This was my first concern as well… Although I suppose you could do some test prints to collect values to change the simulation.

If I were printing something really big, I’d probably run a sim first even if it were inaccurate, just to see if there is an obvious problem.

I’m not sure this would help new people much though, since you’d have to be very familiar with your printer/printing to use a simulation anyway.

I recommend using a kernel virtual machine.

KVM comes with the Linux kernel.

If you want to set it up manually, you’ll have to look into qemu and virtio.

If you want a more virtualbox-like experience, you can use boxes (also called “gnome boxes”), which gives you a very simple UI for setting up VMs (including windows) with networking/shared drives/hardware pass through/etc.

Distrobox is just a set of shell scripts that controlls Podman under the hood. Not only is it like docker, it literally uses the same container format (ContainerD).

I think normally you’d loop it into the ejection port and out the magazine well, but that sort of lock is a poor security device for a firearm anyway

I think this is pretty close
