What's the easiest way to make inserts to keep my handhelds tidy in my drawer?

I have a Steam Deck, Switch lite with grip, Anbernic 351v, and Gameboy advance (The non clamshell one) that I want to store in my drawer, but also want to keep them tidy, well displayed, and unharmed at the same time.

I was thinking to 3d print insterts/molds of the consoles that I can just slip them in and out of, and was wondering what the easiest way to accomplish that would be.

Also, I tried to upload pictures but kept getting an error.

Unflag a drive in KDE partition manager

I created a second partition on my main drove to install steam games, that way they persist in case I want to reinstall Linux or access from a portable windows install, but wanted it to mount on boot.

In partition manager, for some dumb reason, I presumed that flagging it as 'boot' would mean just that.

Obviously this was wrong, and now I can't unflag the drive for some reason. It says it applies the changes but just leaves it flagged.

Any way to turn off the Palm/Touch Rejection on a Samsung tablet while using the S-pen?

This is probably a wildly niche situation, but I learned about OSU!droid and was interested in trying it with my galaxy tab s6 lite, figuring the s pen would be a pretty perfect way to play.

The only problem is that the main way to hit bursts and streams is to aim at the objects with one hand and tap the side of the screen with your offhand, but the s pen disables touch input while close to the screen.

I did try just connecting my keyboard with a dongle and setting up a key map, but the game doesn't let you launch with it enabled for competitive reasons.

Does FreeCAD support 3D scans with color?

I am trying to design a simple case for a laptop motherboard, and thought to get around the distortion happening with my pictures by taking a 3d scan of it with Kiri Engine.

Everything looks fine in the preview of it and everything, but when I import the OBJ into FreeCAD it is just grey and I can't distinguish the mounting holes from the rest of the board.

Thanks in advance

Help designing a button?

Hello!

So I decided, as a way to improve my cad skills, that I would take an old laptop of mine and design a case around the motherboard and use it as a micro PC in my work area. I have nearly all of it designed, just shy of the power button.

On account of not having a sautering iron, I would rather avoid sautering a button on and was trying to go a more analogue approach by printing a button into the case that could maybe use a compliant mechanism to press in and come back out, but I am very uncertain how to go about it.

Any help appreciated

Is this a thing in any slicers?

I started a print today as per usual and I randomly thought of something and am uncertain if it may already be a thing.

Independent perimeter layer height. Or basically, you take the set layer height, say 0.3, divide it by a user selected amount, in this case by two, and print some number of the outermost perimeters at that height until it reaches the set layer height. In this example it would print two outer perimeters at 0.15 layer height in two layers, and then proceed with the rest of the layer.

I thought this may be what variable layer height does, but it seems to vary the height of the whole layer in different regions. If there is anything like this that would be neat
