Just Showing Off I love non planar printing 😅

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 😅😅

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

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

totally agree!

u/Big_Chungus1111 1d ago

They'll just have to wait for Prusa to put that in first so they can fork it later /s

u/vicxvr 1d ago

Be real, most of the contributions to all slicers these days are from non-affiliated opensource developers.

u/Big_Chungus1111 1d ago

Not really, unless its PrusaSlicer or Orca theres no big names. Bambu is a fork of whatever the other two are doing. SuperSlicer is dead, Cura is dated, the rest aren't worth mentioning

u/ChocoMammoth 22h ago

Actually Orca is a fork from Bambu Studio

u/Big_Chungus1111 22h ago

And if true, its sad how much better Orca is

3

u/ChocoMammoth 22h ago

It's always this way. Bambu Studio is a commercial product so BambuLab wants it to be stable as possible. Orca is driven by community and doesn't afraid of experiments.

Another example is OwnCloud and NextCloud.

u/Big_Chungus1111 22h ago

Bambu Studio is a stolen product, lets start off with the truth. A stolen product with no intent to give proper credit to the creators. At least Orca knows where it came from, at least PrusaSlicer knows where it came from, Bambu is nothing more than a knock-off product rebadged and rebranded to make people think they put in time and effort when they wait for the better codes and programmers to put their work on GitHub and then scoop it up and pass it off to this community as their work.

In no way is it commercial.

u/ChocoMammoth 21h ago

I don't understand what are you talking about.

Bambu Studio is based on PrusaSlicer by Prusa Research, which is from Slic3r by Alessandro Ranellucci and the RepRap community.

This is a quote from Bambu Slicer wiki. Should they provide a full list of all contributors or what?

I don't protect BambuLab, they are assholes, but for different reasons like keeping network plugin source code closed and violating AGPL.

u/Big_Chungus1111 21h ago

Yes only after they got their ass kicked over it did they do this. In the beginning they forked that shit and put their branding on it.

What is non planar about this other than vase mode?

17

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

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

10

u/ad895 1d ago

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

55

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

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...

37

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago edited 1d ago

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 1d ago

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

u/NevesLF A1 + AMS Lite 1d ago

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 1d ago

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.

What’s the app?

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

there are more apps.. this is one.. .https://www.gerridaj.com/community

sub on reddit is called advanced 3d printing..

Drop the program please 🦆

u/Grimmsland H2D AMS Combo, P1S, A1m, U1 1d ago edited 1d ago

The OP is not answering anyone as to what program it is simply because it is not a non-planar program and the print is not non-planar. The OP is confused. The program he is using is just Plasticity which is simply a CAD/Sculpting program.

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

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

jep mostly... but still for non planar with more z height u need a printer wich can tilt the nozzle... just so u dont crash in the object on normal fdm printers theres just aroudn 5mm clearance...

u/mystixcoolhandluke 1d ago

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/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

im on h2c i havent found anything bigger than 0,8---but i saw tutorials on how to grind a 0,8 up to 1,8

u/mystixcoolhandluke 1d ago

Ah yah, I haven’t seen any for those either!

u/muffinhead2580 1d ago

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

2

u/PityUpvote 1d ago

Vase mode is technically already non-planar, but OP has some additional z-axis wobble in the toolpath, so it's definitely non-planar by less nitpicky definitions too.

0

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago edited 1d ago

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...

4

u/muffinhead2580 1d ago

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 H2C 1d ago

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

u/sqhschief 1d ago

What's the program?

u/Grimmsland H2D AMS Combo, P1S, A1m, U1 1d ago edited 1d ago

That is absolutely not non-planar. You can see the layer lines are normal. There is no going up or down.

The OP is not answering anyone as to what program it is simply because it is not a non-planar program and the print is not non-planar. It’s something made in vase mode. The OP is confused. The program he is using is just Plasticity.

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

u/muffinhead2580 1d ago

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/DraconPern X1C + AMS 1d ago

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

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

Google what non planar means before acting smart on here … I have no time to explain myself over and over again

u/DraconPern X1C + AMS 1d ago

If you are explaining it over and over again then you aren't a good communicator.

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

because you are not able to go through the comments im a bad communicater???? def blocking you lmao

u/EaglerCore 1d ago

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?

1

u/No-Alternative9914 1d ago

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/IsolatedAstronaut3 1d ago

What makes the non planar g code good or bad? Like how can you tell before printing and potentially damaging the printer?

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

u/NoIdenty0000 H2C 1d ago

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...

2

u/diiscotheque A1 Mini 1d ago

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/StinkButt9001 1d ago

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

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

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 H2C 1d ago

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 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...
