NEXT 3D Printing on NixOS

I use openscad to make models and super slicer or cura to print them via OctoPrint attached to my printer:

nix:tangle ~/nix/hm/3d-printing.nix:noweb yes
{pkgs, ...}:

let mkNixGLWrapper = pkgs.lib.mkNixGLWrapper;
in 
{
  home.packages = [
    # (mkNixGLWrapper {name="cura";})
    # (mkNixGLWrapper {name="super-slicer-latest";})
    (mkNixGLWrapper {name="prusa-slicer";})
    (mkNixGLWrapper {name="openscad";})
  ];
}

Ender 5 Pro

it's good! I have it hooked up to OctoPi and it prints the things.

PrintrBot Simple Metal

I had this thing for a long time, it was my personal printer after running HeatSync's. I gave it to one of iliana's friends and bought my Ender 5 Pro.

My 3D Printer model. It's not supported any more, the company that made them folded in 2018 but appears to be back with new models.[fn:1]

Anyways, it works with Cura, I operate it through OctoPi which works so well in Cura with a plugin.

DONE re-enable cura after https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/172180
