I've been getting into the modern era and have a handful of Pi 4B's, I have an 8GB beast as my 'desktop' workhorse, which I was hoping to use for some basic CAD & modelling (in addition to the usual office productivity and a spot of oolite when I get an hour or two free). Another hosts my TronXY 3D printer and webcam for monitoring, I have yet another set aside as a media/storage/backup vault.
So, I got my 3D Printer host up & running with the Cura Experimental & Mesa combo, very nice; but when it came to running the same Cura Experimental appimage on the desktop replacement Pi, it was a no-go. I'm not an expert with *nix - but equally I'm not entirely a NOOB, having used and sys admin'ed quite a few *nix boxes over the years. I consider the command-line my natural environment 😉
Tonight I had another crack at getting the latest appimage up & running and lo and behold, the angels sang for me... Works great, runs smooth, screen refresh is way better than the all-in investment suggests it SHOULD be.
So, MANY MANY thanks for wrangling the magic-pixies for us all, is there any hope/expectation/time-line for a 64bit version in the near/mid-term future?

Hello chaps,

Virtual beverages to you sir 🙂
