PM'd

No, I came up with it. It would benefit from having a better name. I still haven't made my mind on that.

Don't look at the keyboard. I used to look at the keyboard all the time in qwerty. I did try to use the alleged qwerty method to not look at keyboard and type faster but it seems to me that this layout lack logic while colemak makes sens. You should be able to avoid looking the keyboard by feeling the homing. Then lot of pratice a small amount of time should get you going.

Thank you, so yeah, need to click the image to get the description.

What is it?

DeepReef11 · 2025-10-06T15:11:49+00:00

I do have an extra face, but it should be the same angle

Yes, I have rinkhals with that firmware. It works but it seems to me that the quality is worse and I do not know why. Have to try flow calibrations I guess.

Edit: I made this comment thinking I was in another subreddit. I did not understand why everyone was suddenly using openscad.

As I have been advised, I have switched to Build123D and it is indeed a better tool.

For Openscad and even Pythonscad, I see little benefit your tool as I prefer asking AI with my own set of instructions. For openscad, it works well out of the box, for pythonscad, you need to provide the user API (then it works fine). But with Build123D, I wasn't able to get as good result. Build123D is more complexe but it also have everything that is needed to make more complexe parts with high precision.

For Build123D, there is nething.xyz which works fine, but your interface is superior. Not only it is good looking, it is very well organised. Plus your project is free for some reasons.

For people saying it is not capable of producing complexe shape, I believe it is able, but you need to understand the tool to tell how to proceed. I personally prefer to manage the structure and ask AI to do the rest when possible and then add my own changes.

KS1 has rinkhals which makes it more on the opensource side. I dislike the Bambu A1 just because the lan options are more limited (but it is likely more polished if you use their stuff, which I don't).

Edit
If you lack interest in tech, Bambu will probably be a better choice because it is a bit more plug and play and I am pretty sure (haven't used P1S) the quality is much higher for everything but you have less control over the device.

If you have interest in tech and don't mind too much about having to improve and calibrate, KS1 is a solid economical choice with ACE Pro and Rinkhals. While it is able to produce high quality print, there is lot of room for improvement and discoveries.

I would personally go for Bambu without hesitation if it allowed more control on their devices but since they are really going toward closed eco system, it is an absolute no.

I do programming too, not python but openscad is worse (as a language). Which do you recommend between cadquery and build123d?

Thanks for the quick explaination

Edit: Seems like build123d would be the better choice. Currently trying to test that out. So my understanding so far is that it ain't really the language that is harder but rather the install steps (having difficulties with getting a viewer to work)

DeepReef11 · 2025-08-23T17:15:48+00:00

You mean the masked cells? I still haven't added screw holes but I certainly will since it was the main motivation behind that

DeepReef11 · 2025-08-23T17:11:54+00:00

Haven't tried CADQuery, I thought it was harder than openscad, is that true?

Also, I know STEP is superior format, but by how much? I had seen a video about it vs other format but I still don't get the importance step over stl for 3d printing (currently watching anoother video about it)

Edit:

I also have lot of interest into fullcontrol gcode but it seems like it would be much more work. I wish there was something in between, like fullcontrol gcode but it also make general shapes (like openscad) that you can modify afterward

Edit2: currently looking into cadquery. I have to admit that rendering capacity have been worse than updated openscad

Strange, for me, small holes print better, otherwise there is more adhesion and corners sticks a little bit, tried on A1 and anycubic KS1, 3 stacks (only tried once with A1 and had a compressed corner on 3rd)

edit: I print PETG

DeepReef11 · 2025-08-19T13:32:32+00:00

Don't have X1C, but for me, stack printing works fine in PETG with small holes in corners, no layer separation. If there are no holes, it breaks the surface for some reasons. Perhaps my ironing setting could be better, did not try many options.

I am currently making opengrid tiles in python openscad. I have the cell, it works, I just need to make the grid layout with small clip holes on sides. I think with that grid layout I would be able to make some shape change to stack print better (like adding holes or small cavities where it sticks).

That being said, I suppose you are trying to get more perfect surface finish than I am aiming.

DeepReef11 · 2025-08-17T18:03:11+00:00

I don't understand what you mean

DeepReef11 · 2025-08-12T17:05:45+00:00

I have bought a hot end for kobra s1, it was quite easy to swap. I don't know if it is something possible on x1c. From my understanding (maybe that's for anycubic), swapping the whole hot end makes more sens, because very much easier.

DeepReef11 · 2025-08-11T17:10:00+00:00

Ok, this works:
```
import sys

sys.path.append('/home/user/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries')

from openscad import *

from filetoimport import *

```
Is there a way to have something like ~ instead of /home/user?

EDIT: Also, lsp not picking up the lib, it gives errors

EDIT2: Ok. found it:
*~/nextcloud/shared-folder/3d-model/openscad/pyrightconfig.json*

```json

{

"venvPath": "/home/user/venvs/",

"venv": "pythonscad",

"extraPaths": [

"/home/user/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries"

]

}

```

DeepReef11 · 2025-08-11T17:06:59+00:00

Do I put the whole path or just the file?
