Kiri:Moto 4.0 was released yesterday with native or local app bundles.
It saved me from not having any cam solution for my mill at all so I was really relieved back then when I could produce parts again <3.
I still prefer that to having everything hosted in the server, especially with my single user and single place usecase. There was a hosted version by the devs too and that worked well but good ol' local just feels safer.
It especially fits well for SolveSpace as I accepted that I always have to force bodys to triangle meshes. It´s fine as the project files can be used to make all the necessary changes. Not a problem if the CAD is open. The precision of the generated stls seems to be enough for all the parts I ´ve printed yet and is adjustable anyway.
I might try the fdm slicer soon as well out of curiosity.
The laser section seems to "only" handle single lines for cutouts without the ability to laser images with adjusted power yet.
(Just some random thoughts, most already know It I suppose)

After running into issues with this last year and giving up, I am super happy to report that I managed to get the 3D path #CAM functionality in @FreeCAD working. Debian packages are old (as usual) at 0.19 and never found the required library, AppImage of 0.21 gets mad at me if I select a tool (3mm end mill) from another folder and refuses to work afterwards, current dev from Github built from source works (after updating cmake). #cad #milling #cnc #cncmilling
