Velocity Painting

This is “Lisa” the printable skull from macouno on Thingiverse: Lisa the printable skull by macouno - Thingiverse onto which I’ve mapped a slightly tweaked Hilbert space-filling curve using Velocity Painting.

This one is mapped using a spherical mapping to get from 3D coordinates to the 2D image coordinates.

@Faberdashery_Ltd Orange Fizz PLA printed hot (230C) at 13mm/s slow and 40mm/s fast on a single extruder @Think3dPrint3d Kossel Mini with a 0.4mm nozzle – the effect is caused by altering the print speed and that’s done by post-processing the GCODE using a perl script I’ve developed.

The script is available on Github: Home · MarkWheadon/velocity-painting Wiki · GitHub although you’ll need a programming background to use it I’m afraid.

Inspired by @dizingof 's creations. #3Dprinting #VelocityPainting

good 3d job

So velocity painting works with solid objects too? Not just single wall vases?

@Geoffrey_Forest Yes, that’s right – the patterning goes though the print, infill ‘n’ all. The effect is far more pronounced with translucent filament, but is still there (as a bump texture) with opaques. Here’s Adalinda the dragon given the same treatment with the same Orange Fizz PLA:
