Using "portable" Blender
Just started the "Blender Python for Artists Part 1". I use Blender on Linux (currently Kubuntu distro) and like to maintain strict control over which version I am using. To do this I use a “portable” installation which sets up a separate copy of the blender software for development. This way I can explore changes and scripts without impacting my main Blender application.

Hi, I’m David from the UK. I am retired from a career in telecommunications and computing R&D in UK and Canadian technology companies. I have been building and using 3D printers since 2012 and started using Blender for object design a couple of years ago, mostly hard surface modeling. I am familiar with Python but not used it extensively relying on Fusion 360 and OpenSCAD in the past. I want to build knowledge and skills in developing Blender extensions/add-ons primarily for 3D Printing and see this community as a good starting point, a place to learn from other people's experiences and share what I can. I also hope to explore other creative uses of Blender, for example animation and architecture. For fun I play badminton, cook mostly chinese/asian and explore military history.
