13:53 <ham5urg> A bit offtopic, do you know why there is no seamless 3d prints possible. The mathmatics won't be too hard I guess. But when I transform my openscad ring-seals to gcode it is not possible for me to get the printer to print seamless. I did '--seam-position random' but I hope for some more advanced path planing for the printer.

13:54 <teepee> patents

13:54 <teepee> try scarf-seams

13:56 <ham5urg> Always the same s..t to suffer from

13:58 <teepee> scarf-seams might even be better, I have not seen a direct comparison though

13:58 <ham5urg> Which cli slicer does support scarf-seams?

13:59 <teepee> https://patents.stackexchange.com/questions/4667/3d-printing-seam-concealment-for-3d-models-patent-application-prior-art-re

14:00 <teepee> no idea, prusa 2.9 has scarf seams, it was introduced in orca I believe

14:00 <teepee> I wonder if the patents are maybe expiring soon

14:01 <teepee> ouch, it runs till 2031

14:20 <ham5urg> Maybe there are more patents. Why hide the slice internally, why not print without slice / stop, in one contiguous step?

14:26 <ham5urg> Ahh, that is indeed scarf seems.

14:31 <ham5urg> Any 2.9 prusa appimage out there?

14:36 <teepee> nope

14:36 <teepee> unless someone makes an inofficial one

14:37 <teepee> official release is now flatpak only I believe

14:37 <teepee> that's what I'm using now

16:49 <nomike_> Hi

16:50 <nomike_> What's the status of QT6 integration for OpenSCAD BTW? I see that it is the default for macos builds, but nowhere else.

17:32 <teepee> nomike_: yes, macos forced the upgrade due to build issues

17:33 <teepee> in general it should be fine where a reasonable Qt6 version is available (like >=6.4 maybe)

18:26 <teepee> crazy font magic... https://blog.janestreet.com/commas-in-big-numbers-everywhere/

18:40 <TylerTork> is there already a utility for feeding in an object and having it divided into multiple objects along a specified cut plane, with optionally ridges and grooves added to let the separate pieces easily be assembled and glued together?

18:43 <TylerTork> Like this: https://prnt.sc/X6U51ksn2wkJ and https://prnt.sc/pwel5ZeomPvy

18:49 <kintel> On macOS, the earliest Qt6 I could get working properly was 6.5

18:49 <TylerTork> I already have the code, obviously -- I just want to know whether I should make an effort to get it into shape to share, and if so what's the best way to publish it

19:21 <TylerTork> no comment?

20:03 <nomike_> TylerTork, I don't know of any feature in OpenSCAD which can do this, but you can very easily do this in PrusaSlicer. It allows for multiple different styles of connectors (e.g. dovetails). And since prusa slicer shares a lot of code with other slicers out there (e.g. orca slicer), it is likely that a feature like that is available in them too.

22:05 <TylerTork> nomike_: thanks for the reply. I have PrusaSlicer and I see dovetail but not any other style.And dovetail isn't what I want -- as shown in the picture I posted, I want to have joining features on the inside with a straight line on the exterior. Snap-together parts would be great if the snap is hidden.
