Wood filament grain app

thingiverse

This posting includes a 3dowl.stl file created by satoshi, as Thingiverse demands the inclusion of at least one set file type since its August 2019 update. The original poster has experimented with wood filament from Formfutura and used Mooncactus's python script to convert gcode into woodgrain simulation. However, the resultant file wasn't accepted in Makerware, leading them to create a VB script under MS Word that inserts variable temperature settings in gcode files. The difference can be seen in two owls made by Satoshi. In August 2019, osterac updated an Excel file to work with Cura, which refreshes the usefulness of the original script. The code was initially created for Makerbot's gcode generated by Replicator G years ago and now, it is recommended to try osterac's version first, marked as _V2. To use the original script, generate a gcode file in Makerware, put it together with 'temp-vals.txt' file and open 'woodgrain.docm'. The VB script adds wood grain effect to the gcode file, which can be printed using Makerware after saving it as '*grain.gcode'.
