I've been using Ubuntu for about a month and am definitely a novice, apologies if this question is trivial.

I use a program called Slic3r to create gcode (machine instructions) from stl files for 3D printing. Slic3r is supported in linux, but exports gcode to a directory called:

home/artemis/.local/share/Repetierhost

I can't seem to locate this directory in linux like I could in Windows. "Artemis" is my username.

If someone could give me a hand locating the exported gcode and perhaps making a link to the directory where new gcode is exported that would be excellent.

Am definitely enjoying the Ubuntu experience thus far too.

In Linux, all files starting with a dot are hidden files.

If you want to show hidden files in a terminal, use ll instead of ls

If you want to show hidden files in your file manager press "View" and then "Hidden files" (Or press Ctrl+H)

Alternatively, you can create a shortcut to the "Repetierhost" directory by right-clicking it, clicking "make link" and then moving the "Link To Repetierhost" to your desktop...

Files an folders that has names starting with "." are hidden. They are normally not displayed. To see them there is a command in menu.
