Work on toolpaths, print individual samples, plan collab object
Progress update --> Week 2
This week, each member generated 3D printing paths (as G-code) for their models. We printed these samples on Wednesday. Along the way, we ran into a few obstacles. For example, some of us had a hard time grasping the real life scale from the CAD environment (some samples printed either smaller or larger than anticipated). Other problems included 1) trouble with the G-code, 2) backwards toolpaths, 3) height of first layer, and 4) challenges with toolpath planning.
