Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to create my three shapes I first started to think about what shapes that would cause my printer head to move the most. I also wanted a way to compare how the gcode shapes would come out versus using a traditional slicer. So a star and a spiral I felt like would create the most movement and the result would be random until I start the print. Meaning even though Rhino would render how the model would come out I figured unexpected things will happen during the printing process where adjustments will be needed. My first model uses the requirements where once a star is printed during the next iteration it offsets the starting position at a new layer height. Also during printing of the star the print head increases in the z which affects how the filament is laid. During the entire process the print head is not near the print bed. The second image takes the same concepts of the first print but lets try to stack the star versus offsetting the position each iteration. The third print was for comparison to see if just by using gcode could I create a spiral and build it up layer by layer without it collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first two models could be not be printed a traditional slicer due to the fact on how the print head moves in the z axis and is constantly being moved up and down. Also there is a lot of overhang in the models since there are no supports the filament will not lay as expected. Also there is spacing in between each layer which also makes me feel like a slicer will try to fill in those gaps. The filament is also laid on top of other parts so traditional slicers will run over those lines. The third model could be printed by a traditional slicer, but I have some doubts due to the spacing within the spiral.

Design Process <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First I started creating the basic shapes and then added pitch, yaw, or roll to see how it affected the shape. Once I got the shape I liked, I started to print it to see if it was doable. At first I was having issues with adhesion so I had to go back and see what temperatures my printer was using for normals prints. After the adhesion problems were fixed I noticed with my models height started to become an issue so I had to limit the height of the models or else the filament wouldn’t lay as expected. If minor tweaks didn’t fix the issue then I would just scrap the model and try a new one. I also tried messing with the extruder width and rate but that would just make my models a mess and couldn’t see the shapes they were based on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
