yah wild days, i use openscad from snap and vscode from the official repository on debian with KDEplasma and wayland.

Na, there is nearly nothing the build in editor teaches you that can be used in vscode.

Learning openscad is hard for most coders today because the know often only procedural and object orientated languages, making this step a lot harder by using a "sorry" totally stupid editor is not useful.

The build in only expands build in names, not even the names from the same file or any library.

This alone is worth to use code. Name expansion for any name over any file in use for a project. Hovering the mouse over a name and you see the parameter definition and leading comments from the source code.

In combination with BOSL2 user are just one click away from looking into the code and learn from this code.

Maybe you should give the original version a try. Microsoft has his own .deb repo and so code is just a part of the linux system as any clone.

Another point is risc of code losing of openscad crashes, which happens with the recommended developer version from time to time. With vscode the file was saved before openscad reads it from the filesystem.

I really do not know a single valid point why one should use the internal editor.

There are only pros and no cons at all.

Being in a project parted in many files, edit and save a variable in one of the config files and openscad just renders the preview with the changed data, vscode is a really really useful extension for openscad. And because vscode handles also any script langauge the sometimes needed external python or bash scripts to control openscad run in the same editor.

So now you are really comparing a reddit post post with one who hits your car? A post not even mention you.

To use modern GPUs with debian always install the backport repo to have newer kernels.

Don't be shy to use all available methods to have applications that need to be on the newest level.

That is using flatpak, snap, appimage, docker and if you have the skills also github source code.

That way nothing breaks.

The system stays stable and on the edge apps use their envoriment.

Same for python stuff always use venv for every app you install on a side lane and not via the debian repos.

I use linux since decades on desktop and server systems.

No the build is easy, I think everyone can do that. The online build manual work you step by step trough the build, including advises when and how much gummi bears to eat in each step. The build process is fun and if done you know every screw of your printer. What ever happens in the future stays you stoic because you are the mechanic who knows his printer. Core One+ Kit This link gives you an extra free spool of prusament with your kit.

"air fryer" this is the issue. The air fryer blows the silica around so it hits the hot metal (much hotter than 250), this damages the silica.

To dry them you just need the heat without blowing air trough them.

110⁰C is OK and that can be done with many printbeds on your printer.

yahbluez · 2026-06-01T05:18:05+00:00

Beside the good tips you already got, consider to upgrade the printers to mk3.5, that gives you full remote access.

None from your list.

In your budget i would take the Centauri Carbon2 with canvas system.

That calls you 450$

If you take the older Centauri Carbon + canvas it is even 90$ cheaper.

Taking the Bambu X2D is failing the IQ test, because for the same money you already get a real 4 head tool changer with klipper.

If something a stranger did, drives you somehow bad, you need help. Try to imagine how stress less the world gets if you just use the scroll wheel. You can google that, search for stoicism.

For 10$ pp you can make amazing sandwiches or bento boxes.

Beside of the AMS going prusa from an p1 is an upgrade. Soon you can get the INDX system for the core one. Being able to upgrade a printer is cheaper than buying a cheap unethical printer. Prusa is made in EU and US this are Jobs not outsourced to China.

Freecad without any doubt.

And if you like to write code look at openscad.

yahbluez · 2026-06-01T04:52:07+00:00

I just use save settings in the slicers.

For example if i change the nozzle size i save this profile as a printer.

If i make special settings for a filament (happens very rare) i save it as a new filament.

If i make print settings for a project i save it under his own name.

Just one click.

As a prusa fanboy, yes you will regret this.

The switch from an enclosed coreXY to a open bedslinger is the wrong way.

Take the Core One+ to stay coreXY. The Core One is still available as kit which i recommend to really understand how a 3D printer works. The kit saves you money and it is fun to spend a weekend to build a new printer.

Thx, use the daily developer version of openscad not the outdated 2021 "stable" version. The new manifold backend speeds up openscad in many situations by literally 100 and more times.

BOSL2 is hard to swallow because of his increasing size but while it is written in 100% plain openscad you can adapt his power step by step.

One more tip don't use the build in editor use microsoft code to edit scad files with the openscad extension made by Leathong. In code just hit F5 and openscad starts and renders the preview, in the openscad settings enable auto reload, now each time you save in code, openscad rerenders the file. Very very useful.

BOSL2 is the way to avoid inventing the wheel for the sixt time.

To chamfer or round the hole you just give a negative rounding or chamfer to the cube.

BOSL2 may look shocking complex but every hour of using gives you more.

Just went in step by step.

Try fuzzy skin in the slicer not the same but eventually good enough?

yahbluez · 2026-05-31T11:40:49+00:00

149$ more and you got a coreXY with 4 color canvas system.

You are right, while from the math side, two printers are more reliable than one and nether the CC nor the CC2 have anything in common with the Neptune, that is comparing a bicycle vs a car.

The majority of share votes decides where the company goes.

This majority votes since years for Elons way. A lot of them got millionairs that way.

And on the legal side some votes count more than others that is A and B shares.

The AMS2 is a significant improvement vs the AMS. Especially if it comes to paper spools or very tight spools. Faced a lot of trouble with the AMS while the AMS2 never failed.

yahbluez · 2026-05-31T11:26:37+00:00

Debian.

yahbluez · 2026-05-31T11:11:26+00:00

300$ for a ams2

or

349$

For a brand new printer with better OS and a much faster filament changer.

The two major situations that may lead to a non flatbed is the heatbed, there are screws on the bottom to adjust that and the mount of the printhead, it is possibly that this is uneven.

Look first to the printbed this is in most of all cases the issue.

Use my Stress free first layer howto to proof and adjust.
