My latest exploration of Velocity Painting. This is an own-design vase printed in @Fillamentum1 Vertigo Grey and Crystal Clear Iceland Blue on my single extruder @Think3dPrint3d Kossel Mini.
Onto that I’ve ‘painted’ a harlequin pattern mapped in a cylinder around the Z axis. The print is spiral-printed with a single 0.8mm perimeter. First person to figure out how I got it to look quite so funky gets a thumbs-up
6mm/s slow and 24mm/s fast printing, about 18cm high, 220C, Simplify3D, two filament swaps, wobbly perl script.
I don’t get how you printed this with just two filament swaps. Oh… not only it’s printed standing under an angle, it’s also printed standing on its top, isn’t it? Amazing!
EDIT: nope, it wouldn’t work standing on its top, it’s more than 45 degrees…
@Petr_Stehlik It’s printed at a (fairly steep) angle. Here’s what the base looks like, and the facet that was on the print bed is the one that’s on the bottom in this image… missing/deleted image from Google+
Dude, you’re getting really good at this. Hard to believe it’s an FDM printer. We’re finally getting a leg up on all those fancy, high-end printers. Let’s see an SLA pull that off
Now the next step is automated color swap with that printable y Bowden feeder tube thingy (technical language, I know).
Or maybe a clever spiral case design for a tea light that is a vase within a vase, throwing shadows from the inner vase onto the inside of the outer vase
Or maybe a spinning cylinder lit from the inside with a strobed led that shows velocity painted frames of a running horse, or another looped animation, like the precursor to motion pictures. I forget what that is called
Btw, I know you are having to much fun doing it yourself, but what would it take to make it an app of a plugin? I think you would get tons more exposure if mere mortals could play and show off the results.

@Brook_Drumm Re. “the tip jar” I don’t feel comfortable taking peoples money with nothing tangible for me to give in return. I may put, say, this vase up on Etsy so people can buy a print if they wish – purchases would help fund the filament I’m burning (figuratively perhaps that would be appreciated? Don’t know – as ever I’m open to suggestions.
A kickstarted or go fund me for the amount needed to produce a stand alone app might be worth it. You would get paid for a clear deliverable and if you don’t want to maintain it, fine- open source it and walk away. Just a suggestion. If the interest isn’t there, you don’t lift a finger. It’s one painless way to test the market or interest. If none of that appeals, then develop on your own time and enjoy. I think the fans here are grateful no matter what. I don’t think it’s an on-going income stream or a business, it’s a project.
