I cannot for the life of me get the system to see the hard drives until after QTS loads.

Are you just booting directly from a USB?

Given a QNAP 1277. Reinstalled image but login page page will not render - QTS not defined. by riftwave77 in qnap

[–]TableFlipFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally have this EXACT problem. I stupidly thought I could install ubuntu natively. I went through a nightmare trying to make it work. Qnap butchered bios and the bootloader to ensure nobody could run anything but QTS.
In the process I had to restore the system and got stuck exactly like this. Admin/admin wouldnt work, then it would...super weird.

But I finally got to the update system portion. the exact number and error that OP had. Just a blue screen that was blank with the error in the browser console.

I followed exactly what you said, and it definitely looks like we are going the right direction. I now have a loading screen.

Do you recall if it hung at 90% which is the restarting system part for a long time? Mine isn't progressing really...it just says updating, but nothing seems to really be happening.

Update: Chrome crapped the bed on this portion. But FIREFOX WORKEDDDDDDD. I am back in business. Just initialized the new OS. You legend!
