Macro 3D Printer Workflow

Macro 3d printer workflow


Macro that creates an "stl" file with perfect rounding = without visible facets. It also allows to launch programs of your choice For example to automate the FreeCAD -> Slicer -> printing line

Principle of smoothing : it modifies the deviation property of the solids before generation of the stl and then replace the old values At the end, it proposes to launch the stl file which will open for example under cura if the stl extension has been associated with cura in your operating system.

Launching other programs or commands :

You can ask it to chain any program or command that you might type in a terminal. To do this, you must change what is in the "parameters that can be changed" section.

Examples of applications:

- Turn on the printer and the light (requires for example a controlled socket)

- Connect octoprint to the printer

- Start the tray preheating

- Save your FreeCAD and stl file
