Honestly, I just keep changing all sorts of bridge related and unrelated settings until it does what I want. Maybe the piece lends itself to being printed on the head or on it's edge (45° tilt) like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/mhcvut/pro_tip_if_youve_got_a_complex_part_youd_like_to/

Sometimes even layer height can affect bridge behaviour.

But first thing I'd do is to rotate the piece by 90° on the bed and see if the thin bridges that you can see behind the thick curved ones, change their orientation to be short instead of long.

And then try to figure out what makes those thick curved bridges happen.

It would help if you showed how it looks in the slicer.

But from the photo it looks like it made the bridge in a circular way instead of in parallel lines. If you can make the bridging go strictly in parallel lines from top to bottom, it should turn out better.

or something like nanokvm

dnf install stands for Does Not Fucking install

Aaah thanks for explaining, I didn't even know that was a thing, cause I never did any tutorials, I just started rawdogging it at some point when I needed to do a project.

I do mostly functional designs and I agree that Blender is not the best for it tbh. it can be fiddly and unintuitive. I guess I just know my way around it rather well by now.

There is this plugin that can make it more interesting for people that come fom the CAD workflow: https://www.cadsketcher.com/ (but you won't be making realistic doughnuts with it either)

You mean this:

Or like a realistic looking food doughnut?

I'll probably get downvoted to hell for what I say but anyway:

1. I use blender for all my 3d print designs (I find freecad extremely unwieldy)
2. If you need something custom, just write me a pm, I'll do it for about 5$ per hour. You'll get an orcaslicer 3mf, an stl and a blend file.

the only poiny I am arguing for is:

if somebody is looking for a solution that is effectively equivalent to a proxy, they can enter into the search engine either "vpn" or "proxy" and they will find more results that will work for their usecase that way.

While you are getting hung up on semantics that I technically agree on, but I find meaningless in the real world usecase of looking for a solution that effectively works like a proxy.

If you have one of those cars that can be used as a boat. And you only ever use it in water and never on land, it doesn't really make sense to me to exclusively call it a car. Even though it factually is one, it acts as a boat. At least call it carboat.

If I have a VPN, but it's sole purpose is to take all the traffic that knocks on it's network-adapter and shove it down a dev/tun and vice verca, why can we not say (with the goal of clear communication and precise descriptions) that it effectively acts as a proxy ?

Hell the ability to access the internet via the tunnel, called Split Tunneling, is also controllable.

It’s that ability to control where the tunnel terminates that allows consumer VPNs, like Proton, to be used the way they are.

you can do the same split tunneling via proxy servers

while private individuals absolutely do use VPNs as an ersatz replacement for Proxy Servers they are nowhere near the whole use case for VPN

I agree. That also means that for certain usecases they are equivalent. It's sometimes worth checking all options to find the best one for that specific case.

You're correct.

Most people only search for "VPN" because thats the term that got marketed for decades.

But the problem can be solved by using a proxy as well.

The intent of my comment was just to point to a second term - "proxy" - that can be used to find more valid, alternative solutions to the problem of making your homelab hosted services publicly available. And I think you agree with me, that proxy is the term closer to the usecase, even though we both correctly state that a VPN can be used as a proxy.

To make a bad analogy (it's the first thing that came to mind): It's like people buying a wok, even though they really just need a pan. And so they only search for wok, because every company says wok all the time, even though they will never use the wok as a wok, but just as a normal pan.

Even by your definition that should be a VPN, right?

... in my case, I have a homelab, a VPS and a user of a service that runs on my homelab. The VPS is just a proxy for the homelab. The user (client) talks to the homelab (server), through the VPS (proxy) so not, not really a VPN, even if I'd set up openVPN between VPS and homelab. They are not two clients.

It's pretty neat and I feel like there is a clear value exchange for both parties in the free tier, so less shady than cloudflare.
