    2D-3D tool

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    Not sure if right place, but:

    I used to have different ways to take a JPG/PNG and get it to STL to print it depending on the setting. Sometimes CURA does a good job, some lithography stuff is nice in those customizable thingiverse things. For simple shapes I trace it in Solidworks, others I redesign in OpenScad.

    However, this tool seems to perform quite well for shapes, logo's etc.

    It has great smoothing/vectorlike effects on contours. That is something that Cura seems to mess up completely.

    Any thoughts?

    Erg gedurfd om dat te claimen zeg. Er zijn ook bedrijven die misschien nog wel mooier printen dan mensen met die badge, maar waar die badge niet belangrijk voor is. Dat terzijde klinkt dit als een nog afzetterige variant van 3Dhubs, waar je ook nog eens een keer niet zelf het heft in handen hebt.

    As 3D printer owners we clearly are opposed to this, with our OpenSource ideology and all.

    Though designers may at some point start to think differently. I don't see the harm in looking what people come up with as solutions to keeping things closed source. Just being curious :p

    I mean if you manage to do it, and do it well, with designers and printer owners both happy, you can make serious money ;)

    Then one other thing we need to look out for is the height calibration of the two nozzles. Wonder if an "autolevel" with each " revolving" head could be a solution.

    Also, about the holding and oozing. If you were to create a nozzle block/shield that keeps it from oozing, not only will your print bed not be a mess, you'd still have plastic in the nozzle when you resume printing with it, and you can leave it hot! :D

    This also raises the question again. Is the design IP, or are prints of the design also IP.

    I believe you mentioned, buy once, print as many as you want? What if I print one for friends to giveaway? Or print them to sell?

    Right now with the OS NC licenses it's already tough to know whether you can sell a print(your customer also owns the model, and thus he pays you for the equipment, material, time and expertise, not for the model). I wonder how that would be if you payed for the model. Then your customer should also buy the model.

    Jammer dat de treinen moeilijk deden en ik de praatjes heb gemist, en vooral jammer dat er geen tumbler was, daar was ik stiekem voor gekomen. Wel met wat mensen gepraat en het werd toch wel vaak genoemd dat je er gewoon zelf een moet klussen.

    @Sander Is het anders idee om een topic te openen in het collaborations deel, om te kijken of we een #UMTumbler kunnen maken?

    Wow, quite a big announcement. It's a shame that getting it to work is so hard. I hope you guys have ideas on how to do it in UM3 and ofcourse the kit for UMO(+). Regardless, the decision to ship nozzles and PTFE with UM2's is wise, but what about UMO(+)?

    Also I really like the stories! And I hope to keep seeing cool Ulti-evenings with the crew.
