So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit… issues… I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

    I loved OctoPrint when I used it. Unfortunately, I switched to SLA printers and their support for anything open source really sucks.

      SLA printing sucks I agree, the software on the SLA side is absolute trash. The only exception is PrusaSlicer which does have SLA support, but only for Prusa’s official machines. However, there is a workaround - customize the Prusa machine profile to fit your machine and then convert the output file with UVTools (the other great FOSS SLA printing tool). These two tools make SLA printing tolerable.

        Yeah, I’ve been looking into that too. Currently, I am using LycheeSlicer, but it is a downgrade from what I was used to. I really hope one day we will have a nice open source printer like i3 that will help SLA get to the same level as FDM, but I remain skeptical.
