[Toolpath precision / accuracy of gcode-output]

(downsampling doesn t do the best / entire job)

why:

 

Dear gr5

- thanks for your fast reply - but downsampling the input mesh-data will not do the optimum reduction.

if the triangles or quads of the initial mesh are sliced close to vertices - the slicing result will have very short segments - nearly identical points.

the offset of this polyline then might even have smaller segments.

i am searching to filter those points / segments with a certain tolerance / deviation (for me 0.1 to 0.5mm would be great).

thanks again

best

[Toolpath precision / accuracy of gcode-output]

Dear Everybody

I am working with a very rough ceramics extruder - 6mm nozzle size, quite big objects. (up to 1x1x1 m)

Is there any possibility to set precision / roughness of cura s g-code output ?

 

i would love to have / or search something like a

• "minimum gcode step length" setting.
• "maximum toolpath deviation" setting

i would love to have smaller file sizes, less lines of gcode, bigger steps / distances between each G01 position.

 

( I know i can downsample the input .stl, but still cura will perform offset calculation for each slice / layer. )

 

Or is there any filter / plug-in that allows to access the geometrie data before g-code is generated / exported ?

 

thanks for your support.
