You’re right that absence of evidence of is not evidence of absence, but when the only thing we know about this person is their commit history on this account, we can’t really make any positive assumptions beyond the story that data tells.

You as well. I do appreciate your points about language and having grace for strangers, and will try to keep them in mind moving forward.

I get what you’re saying and agree with you that there tends to be an elitist slant within this community, but that courtesy is a two-way street. I don’t think it’s that much to ask that people to put in the bare minimum to respect the spaces they enter without having to be cajoled to do so by others, and in turn, I do my best to respect the communities I visit both online and offline.

I actually rescinded my downvote after they added the tag because they were following the rules at that point, in spite of my misgivings about the project.

Elsewhere in this thread, I can’t seem to get the link on my phone:

Rulues was not readed, but i do know most people do not want AI code. So i did know what the issue you point just from your comment

I will not hold post about great FOSS project becuse of AI code.

Thanks.

They admitted that they chose not to read the community rules and appear to have assumed that they were not allowed to post about AI projects, yet chose to post anyway.

Also, translation tools are widely available on the Internet to the extent that they’re built into most browsers at this point. While they’re obviously not as good as actually being fluent, they work fine for getting the point across. I’ve used them to read non-English sites with success, even if I maybe missed some of the subtleties of the original text.

It would be far less frustrating if they had at least attempted to read the rules and made a mistake in trying to follow them.

To quote from another thread about this program:

Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.

His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.

Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?

That is vibe coding.

And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)

That is vibe coding.

So the top 3 contributes are

1. An LLM
2. Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
3. Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM and submits clearly generated code

There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.

If a program written almost entirely by Claude under somebody who has not previously demonstrated any actual competency in this domain isn’t vibe coding, I really don’t know what is.

Probably because it’s not a self hosted app, and it also appears to be almost entirely vibe coded. When asked about the former, OP also claimed they didn’t read or care about the community rules, though it does appear they’ve since added the ai tag.

It was in the ballpark of 2014-15ish IIRC, so a little over ten years

Isn’t the INDX upgrade super delayed because Bondtech couldn’t figure out the nozzle heat treating?

Wow, never knew that canvas was open source and self-hostable. My high school and undergrad both used canvas

Ditto, these are my go to brands as well

Would love your feedback — what’s missing?

You’re completely missing any regard for this community’s rules and conventions. Firstly, this is a SELF-hosting community, not a bookmark-someone’s-website community. Secondly, you are violating the community engagement and AI disclosure rules. The smallest amount of due diligence before blasting your slop out is not a lot to ask.

The fact that you couldn’t be bothered with that means I will certainly never trust you or a program associated with you to handle my financials.

Shit, I wouldn’t trust you to pour water out of a boot if the instructions were written on the sole.

The precision of the part cooling fan is largely a function of the ducting, not the fan. For that reason, this is a commonly redesigned part and findable on thingiverse/printables for most standard tool heads.

Alternatively, you are halfway to reinventing a CPAP (yes, like the sleep apnea machine). This is fairly common on high-end Ratrig and Voron builds. They were designed for enclosed printers where the air that a traditional part fan would use is already hot, so the fan gets moved outside to get cooler air and pumps it through a tube to hit the part.

Take a look at cyberdeck projects, a lot of them are basically what you’re talking about with holding everything together and batteries for portability. There are lots of guides to build them that cover all the parts you need and how to connect them, which should be a decent jumping-off point for you.

It was funny watching them desperately try to swoop and acquire markforged and desktop metal before stratasys could finish the deal. Nano dimension was already struggling at that point and was pretty obviously (imo) not well-positioned to make any acquisitions but I guess they thought one of these companies would be a lifeline back to profitability. So much for that lol.

Edit: fixed a typo

Lol that’s certainly one way to do it. I have actually seen a few mice with three buttons and a wheel but that’s obviously not whatever’s going on here

Edit: I’m an idiot, there’s 4 buttons on top apparently

Check out Ploopy. Their main focus is trackballs, but they have a mouse too.

Totally. I prefer to have a little cure time to get things set and aligned properly, for some reason it nakes me feel panic-y when the set time is super quick lol.

Cyanoacrylate, aka CA glue or superglue, is the best adhesive for PLA. After applying the glue, fixture or clamp together the parts you are planning to adhere and then leave them alone while the glue cures.

Onshape is nice and I enjoy using it, but the free tier has some really absurd caveats that anyone considering the platform should be aware of:

Free users are restricted from commercial use and all designs are publicly-available.

Additionally, while free users technically continue to own the IP they create, they lose control of licensing rights. Section 1.7.2.2 Your content - Intellectual Property of the Terms of Use states

For any Public Document owned by a Free Plan User created on or after August 7, 2018, or any Public Document created prior to that date without a LICENSE tab, Customer grants a worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license to any End User or third party accessing the Public Document to use the intellectual property contained in Customer’s Public Document without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Document, and to permit persons to whom the Document is made available to do the same.

In theory, this means that while free users cannot monetize designs they made on the platform, paid users can take those files and monetize them without the consent of the creator(s).

Did you read the megathread pinned at the top of the community?
