Description of my process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design process started out simple and got more ambitious as things started to go more and more wrong. My first shape was the christmas tree, the shape started out as a death spiral turtle but I could never make him go back on the path after jetting out. So for all my artifacts I went to absolute position and had the turtle fill in the path between jumps. For the second  shape I wanted a complex curve based on a sine wave. This shape was tested about 15 times and utterly wrecked my 3d printer. For the last shape I wanted to make a hanging circle in the a circle, because I thought it would be cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation of why your shapes cannot be generated by a traditional slicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shape 1: It can not be made on the traditional slicer because it has floating filament and when I did try reversing the gcode to stl and back to gcode it added sports for all of the little branches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shape 2: Has a complex curve that can not print as smoothly as my g code printed and if the slicer tried to make it would have a stair stepping effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shape 3: has  a floating section and fly aways that I do not think the slicer can handle well or at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion of your iterative design process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large present of my time went towards hacking an old bambu labs gcode setup and tear down into a turtle code. This led to the top a 3 worst sounds of my life and burnt out my timing belts.  I forgot to turn on \u2018G91\u2019   and the negative numbers for hitting 0,0 slipping and grinding away at the timing belt that I over tighten on purpose to get nicer prints.Turns out this did not need the enders 3 gcode does work fine. The 2 fixes to the code needed where you can not end at 0,0 because that is a crash and schmear at the start of print needs to move a few units over or it will rip the front cooling fan off the printer and error out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the nice thing about my print is they would fail fast, so I don’t think they will fail in meanful print ruining day way. The worse issue I ran into was on the comprex curve, It turned my 3d printer into a \u201cshaper machine\u201d(*) for a few hours while I slept. It clogged the nozzle and scraped the top of the curve. I thought I took pictures of the before but I did a lot of clean up to show the shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also print time on the bambulabs is a comment in the gcode so the 3d printer can not calculate the print times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think print 3 was the most dense thing I have ever printed at 100% infill. I has a  density of  1 228.47934 kg\/m^3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
