The first shape I rendered with G-code was this really cool circular pattern below. I achieved it by simply adding a CircleDeviation() function to my turtle where it would draw a circle on each side of the polygon every layer. Although the shape seemed very nice, I figured it wasn\u2019t viable to print it since the turtle would just smash into the shape while printing since the paths of the circles intersect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the function that I added to my python code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My second stage was messing with my code and simply changing the size of the circles so they wouldn\u2019t intersect and the turtle could print freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture with the code with the new size<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, I made the variables input sliders so I could easily mess with my shape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step was adding an offset in the layers that would actually print the CircleDeviation() in order to create a cool spider web effect. I did that by using mod for assigning a bool when calling my polygon function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also made the value of whatever we were using mod for the layer gap with, an input slider. Which made it easier to experiment with different gaps for every n layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last change that I did was adding an input for decreasing the circle deviation size in order to create a tree\/pyramid effect for my shape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made it an input slider as well in order to mess with it easily:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the images of the result, which is the third and final shape I chose to print:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my first 3D print, my shape was smaller than I thought, which happened because I didn\u2019t think about the units properly when assigning the size variables to my code. The good thing is that it printed properly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second shape was the proper size, and it had a different layer gap, which made the circle deviations print in a different way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a failed attempt where the shape was too big<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The third print was the pyramidal one, it had a different layer gap and it decreased the size of the circles with each iteration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
