Has anyone tried pushing a STL/OpenScad file/g-code/or any 3d model into a QR code.

I know it seems silly and wonky and useless, but conceptually i think it is sound. My thoughts are that you could hand out models and scan then print them. (current QR max size is ~3 kB).

I can think of no real practical use for such a thing. (maybe AR/3D printing combo) but it just an idea i thought i would toss out there.

(i am not sure it exists yet but reserving the IP for the community if it doesn’t) Using QR, NFC, RFID, Wireless SD, or other area of printer wireless data storage and/or transfer technique to physically exchange single and/or batches of print file/files. These files could be used to setup prints at the 3d printer and/or visualize them using Augmented reality. Applications include: selling a physical model to be placed on near or in the printer and printed out later, using this data storage and transfer technique to visualize 3d prints in location before starting a print. Using this technique to quickly and easily start prints on various printer. Using the describe technique to secure and distribute print files.

You could do this for URLs of a 3D printed object, but not really for 3D printed objects themselves.

I’m on it

I really don’t think it will be useful, but you never know…

G Code it work on shell of the object, it could be reverse to cam system

The ~2900 byte number for version 40 codes is referring to something you would put in a flatbed scanner - it wouldn’t work with a camera phone in any situation, and it certainly wouldn’t do on the fly scanning at an angle for VR applications.

I am not saying it is practical or better. I am saying it is possible. You would scan at one angle and track from there.

Did it. It works. Its part of self replication logic.
