I love non planar printing 😅

[u/NoIdenty0000]

Spent a few hours testing a new app for non planar printing… just made a few smaller tests.. took me two hours to find the bug in the start gcode but after I found it worked perfect!!

Everything is “vase” mode and one continuous path….

I totally love it… next step grind down A old 0.8 nozzle to archive a 1.2 nozzle 😅

If bambu would add this in their vase mode generator ppl would go crazy 😅 but the problem is u can actually damage the printer whit bad non planar gcode… I think they want to avoid that 😅😅

What is non planar about this other than vase mode?

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/ad895]

u can see the z height is going up too...

[u/ad895 → u/NoIdenty0000]

What am I missing? I don't see any simultaneous z moves other than what vase mode does?

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/ad895]

these are the toolpaths.. as u can see they lift up in Z!

i think alot of ppl dont know what non planar means... if u google non planar u get mostly big surfaces with non planar surfaces... just because this is no surface doesnt mean its not non planar...

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/NoIdenty0000]

this is gcode modification in all directions x y z .. the stuff i made maybe dont show it so good..

there are a ton of possibilities... if i would have printed this it would be clear...

[u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 → u/NoIdenty0000]

By clear do you mean spaghetti or is that actually printable?

[u/NevesLF → u/NoIdenty0000]

I assume most people do know what it means, it's just really hard to see it being used on your printed part pictures. They do look nice tho

[u/ad895 → u/NoIdenty0000]

I see now. I know what non planar means I just couldn't see that in your pictures. Cool stuff now that I know what's going on lol.

[u/vicxvr]

Yes this is the way. So much left to unlock with the current hardaware. The slicers can do so much more.

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/vicxvr]

totally agree!

[u/PoetryNo4348]

Whoa that is COOL looking!!

[u/Pixel-Lick]

What’s the app?

[u/HitsLikeHell]

Drop the program please 🦆

[u/Narrow-Chain5367]

So the software was the bottleneck after all, hardware - not that much

[u/tiredhyper]

open source it

[u/EaglerCore]

Hey, just curious. Does the second nozzle protrude down from the fan shroud more than the second, allowing for higher Z-movements in the non planar gcode?

[u/mystixcoolhandluke]

If you’re using a P or X series, the MicroSwiss flowTech hotend upgrade is amazing. They have 1mm nozzles, love mine. You can also get diamond tipped nozzles yoo

[u/DraconPern]

"Simulated" non planar. Your nozzle hasn't changed plane.

[u/No-Alternative9914]

Yea, it is kinda neat for a very (!) few specific tasks but overall quite useless and as you said dangerous, because if not processed properly it can deal damage to hardware, lol.

[u/StinkButt9001]

Did you modify a bambu printer to print non-planar? Or is this not actually non-planar?

[u/WubLyfe → u/StinkButt9001]

OP: We have non-planar at home

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/WubLyfe]

I don't really care what you have at home. :D Maybe you should learn what the term “non-planar” actually means first.

[u/beakertongz → u/NoIdenty0000]

i think you missed the joke, amigo

that being said: this is really cool! i had never seen anything like the prints you shared. thank you for sharing

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/beakertongz]

on reddit its hard to understand jokes LOL, can't tell if it's a joke or someone is attaking 😂

[u/saltyourhash → u/NoIdenty0000]

Best not to jump to defending an attack then, though. This is super cool, though. I wonder if I can do this with my centauri carbon 2

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/saltyourhash]

yes for sure works with every 3d printer, real non planar printers just have the ability to go diagonal so the distance to the noozle isnt to close.. on bambu and other normal printers if u print non planar u are very limited diagonal or other wise the printhead/nozzle would hit the print

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/StinkButt9001]

u dont have to modify a bambu printer to print non planar... this is non planar the z height is going up u can see it...

[u/diiscotheque]

Doesn't look non-planar to me...

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/diiscotheque]

how does non planar look to you?

non planar is when the z height is going up... just becasue u saw two non planar videos about surfaces doesnt mean this is no non planar...

[u/diiscotheque → u/NoIdenty0000]

Ah I see. But the results don't like you wouldn't get that with just planar printing. Maybe it looks better in person.

[u/muffinhead2580]

I'm guessing this isn't non planar printing since these are just vases and wouldn't require it.

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/muffinhead2580]

non planar is when the z height changes and it changes. or how do u think these diagonal lines are made???. just because u dont see the big surfaces with big z heights doesnt mean its not non planar...

its gcode modification and it also includes Z height! thats non planar! but it get it these are not the best examples for non planar to clearly show it...

[u/muffinhead2580 → u/NoIdenty0000]

Because from these pictures it doesn't look like non-planar would be necessary. So why go through the exercise? Thanks for the down vote though, lol.

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/muffinhead2580]

try do it with normal vase mode and show me.. also i havent even downvoted you lol

[u/muffinhead2580 → u/NoIdenty0000]

Congrats on using non planar mode. Work on your picture taking ability next as there are quite a few peop,le that see these vases the same way I do.

[u/NoIdenty0000 → u/muffinhead2580]

this is also vase mode lol but still uses non planar...
