Non Planar 3D Printing
-
Hey Everyone,
I have been doing a bit of reading on Non Planar 3D Printing and thought it would be fun to give it a crack. Currently it is only a Linux based version of Slic3r that has the functionality so I followed some instructions of how to set up and build the Linux version in Windows 10 built in Linux Environment and quickly set up the slicer. I don’t have a profile for Slic3r as I usually use cura so there is a wee bit of tuning to do. I am very impressed with the outcome. Here is video
Even with the air pump part cooling I still had issues with it almost hitting the part so I turned it away.

there was a discussion about this already. see https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/11707/non-planar-layers

@Veti I saw that. This is more that I gave it a go and it is pretty cool to see it working

@samlogan87 Thanks for sharing this Sam. This is something else to add to my growing list of things to try. Like you, I saw the other thread, but unlike you, I haven't yet done anything about it.

Here is the link to the instructions that I used

@samlogan87 Cheers. I've actually got an old laptop that I've recently put Manjaro Linux on, so that might be a better route for me. But aside from installing Manjaro, that's as far as I've got - I know absolutely nothing about Linux so that's another littler winter project.

Yeah once you set it up it is pretty easy. You just need to measure the clearance height and angle. It is really cool to watch it go. If I was to do it more often, it is pretty limited as to what you can print unless you have that clearance. Still cool anyway
