Part coordinate system transformations?

Posted · Part coordinate system transformations?

Hello All,

 

I am currently working on a post-processing script to incorporate FEA results into G-Code generated by Cura, similar to this video. I've gotten nearly everything working except for mapping FEA data aligned to the STL file's coordinate system to G-Code aligned to the printer's coordinate system, which includes rotations, translations, etc. As far as I have seen so far, my only options would be to manually transcribe the transformations done for every part into the program; doable, but very cumbersome. Does anyone  know of a way to either add that data to the G-Code output or extract the transformation data from, say, a *.3mf project file? I know that it is possible to add parameters to the G-Code output, though I couldn't find any that would do what I want.

 

For reference, I'm currently using Cura version 4.6.1 and have attached a sample STL along with a corresponding G-Code and project file.

 

Thanks!

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
