Scripts to generate slices for DLP 3D printers

Primary LanguageShell

Introduction

This is used to generate images (png) for visible light curing resins. Especially for the ones that use an LCD/LED screen for curing the resin.

Prerequisites

  • bash
  • OpenSCAD version 2015.03-1 (might work on older version, but only tested on my computer)

Usage

No installation required. Here are the steps required to get the sequence of images:

  • Clone the repo
  • Copy the stl file to the directory
  • Edit generate.sh and change the filename to your stl
  • Change thickness value in openDLP.scad
  • Change the layercount and min/max values to fit the stl
  • run ./generate.sh

The images are created in a directory the same name as the stl file.

TODO

  • Make file name parametric
  • Create folder in the generate file
  • Accept command line file name argument
  • Condense into one script, instead of two (python?)
  • Accept command line thickness value
  • Compute z bounds automatically
