3D printing with a patterned surface, using print speed (not temperature) to change the surface properties of the print. I’ve now tweaked the code to split GCODE vectors that cross a pattern boundary and the result looks great. Sub mm precision on the pattern, which surprises me. Cool.
15mm/s for the shiny surface, 35mm/s for the matte. 210C nozzle temperature, 0.2mm layers in spiral vase mode, 0.5mm perimeter. Sliced in Simplify3D and then passed through a rough ‘n’ ready perl script.
I’ll think about it – I’m not sure about releasing it into the wild in its current (shoddy) form, wondering whether I should give it a home on github or similar, what its licence should be (if any), etc., etc.
