Seam-slope postprocessor

Post processor for G-code files for hiding a FDM seam.

This post processor modifies the G-code commands to hide the seam. The post processor enhances the surface quality and toughness of the printed part by concealing the seam. Works with gcode produced by any slicer.

Requariements:

Python 3.12

Running the script

--path to python folder--\python.exe "--path to python script--\postprocessor_seam_slope.py" "--path to gcode file--\slicer_x.gcode" --first_layer=0.3 --other_layers=0.3 --slope_min_length=10 --slope_steps=8;

Running the postprocessor from prusa slicer

--path to python folder--\python.exe "--path to python script--\postprocessor_seam_slope.py" --first_layer=0.3 --other_layers=0.3 -slope_min_length=10 --slope_steps=8;

Recommended settings

Line width = 0.6-0.8mm
Line height = 0.3
Slope lenght = 10-100mm (60 is enough)
Slope steps = 10-20steps (Many steps over a short distance may cause unusual behavior of the extruder if use LA)
Don't use any dynamic speed control
Use dynamic acceleration control with min acceleration for external perimeter (like 500)
