Color me impressed!!!

So how did I do this?

Well, as you saw in the videos, not all circular mocements were converted, and without this technique, none of them are. Why is that?

Well, the #Slicers we use like #Cura #PrusaSlicer and #Superslicer need to "slice" or models. This converts the 3D model from its original format to the tool paths of the printer.

These software are insanely complex, and they dont recognize circles easily. They basically just find the shortest straight path with the least amount of deviation from the original curve.

Some slicers do use arc movements, but it is better to do it in post-processing.

Post-processing is when a sliced #Gcode file is processed further after it was created.

The tool I use for this is #ArcWelder. You can either download and use a #Python script or use an #Octoprint plugin to do it automatically for you.

Si vous êtes vieux/vieilles en #impression3d vous connaissez #simplify3D
Ce #slicer avait disparu de la surface du globe puis bientôt 3 ans avec ses promesses de mise à jour jamais tenu de la V 4.1.1 à la V 5
Pour rappel, la licence coutait 149€ (à vie !! si mes neurones ne me jouent pas des tours).
Depuis les #Slicers comme #Cura, #PrusaSlicer, #SuperSlicer ou #IdeaMaker se sont fait une place et ont fait évoluer l'#impression3D

Et bien voila la V5 de #Simplify3D et elle est re-payante 🤮
