fedora 3d printing?

[Tom Horsley]

What do folks use these days for 3d printing from fedora?
I can download RepetierHost and it seems to function (at least
it brings up a GUI screen, haven't tried a print yet).

Any better options out there?

(I notice the initial burst of enthusiasm seems to have died
down with no recent updates to any fedora 3d printing pages
I could find).

Although I'm still on F26...
I use FreeCad for design, and Cura for slicing.

I use Cura.  It works fine on Fedora.

I use Ultimaker  Cura. and Slic3r.
Cura has an AppImage that I just download, make executable and it works.
Usually I create an entry for it on my App Menu
Likewise with Slic3r

BTW, I just checked and it seems that the version on the Fedora
Repositories (updates) is up to date. Last tiem I checked they were a
little behind, so maybe your simplest path is to 'dnf install cura'
Likewise for Slic3r.

I may try to switch to cura, but it turns out that RepetierHost
(even though it isn't in the repos) still accepts the definition
of my old solidoodle2 printer laying around in the mono repos
all this time, so I was able to use RepetierHost right away,
and printed this masterpiece last night:
