  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;At my nearby maker space,
  15 &lt;a href=&quot;http://sonen.ifi.uio.no/&quot;&gt;Sonen&lt;/a&gt;, I heard the story that it
  16 was easier to generate gcode files for theyr 3D printers (Ultimake 2+)
  17 on Windows and MacOS X than Linux, because the software involved had
  18 to be manually compiled and set up on Linux while premade packages
  19 worked out of the box on Windows and MacOS X.  I found this annoying,
  20 as the software involved,
  21 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura&quot;&gt;Cura&lt;/a&gt;, is free software
  22 and should be trivial to get up and running on Linux if someone took
  23 the time to package it for the relevant distributions.  I even found
  24 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/706656&quot;&gt;a request for adding into
  25 Debian&lt;/a&gt; from 2013, which had seem some activity over the years but
  26 never resulted in the software showing up in Debian.  So a few days
  27 ago I offered my help to try to improve the situation.&lt;/p&gt;
  28
  29 &lt;p&gt;Now I am very happy to see that all the packages required by a
  30 working Cura in Debian are uploaded into Debian and waiting in the NEW
  31 queue for the ftpmasters to have a look.  You can track the progress
  32 on
  33 &lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=3dprinter-general%40lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;the
  34 status page for the 3D printer team&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  35
  36 &lt;p&gt;The uploaded packages are a bit behind upstream, and was uploaded
  37 now to get slots in &lt;a href=&quot;https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html&quot;&gt;the NEW
  38 queue&lt;/a&gt; while we work up updating the packages to the latest
  39 upstream version.&lt;/p&gt;
  40
  41 &lt;p&gt;On a related note, two competitors for Cura, which I found harder
  42 to use and was unable to configure correctly for Ultimaker 2+ in the
  43 short time I spent on it, are already in Debian.  If you are looking
  44 for 3D printer &quot;slicers&quot; and want something already available in
  45 Debian, check out
  46 &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r&quot;&gt;slic3r&lt;/a&gt; and
  47 &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r-prusa&quot;&gt;slic3r-prusa&lt;/a&gt;.
  48 The latter is a fork of the former.&lt;/p&gt;

  57                 <description>Når jeg holder på med ulike prosjekter, så trenger jeg stadig ulike
  58 skruer.  Det siste prosjektet jeg holder på med er å lage
  59 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:676916&quot;&gt;en boks til en
  60 HDMI-touch-skjerm&lt;/a&gt; som skal brukes med Raspberry Pi.  Boksen settes
  61 sammen med skruer og bolter, og jeg har vært i tvil om hvor jeg kan
  62 få tak i de riktige skruene.  Clas Ohlson og Jernia i nærheten har
  63 sjelden hatt det jeg trenger.  Men her om dagen fikk jeg et fantastisk
  64 tips for oss som bor i Oslo.
  65 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zachskruer.no/&quot;&gt;Zachariassen Jernvare AS&lt;/a&gt; i
  66 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=59.93421&amp;mlon=10.76795#map=19/59.93421/10.76795&quot;&gt;Hegermannsgate
  67 23A på Torshov&lt;/a&gt; har et fantastisk utvalg, og åpent mellom 09:00 og
  68 17:00.  De selger skruer, muttere, bolter, skiver etc i løs vekt, og
  69 så langt har jeg fått alt jeg har lett etter.  De har i tillegg det
  70 meste av annen jernvare, som verktøy, lamper, ledninger, etc.  Jeg
  71 håper de har nok kunder til å holde det gående lenge, da dette er en
  72 butikk jeg kommer til å besøke ofte.  Butikken er et funn å ha i
  73 nabolaget for oss som liker å bygge litt selv. :)&lt;/p&gt;
