Printing in 3 dimensions, finally...
youmagine
First of all, thanks to Erik, Jelle, Hendrik, and Jeremie. Without their help, this never would have happened. HISTORY: I used Erik's script to post-process G-code with my very limited knowledge of PHP, modified it to suit my needs. But Cura has a fantastic feature called plugins, so if I could create a Python script, I could also insert it into Cura. USAGE: Place the skew and wave script in the Cura plugin folder. Start Cura, then you'll see the plugins with several options. You can run the script on its own from the command line using the available options. Important notice: The STL file of the cup has a low resolution, which means it doesn't have many points. To ensure there are enough points, change the value in dimension.py (hidden somewhere within the skeinforge/Cura folder system) to '1' or any other desired value. This will chop G-code longer than 1mm. CAUTION: I'm not a programmer...!!! If you're one, please review the script and make it better!! UPDATE: I created a movie; see also: www.rooiejoris.nl and facebook.com/europerminutedesign
