  • An interesting customer base might be small communal organisations. At our local scouts troop I had a discussion with a friend, who is also in IT. His idea (not fleshed out) was to provide small local organizations with a stack of already configured open source software to support the typical needs of such organizations (like a wordpress website, a nextcloud for file storage and common calender, limesurvey for surveys and event registration, mailman3 for mailing lists,…). Depending on the needs you could sell the initial setup process (your personal work in setting up and skill transfer) or ongoing support. Though such organizations normally don’t have much money to give away. So probably its not really worth your time financially (though probably really appreciated in the community).


  • I’ve previously printed custom lego pieces for the Lego League kids, that my wife has at work. I’m using a Creality Ender 3 S1 with 0.4mm nozzle. Though I’ve not tried smaller parts. They were 8x2 units and 2 or 3 units high. They have the name of the kid on the side. It took some tries to get the tolerances good enough, but now I can print them with normal speed and minimal post processing.

    So I think it depends on what pieces you want to print.





  • You only cloned the sketch into the other bodies. You still need to use these sketches in each body to create a pocket. So activate one of the side panels for editing (double clicking on the body in the list, so that the name is bold), then selecting the sketch clone and clicking the pocket symbol in the part design workbench. Set its depth and click ok. Repeat for the other side panel


  • Which then wouldn’t be a legally full verification of your age, thus the legislation would probably require some other means. We currently have a similar discussion in the EU regarding porn sites. Verification methods could be showing your id card and your face to a webcam, or showing up at a verification office in person (at least in germany we have this with our national postal service). Of course the porn sites don’t want to implement this. And I cannot really blame them. Nobody would give a random porn site their real identity and it would still be very easy to get porn without verification.

    Age verification on social media is very similar.



  • Die niemand kontrollieren wird? Allgemeine Verkehrskontrolle würde da schon helfen. Oder möchtest du mit der Begründung auch gleich sowas wie die Anschnallpflicht abschaffen? Die hat seit der Einführung viele Leben gerettet und wird genauso kontrolliert, wie es ein Rauchverbot mit Kindern und Schwangeren wäre. Und um sich auf den gesunden Menschenverstand zu berufen müssten wir wohl mal eine einheitliche Definition habenn was jetzt dem gesunden Menschen entspricht. Dann würde vlt auch nicht immer und überall so viel Scheiße passieren.



  • I guess you have some kind of linux based system of your home server. The USB connection to the printer will create a Serial Interface in your system under /dev. How it is called depends on the USB chip used in your printer, but often this is something like ttyUSB0.

    So when connecting the printer you get the device file /dev/ttyUSB0 (or similar) on your home server (yes, the Serial interface is just a special file on that level). You can now mount this device file into the docker container like any other hostfile via the volume option.

    Like docker run -v /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 octoprint or by using the volumes key for your octoprint service in the docker-compose file, providing the same string as in the docker run command.

    I think that should work, though I haven’t tested it.
