-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Lulzbot going out of business and Prusa Slicer updates/bugs Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2019 13:00:01 -0700 From: Mark C. To: mhroncok@redhat.com, ...
Hello,
I'm writing to you because you're listed on the Fedora 3D Printing SIG as TAZ (Lulzbot) and/or Prusa users.
First, Lulzbot is going out of business. They've released two updates recently which are not available via the Fedora repos. These are very likely the last cura-lulzbot releases. They contain important printer support and bug fixes. These new releases should be captured (downloaded) and new packages released before Lulzbot shuts down their sites. The source for both releases should be captured in case their last release contains new bugs.
Second, an updated version of Prusa Slicer is available. It contains important updates/bug fixes. The current package in the repo is out of date and has a significant bug preventing it from functioning correctly on HiDPI systems.
Prusa's appimage based binary does not appear to have the same problem with HiDPI displays. I wrote to Prusa support about the HiDPI display related bug. They stated the problems seen with the Fedora package are caused by "linking against the wrong version of the GTK libraries".
Thank you for your time and attention.
Mark C.

I've put some backups at https://github.com/lulzbackup
I received a message from Lulzbot that they had layoffs but not that they are going out of business. What is the source of this news ?
Simo.

Apparently, it is not set in stone. I've just forwarded the message and backed up some code (better safe than sorry).

From 113 staff to 22 ... I hope they survive, my mini has been an excellent printer and so has been their support. Few printers are as good and easy to use *and* have all their design open.
Simo.
