@jonathankoren Interesting! I use a 0.6mm CHT (high flow) nozzle on a #PrusaMINI with #PrusaSlicer and pretty much all seams are too *thick*, which makes tolerances ultra hard to get right. It feels like larger nozzles aren't yet tuned all that well in the slicers...

EDIT: scarf seams are also rather thick and ugly where they start and end.

Is there an option to tweak the seam "thickness" manually? 🤔 I didn't find any.

Are you a #PrusaSlicer or #BambuStudio user? Would you like to be able to open files directly from hosting sites that aren't owned by the same company, like in #OrcaSlicer?

It's trivial to fix, and while they may not want to for their own commercial reasons, at least we can ask!

@astraluma I use #syncthing to keep the configs in sync for #cura, #prusaslicer, and #orcaslicer. I have a NAS as central storage, and each computer syncs with it. I have a dual boot laptop and can sync the config under both Linux and Windows, as well as with the Linux mini-pc where I do most of my work with the printers. I use #octoprint to manage the printers, so I can send a print job from any slicer on any computer.

Now I've gone into mass production of gift boxes with little snowmen on them. These contain flask-sized bottles of maple syrup. Modeling around the flask shape was fun. This time I printed the carrot noses separately and glued them in, rather than do manual color changes or settle for five colors.

PolyTerra "Fall" gradient matte PLA for the box.

I printed this. I downloaded a line drawing from a coloring pages site, massaged it in Fusion 360 and PrusaSlicer, then edited the .GCODE file to insert filament changes. It has six colors; MMU3 only supports five, so I switched in the sixth color manually.

I used ironing and different infills to add more variation to the colors. See the Alt Text for details.

And I still don't know what that white thing at the lower left is supposed to be.

I should post this somewhere better after hours spent debugging, but if using #flatpak with #PrusaSlicer (or anything else with flatpak) and DNS doesn't work on Linux, check your systemd-resolved config, eg with:
> resolvectl query example.com

If this fails, fix systemd-resolved. The issue appears to be that the container uses a different nsswitch.conf than the host and forces systemd-resolved use if it is running, so if broken the host may not notice but the flatpak container will.
