  • I used it a couple of weeks ago to create a replacement part for my canon 6D. I lost the top dial lol.

    But in general, my interests are to create lens adapters and optics to use with my camera and my UV alternative photography printing projects.

    My initial purchase for my 3D printer was to print IEMs and custom iem ear protection. Somehow I made the numbers work for my wife’s approval. And indeed I was able to 3D scan a silicon mold of my inner ear canal and then used blender and UGNX to create an IEM geometry. From there it was simple to get it sliced for the mars 3 printer. I totally hate that there’s not really a good opensource slicer for it on Linux. So design and slice on windows and then go back home to Linux until this last little camera part when I finally decided to do everything on Linux. FreeCAD for the design and the Linux slicer for the mars printer.













  • How about instead the parents decide? I can let me kid use the computer for as long or as little as I want. Cars have no age verification. Simply driving as a minor is not allowed. I get to train my kid to drive or go to driving school. Thus a computer simply needs me to be root and for I to establish my own control and destructions. If the law says you can’t be on the internet as a minor, then fine I can restrict the internet access. Otherwise a computer is just a fancy calculator.
