As far as I know, Xeyes has "always" been part of GUI oriented Linux installs, and despite using it for mouse testing from time to time for over 25 years at this point, I never read the manpage. Well, my daughter, aged five, likes to play with xeyes and I decided to check the manpage if there was something I could do to change it up a little. Well, there is.

"WTF does this switch do?" *tests* "lol, of course that's what it does..."

Note: The switch is case sensitive. I have version 1.3.0 here, not sure when this option was added.

EDIT: Lemmy won't let me embed .mp4 inline, so I edited this post into a link. I also posted it here for those with cache issues.

I'm now into my 3rd day with this printer, and while it's been pretty smooth sailing with PETG so far, I have noticed some consistent layer gore on the first layer. It is consistent across prints with large flat surfaces, and always in the same spots.

However, what made me curious is the fact that it seemed to be at perfect 45 degree angle and at regular intervals, as if it's some remnant of the first layer of another print.

These pectures were taken during the first print after cleaning the print sheet with warm water and dish soap. (I'm getting isopropyl alcohol next week).

Any tips and/or theories? The rest of the print comes out just fine, although I'm still tweaking the extrusion modifier.

PS: I'll gather additional data over time based on the tips and theories posted in here. I'll update the thread in a few days once I have some results (or lack thereof) to report.

UPDATE: For starters, slicer templates are at play. I didn't notice that I had reverted to default when loading a project.
Beyond that, I've started playing with extrusion multiplier as per recommendations in here, and it's getting better. I'm still trying to dial this in perfectly so that I get the other layers nice and full without nozzle accumulating any gunk. Once satisfied I'll play around with settings for first layer.
I guess the updated theory is that the print head movements of the first layer happens to cause washboarding in those positions even if I rotate the print. I would suspect a large surface print would instead of two would result in a single washboard patch.

Possibly roman themed

So I've decided to get "back" into 3d printing. I was getting into it in 2012 and I started assembling a kit, but then life happened and I never had enough time or room to complete it.

However, now I'm in a much better place (both literally and figuratively), so I've decided to dive back in. However, last time around it seemed that almost everything was some variant of Prusa, and I think I want to go in a less DYI direction this time.

• Once calibrated, doesn't need much fidgeting or maintenance.
• More or less prefabricated. Some assembly is fine, but I don't want to sit there an dremmel a hobbled bolt again, or build a power supply.
• I prefer one of those enclosed printers, as it will be in a location with minimal climate control.
• Must not rely on any software that does not run on linux
• I'm not too worried about printing speed. Print quality matters more to me.
• Preferably one that is fixable if it breaks.
• Single filament is fine.
• Don't need wifi

Any suggestions?

Oh, and I still have a spool of ABS around here somewhere.. Is this still a reasonable material choice? Any other materials worth considering if I prefer the prints to be durable and not brittle?

This is where I could list a budget or preferred price range, but purchasing power parity and exchange rates probably complicates this, so let's just say "reasonably priced"

UPDATE: I ordered a Prusa Core One. I went for the kit, as I will hopefully better understand how I can fix it later after assembly. I threw in a spool of PETG as well, as I'm curious about the material.

CR2032 in case you were wondering.

Now I have a can that is 98% full, and I probably won't need any more until a couple of years.

I was thinking about setting up a game server for some friends and I, but I want it to be a game where you don't have to wait for others to be online to have fun.

I also want it to be a long-term thing, and where those who don't want to invest too much time can engage in casual play.

Bonus points if the game doesn't become cluttered with builds from players who drop out - I'd love to make it public (or close to it) and see what the world ends up looking like.

I was considering an open Minecraft server with some mods, but it's a bit too heavy once the amount of players becomes significant. Plus then I'd have to deal with griefers.

Oh, and of course, a game that does not break everything once it updates.
