Opening Theme: How close are we to experiencing Deja Vu virtually?
As we get closer to creating more and more life like experiences in Virtual Reality, what does this do our ability to differentiate what is considered a “real” memory and one that is fabricated in a headset?

The Printwhisperer:
Multi color printing with a simple Cura hack!
Have you ever wanted to print something in 2 or more colors, but you only have a one nozzle setup? A simple hidden plugin called “Pause at height” can make multi color prints EASY.
(Cura Demo)
Remember you can’t print true multi color so orientation matters and this only works when the bottom layers are the ones you want to be a different color. It works really well with maps generated from Terrain STL where you want water or ocean to be blue and land to be another color. It also works well for nameplates where you want bridge features to be a background color and the top colors to be a foreground color.
