Visualize seam

Posted · Visualize seam

I made a perl script to visualize the seam. I am posting it here, just if someone else can find it useful. The script takes gcode as input and output new gcode. Load the new gcode in Cura - do not send this new gcode to your printer.

Old feature request:

https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/2287

Example output:

488007942_Screenshot2020-05-03at19_49_49.thumb.png.8edd65c48d922f521d4cd59b6807b4f9.png1870688545_Screenshot2020-05-03at19_48_13.thumb.png.98d4ef63f0d89f261d93db60dbdad148.png

Terminal usage example:

cat Vise_Handle.gcode|./visualizeSeam.pl>Vise_Handle_Seam.gcode

 

Script:

 

#!/usr/bin/perl

$inOuterWall = 0;
$isTraveling = 0;
$isFirstLine = 1;
while(<STDIN>)
{

  if(/^;TYPE:WALL-OUTER/){$inOuterWall = 1; $isFirstLine = 1; $_ = scalar <STDIN>;}     #Enter outer wall
  if(/^;TYPE:/ && !/^;TYPE:WALL-OUTER/){$inOuterWall = 0;}                              #Exit outer wall
  if(/^G0/){$isTraveling = 1;}                                                          #Traveling
  if(/^G1.*X/ && $inOuterWall && $isTraveling){$isTraveling = 0; $isFirstLine = 1;}     #New part of outer wall

  if($inOuterWall && $isFirstLine){
    print ";TYPE:SKIRT\n";
    print "G91\n";
    print "G0 X0.1 Y0.1\n";
    print "G1 X-0.2 Y0.0 E1\n";
    print "G1 X0.0 Y-0.2 E1\n";
    print "G1 X0.2 Y0.0 E1\n";
    print "G1 X0.0 Y0.2 E1\n";
    print "G90\n";
    print ";TYPE:WALL-OUTER\n";
    print $prevPrevLine;
    print $prevLine;
    print;
    $isFirstLine = 0;
  }
  else{print;}

  $prevPrevLine = $prevLine;
  $prevLine = $_;
}
