Sequential printing
Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 1:14 pm
I apologize in advance if this is vague. This is a work project and I am not at liberty to discuss certain details.
I built a custom machine that has a degree of multifunctionality. It has a standard print head and an additional arbitrary tool. After each printed layer I want to generate an additional tool path that this second tool will follow.
The problem I am running into is that simplify wants to optimize each process. It wants to print 2 layers for tool 0 then 2 layers for tool 1. I want it to alternate between tools without optimization. I thought this is what "print layers sequentially without optimization" did. Any advice would be appreciated.
