My Mini has also been fantastic! I’ve been running it for about a year with almost no issues, primarily printing petg. Far more reliable than my last two Enders which surprised me. I also just recently upgraded my extruder, heat break and nozzle with Bondtech equipment, which has produced some great results.

Yeah I mostly stuck with Blender because I didn’t want to tackle a whole new program at the time, and it has fit my needs pretty well since. But I do agree that you are better off with a real CAD program for most things, especially if you are starting from scratch. I haven’t used OpenSCAD much, but it will probably be one of my choices if I need to do more precise/portable work.

I know this is bot post, but for those interested here’s a link to the Kagi blog explaining what this is, https://blog.kagi.com/small-web

TLDR; Kagi is basically promoting recent content from small blog posts and websites that difficult or impossible to find with google or the other advertising based search engines. This helps you finding interesting content that is not based on click count or corporate advertising.

I have to throw a vote in for Blender. It’s certainly not the best tool for precise CAD work, but for those who are already familiar with using Blender, you can create excellent models for 3D printing, even without plugins. I also love the fact that you can animate, shade, and render your models for presentations or documentation all in the same program. Yeah sure, some of the other programs have a similar capability when you install their add-ons and such, but Blender is free and doesn’t force you into any eco system. And seriously, it’s honestly crazy that Blender is free for how good it is.

Good work man, that’s a nice setup. Loving the custom frame.

Bureaucracy at its finest. They even state in the article that the engineers proposed different designs but they were vetoed. The project managers and government officials are just as responsible for this.

😂😂

What are cats made of?

Do some research to see if other people have been able to use the banking app you need. There’s a chances that your banking app won’t work. Many people just use the Vanadium browser to access their bank on the phone instead of the app.

Not sure about dual boot, but you can have multiple profiles in Graphene.

As for apps, everyone has different needs. You can still use google play on GrapheneOS if you wish. Or you can use Fdroid and Aurora to get most apps without having to use google play. Most people choose this route because they are trying to distance themselves from google and want more privacy.

Bottom line is that GrapheneOS is designed around privacy and greater control for the user. It will never be as convenient as a stock Android or Apple install, that’s just the trade you make for better privacy. Make sure you have all your data backed up before you switch, and do your research about any apps that you are currently using that you can’t live without. See what other peoples experience are with using them on Graphene.

This is fantastic :D

This is actually fantastic
