Greetings;
I have misplaced file someplace in /home/gene.
its name is bpim5*shelf.scad
Assuming that you are searching in the current working directory:
find bpim* -print | grep 'shelf.scad'
That's not correct. The argument(s) that immediately follow find should
be the starting point(s) where it will begin its search. Normally these
would be directories, especially the "." directory, which is actually
the default in GNU find (but not a default in POSIX find).
This command would only work if the file Gene's looking for happens to
be in his home directory, *or*, if the file he's looking for happens to
be underneath a *directory* whose name matches the bpim* glob. This is
possible, but I wouldn't count on it.
Especially here. I resaved it, after a couple mods, in
3dp-stf/genes-nas. So searching thru all the children of "." should be
the expected behavious. But finding that fraudulent pile of 2T disks was
as bogus as a $3 bill, upsets my plans. The only usb-sata adapter I
trust is StarTech, and its cable is 3x longer than I need. This bogus
drive came sealed in a case that I had printed supports for that fit in
2 shelf spaces, leaving room in the bottom of the care for a psu. The
sata package is bigger but would take 3 spaces for 6 of them, exiling
the psu external to the cage. So this job now printing is 4 more
shelves, w/o the pi bolt pattern. 3dprinting is hard on memory, I've
12G of 3dp.stf now. Slicers and such are plain stupid, generating as
much as 2 gigabytes for one complex part that takes 3 days to run. I've
written 3 days jobs for a milling machine In 90 LOC because linuxcnc
understands loops, none of the slicers or machines do, so the file you
feed the printer is totally unrolled. And 10 to 30 times the size needed
if the part file was converted from additive to subtractive. It may get
there, but probably after I miss roll call.
Thanks Greg. Take care.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
