Examples

3D Print Using Standard 3D Printer CAD file

A simulated 3D print using an external G code file from an actual 3D printer. The G code file must be placed into the same directory as the Flowcode project to work correctly. G-Code_Parser File:Batman.G

3D Maze Generator

A simple 3D maze generator using the 3D printer component to draw the maze. Maze_Builder_3DP
