  • A utility to map extruded lines/objects/shapes to STL files. For example, say you have an STL of a curved vase. You want to add a spiral to it. So you place the photo of a spiral on the object. The utility lets you decide where on the STL it’ll be placed, then you can decide the extrusion depth (positive or negative).

    Possibly including some type of LLM, too. So you can import your STL, then type something like “picture of the Simpsons in the style of ancient Greek amphora vase paintings.” It’ll appear as line art on the 3D object

    Note that I don’t need this, myself. You want to work on something interesting, so I thought for a few minutes and came up with this. :)














  • The best distro? One that he’ll be able to use easily. One that will get him to actually LIKE the experience.

    You don’t want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.

    You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say “I told you so” for the rest of his life.

    Manjaro is pretty easy to use and seems to have good hardware compatibility. A variety of Ubuntu flavors also can mimic Windows and work really well.
