Hello there! It is not quite 3D printing, but I am using my 3d printer (Ecub maker Toydiy 4in1 with the laser head) and the Cura slicer for this project. So I am doing simple t-shirt designs and I want to screen print them for myself. I have managed to figure out myself, how I can just fill the design with dots and only cut those with the laser head from baking paper (pls see the attached pictures). Then I use it as a screen on a t-shirt, apply paint and it is done. I would like to bring this to a next level, and that's where I need help. I am looking for a method, where I can easily turn any pictures to screens with different sized holes or different density of holes. This way I could achieve different shades of the same colour within the design (by transferring different amounts of paint). (I could do basic screen printing by using 1 layer prints and a normal screen, but I like this laser stuff) Any ideas? Thanks
