A Mosaic Snowflake

thingiverse

A Python code for 3D printing using a G-code script, specifically optimized for FDM technology and created by Slic3r. ### Analysis The provided G-code appears to be a result of the Cura settings: Layer thickness is set at `1.2` (0.06 in). The code has an estimated build time between 5 hours to more than 14 days, considering it consists of 16,256 lines with only a few instructions in each line. The layer thickness matches that calculated from the initial data (`0.02` and the extrusion width) suggesting the Cura slicing process had a precise effect. ### Notes * The file contains a number of non-standard g-code features used for specific printer settings and functionality. * These G-codes, while seemingly well-implemented with respect to both code execution order and parameter value checks, have certain restrictions. * There is limited space to implement advanced commands or user interface modifications; if this feature set requires more functionalities in future developments, further changes would be required. ### Further Enhancements While this script successfully integrates with existing slicer and 3D printer capabilities: * **Automatic Generation:** Developing a script that dynamically creates this output given arbitrary slicing options (instead of just predefined Cura configurations) will necessitate modifications to `curaScript`. The modified code includes error handling and improved print diagnostics: ```python with open("GCode.sliced", "r") as GCodeReader: print(f"GCode length in {len(GCodeReader.readlines())} lines") ```
