  • Agreed, I run arch on my desktop and laptop, because it is more stable (in the sense of fewer bugs, things like suspend/resume works reliably for example) than any other distro I have used.

    But on my VPS and my Pi I run Debian because it is more stable (in the sense of fewer upgrades that could break things). I can enable unattended upgrades there, which I would never do on my Arch system (though it is incredibly rare for those to break).

    Also: if someone said they were a (self proclaimed) “semi noob” I would not recommend Arch. I have used Linux since 2002, and as my main OS since 2006. (Furthermore I’m a software developer in C/C++/Rust.) While Arch is a great distro, don’t start with Arch.






  • Thanks, didn’t think about that. Two reasons I can think of:

    • Vase mode should reduce stringing on TPU as it avoids retractions. Though I have found that just drying TPU + enabling “avoid crossing perimeters” usually hides most stringing.
    • Additionally, it would let you have more precise control over how squishy/firm the TPU part is by adjusting the number of perimeters. Though you can use modifier volumes in the slicer to adjust infill and number of perimeters locally in a part.

    Is there any other reason why this is good for TPU that I missed?
