You need to use a flexible material such as cardboard or thick paper. The center and angle of the axis can be moved to change the shape.įolded panels - This method works best for models with sharp edges instead of curves. Radial disks - radial disks form interlocking disks that start from a central point. A simple shape can become very abstract if the axes are placed at odd angles.Ĭurve - Very similar to interlocking layers, except that the plane of the intersecting slices can be curved. You can control the number of cuts on each axis and the angle at which each axis is oriented relative to the model. Interlocked Slices - This method creates two batches of slices that are separated from each other. This is particularly well suited for acrylic stacks as it is unlikely that you will have perfect sized acrylic dowels lying around.

In this way, the bars that penetrate the discs are added to the cut. We recommend the Horizontal or Vertical option.

You can add dowels that penetrate the layers to hold them together and keep everything aligned. Stacked slices - With this method, the sheets are laid flat on top of each other to create the shape. There are five ways you can split your model that are suitable for laser cutting:

MaximumCircularRadius = spatial(1000, MM) ĪllowHelicalMoves = false // disable helical supportĪllowSpiralMoves = false // disable spiral supportĪllowedCircularPlanes = 1 << PLANE_XY // allow XY circular motionĪnd farther below that, in the functions section, paste this below the onLinearExtrude function.The next step in preparing your model is to choose your design technique. MinimumCircularRadius = spatial(0.4, MM)

Tolerance = spatial(0.002, MM) // may be set higher i.e 0.02? HighFeedrate = (unit = MM) ? 6000 : 236 īeneath that, copy and paste this block: // used for arc support or linearization For this line in the RRF post processor (or your own custom one): capabilities = CAPABILITY_ADDITIVE
