This looks great. Can someone explain the implications of manipulating gcode directly?
I like the convenience that OpenScad and the slicer take care of translating my shape into instructions for the printer.
With FullControl, will I still be able to describe a shape and it gets done, or do I have to think in printer movements rather than 3d forms?
- efnx 3y agoSounds like you need to think in printer movements. And you have to use excel and Visual Basic to input them.
- ZiiS 3y agoThey are focusing on Python now.
- ZiiS 3y agoYes this is for when you want to think in movements. When slicing a 3d shape the are multiple different ways the head can move to create the same shape. Slicers account for some of these with features like 'Spiral Vase' where instead of having a stack of horizontal circles you can instead continuously spiral the extrude up the vase. FullControl lets you have even more control.
