Cura, Vyper, and ArcWelder

(1/2) > >>

Privateer:
Anyone tried the ArcWelder plug-in yet?
I just installed it and gonna give it try.

Insanity:
No but interested in what you find out about it.

Privateer:
From reviews I've seen and read it does an amazing job of cutting down G-code and smoothing parts.
Gonna do a quick test on a single baffle later tonight maybe.
My main question is if the Vyper can handle the changes to the G-code.

brewbear:
Subscribed! Don't understand 80% of this stuff but I'll get it... eventually....

Privateer:
My understanding, at this point, is that Cura does not do Arcs.
And this plugin accounts for that.
So printing is changed from straight lines, which Cura does, and uses the Arc G-code commands so you get a rounder part.
It mostly shows up on larger parts as a not quite circle, but with flat sides.
Smaller parts you might not see this effect but if G-code is smaller? A part usually prints faster as less x-y movement on the hot end.

X-Y movement is the front to back, left to right movements. Z being the up and down direction.

Here's a link to a video.


If you load your G-Code in NC Corrector, then zoom in on an overhead view? You can see the flat planes of a part as it prints.
Size of a part does not matter. Your still getting flat planes!
