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.

Property reference
|
Properties |
|
Bed Colour |
| Specifies the colour of the print bed. | |
|
|
Print Colour |
| Specifies the colour of the print output. | |
|
Print Speed (0-100) |
| Specifies the speed of the printer movements. 100 = as fast as possible. | |
|
Print Type |
| Specifies how the print is drawn. Object based - uses panel primitives to build up the 3D object, useful for simulated interaction e.g. the formula flowcode and the maze solving example. Point cloud based - uses the point cloud interface to allow complex objects to be built without slowing down the panel interface. | |
|
Print Size |
| Specifies the size of a single print object. | |
|
Print Shape |
| Specifies the shape of the print object. | |
|
Max Print Dimensions |
|
|
X Width |
| Printer dimensions X axis | |
|
|
Y Length |
| Printer dimensions Y axis | |
|
|
Z Height |
| Printer dimensions Z axis | |
