Print a beautiful teapot board directly

grabcad

2021/10/30I have modified my 3d printer to be a 2D plotter. Print beautiful figures using EXCEL and Rose equation directly. Now I use a similar method to generate the g-Code file using EXCEL and equation and 3d printed. It is no need to use STL file and slice software anymore. The printed teapot board is very beautiful. And even you can transfer the g-Code file to the STL file again. But the generated STL file has a lot of faces that most slicing software can not correctly get the good g-Code file again. If someone finds the method please leave a comment. I appreciate you in advance.Of course, I finally find a way to change the figure to the STL file. But it takes me a very long time and the final STL file is not good enough. I prefer using the direct method.Hope it will give you some new ideas and you will like them. Please share it with your friends.
