Ahoy. I use Octoprint to control my printer via LAN/WAN. Octoprint has an API that makes it easy to transfer data to the printer and control the printer. It would be nice if there was generic way to interact with APIs like this within S3D, instead of having to save a g-code file and then drag into m...

So I went back, and bumped the nozzle into the skull by adding 1mm to the y offset: Screen Shot 2015-02-14 at 8.19.22 AM.png I think this worked. Now when you preview the g-code, it looks like they will probably adhere pretty well: Screen Shot 2015-02-14 at 8.21.46 AM.png Screen Shot 2015-02-14 at 8...

So in the process of making this tutorial, I must have done something differently. But it worked! It took about 45 seconds from when I clicked until the g-code preview was available: Screen Shot 2015-02-14 at 8.16.05 AM.png However, the nozzle and the skull don't appear to be contiguous: Screen Shot...

After importing and aligning the skull as two separate meshes (one for the skull, one for the shower nozzle) I have to define the processes. I will define one process for the skull and one for the shower nozzle. The only difference between the two processes will be infill density, and they will be a...

I just had time to think about this again.... 1) Splitting the Mesh I found that the easiest way for me to split the mesh was in FreeCAD. I could look down on the model in the x-y plane and draw the profile I wanted to cut, rather than having to make multiple plane cuts. This produced two parts that...

I will have to try that... I guess I will use netfabb Basic to cut up the model, unless anybody has any easier, free suggestions. I'll post my results when completed.

Has anyone come up with a way to adjust infill density for a specific region within a model, not just for specific layers? A good example would be the T-Rex shower head. I would like to print the nozzle itself at a high infill, and keep the rest low to save time/material. In this case, I would want ...
