Another #3dprinting question - if I have a #BambuLab #3Dprinter, is using the #BambuStudio app the way to go for printing, or is there an alternative, better app I could use?
BambuStudio is nice in the sense that not only is it on #Linux, but it's also avai as a #Flatpak which makes installing it easy, but idk... I've only started printing stuffs yest but so far, doesn't seem like that app is as intuitive as I'd want it to be. Things seem a lil messy and not quite what I imagined or like (I think) I've seen used by others on YT videos where you could see a preview of the model you're printing in 3D where you could adjust its angle and wtnot before sending it to print.
Any suggestions/pointers?

Update: OH, maybe I am supposed to be getting a 3D preview of what I'm printing, I just don't (on BambuStudio) cos it's an issue on Linux perhaps specifically for #NVIDIA GPU users.

Update 2: Workaround to the missing preview issue. Include each of the following env variables to the app, using #Flatseal if you're using the Flatpak:
__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/GL/default/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1
WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
