I wrote up a little guide to troubleshooting 3D printing issues for FDM printers. I’ll have to knock out a resin one soon enough, but in the meantime… I chose to post this one on the old work account at: https://www.bootstrappers.mn/post/an-introduction-to-troubleshooting-3d-printers

Dragonne .stl from the Monster Manual
For all you D&D print and paint nerds out there, here’s another design from the 1st edition Monster Manual: Dragonne. There are two versions (wings opened and wings closed): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5413146 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5415625. I’ve found the supports are easier with the wings opened There are two versions available for download. This is part of the larger Monster Manual project. To see all the .stl files (only a few are mine) check out https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nAJ4y2JxQU2lb6jWOzqU9GdQtHIS4Z3P3NDHgOMEE9I/edit#gid=0.

Neo-Otyugh from the 1E Monster Manual
Published a 3d model for printing, along with the source Blender file but some experimentation in ZBrush later and here’s an stl of a Neo-Otyugh ready to print. Also please find the .zpr file in the same Thingiverse post at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5404664. It printed easily and there weren’t that many supports to remove, although I might focus on fewer supports in future models. I’m painting it so I’ll post a photo to the Thing when it’s done.

State Preservation vs Power Nap for macOS
Mac OS X Lion was introduced in 2011 and came with a new feature called Power Nap. This allows computers to receive push notifications, check for new messages, update calendar events, run iCloud updates, download software updates, and run Time Machine backups in the background while a computer is asleep – they don’t go all the way to sleep, they just kinda’ take a nap. Application persistence was released the next year and is an API that Apple uses in a number of programs on and exposes to third party software developers who can opt into the ability to have the state of an application persist and be restored when…

swiftquiver.com
swiftquiver is a framework to embed wizards into apps. It’s fairly simple, localized, and really, really modular. The source is at https://github.com/krypted/swiftquiver and it’s all in swiftui. Easily add more steps to a wizard, remove those that aren’t needed, call other functions once added, etc. Hope it helps anyone out there doing the same type of stuff!
