GCODE ⏐ PART 07 ⏐ Rhino and Grasshopper

Welcome back to Part 7! For this one, we are building a completely new pattern on top of our continuous spiral. Instead of a contuously paced toolpath, we are manipulating the G-code to physically halt the printer at specific coordinates within the spiral. By using intentional dwell commands, we let the nozzle pressure build up to create a highly controlled, structural "blob" or beaded texture. The stops add time to the print, specially if we increase the pattern density, however since we can print at a larger layer height we recoup print time and the look is definitely unique.

Just a quick heads-up on the hardware: I've tested it using a 0.8mm nozzle. I haven't had the chance to test it on a standard 0.4mm or 0.6mm yet. I plan on testing it on a 0.4 this week, when I do I will add an update below 👇

📰 Wrapping up Series 01 & The Vault We are close to wrapping up the first GCODE series and we will move into Series 02 very soon (during April). It's really incredible to see the designs that some of you are coming up with and it makes working on this already worth it for me.
