gcode2png

python3 script for 3D rendering gcode files with Mayavi

Features

--help is showing usage
different options to show bed, model + moves + supports
auto adjust camera based on the model dimensions and location
remove first 5 gcode entries from object - helps not to show pruge lines, which would distract the camera view etc
option to define output image resolution
option to show image preview (no more weird unrendered windows)
set env var LOGLEVEL=DEBUG to see log flood on stderr
python 3.10+

Good examples:

Not so great examples:

python 3.10+
tested under Ubuntu 22.04, and nothing else
no longer compatible with forked projects
some gcode files are rendered weird, see test_nano.gcode, for example I have some custom gcode to trigger photos for timelapse, and thus some renders contain those lines that go to the back of the plate and then to the right - this is especially visible in skullbowl, crystal and test_nano examples
no support for bgcode
no support for absolute moves in gcode
