I love this feature too - never having to worry about filament running out and using up the last bit of every spool is so handy.

Actually native encryption has been a feature of ZFS for a few years now. It's nice not having to have an extra LUKS layer.
XFS does not do snapshots, replicas, and all the other myriad of things that ZFS does.
ZFS for nearly everything plus ZFSBootMenu EFI on root data pools. Get a bad upgrade? No problem, boot a previous snapshot (auto created with a pacman hook), which I had to do recently when 6.6.39 LTS kernel had a bug. Snapshots are also great when doing things such as upgrading postgres, hass, Plex, etc.
Still waiting for 0.2.0 to hit the main fdroid repo, hopefully it's soon...
It's not as much as you might think, plus you have to purge to switch filaments with a single nozzle design. I would argue my Bambu saves filament on the balance because print failure is so low.
Simple - I don't worry about it at all, I just load up a second spool of compatible material and let the printer switch when the first spool runs out (X1C with AMS).
Interesting! I haven't had issues with ABS at stock temps in my X1C - 90C for the build plate - and I print a lot of large flat ish designs. I have had more trouble with PETG warping, and for HIPS I have to crank up the first layer to 110, then 100 for subsequent layers of it won't stick to the Engineering Plate with glue stick at all.
My chamber temps do tend to be a bit lower, since I have an exhaust fan hooked up the carbon filter fan output to vent outside since ABS and HIPS fumes are nasty.
But yes, I've found 10C or so can make a huge difference when things do go south, it just hasn't been an issue on my X1C for ABS, fortunately. Interesting to see how much a towel improves your chamber temps though!
Overall I love my X1C, one of the best decisions I made, don't miss my old kludgy FlashForge Creator Pro and all its quirks one bit.
This is why all Olympics - whether ceremonies or matches - get recorded on the DVR, so we can skip past all the nonsense.
Working around the topo naming problem isn't that big of a deal, for the most part, once you get the hang of it - often it's just a matter of reattaching sketches to the correct face, for example, and using parametric tables helps a lot as well.
To put it another way - I wouldn't avoid FreeCAD/Ondsel just because of this. And if it really, really is an issue, try a 0.22 dev build of FreeCAD for the interim.
I record everything on Plex off an antenna/hdhomerun and fast forward through all the cruft. We can watch about 3-4 hours of coverage each hour depending on the sport. There's no way I could watch it live. Plex will get a bit confused about whether or not an episode is new or not, so to prevent it missing anything I post process each file into a new library and fix up the episode name with a timestamp. This does result in some repeated recordings, but we just delete any matches we've already seen. Been doing it this way for the last few Olympics and it's manageable.
