Hey, I just saw someone post desktop bg of this on a different community.

Plasticity is a pretty cool application that's growing pretty quickly and offers perpetual licenses, so you retain access to the program once your maintenance period expires. I think it has a ton of potential to become very useful for the 3d printing space that doesn't necessarily require the full power of a pure CAD application but needs more than something purely art-focused like 3d modeling software.

One of the greatest things is the dev takes a lot of input from the community when deciding what features are added. There's a whole website for suggesting and voting on features to be added and several of them have already been put into development and implemented already. And on top of all that it's, comparatively, affordable. I'm still learning it so I don't know the full limitations of it's usefulness for 3d printing but to me it seems very capable.

Funny, had no idea something like this was planned, I just played the original again a month or two ago. Always appreciated the style and humor of the game.

I wasn't expecting plain PLA! Are there any issues with warping due to heat from the motor?

Same here - I was pleasantly surprised at how similar it felt as a newcomer from Reddit to Lemmy. Sure it's definitely buggy, but it's version 0.18, nowhere near a 1.0 release so that was expected. Honestly I can't get mad at that when I'm enjoying the fruits of multiple others' labor and passion for free, when I didn't even expect there to be a single App out there for Lemmy in the first place. Naturally I'm excited for boost to release but Jerboa feels pretty nice to me too.
