Linux to 3D Printing and Back Again
Individual 3D printers. These include specific models like the Prusa i3 Mk3 and broader styles such as Kossel Minis.
While I don’t often write reviews of products these days I just purchased a Phrozen Sonic Mini. So I’d like to share setup details and my impressions of the printer with you.

The magic happens with a fairly ingenious filament selector module hanging out above the printer proper. And it works. The selector is adequate at selecting filaments and I’m not seeing…
