Have you ever printed anything in 3D? If not, it’s super cool and you should watch this video:

I was inspired to make a 2D version of the MakerBot machine. Here is what I came up with:

You can make some really cool looking structures:

This program features a high precision collision detection system to simulate the globby plastic effect produced by the real 3D Makerbot.

Try it out here! (downloadable .jar):

Feel free to fork the open source code too :smiley:

Thanks for reading! Here’s one of my most favorite quotes related to the topic

A 2D program version of a 3D real-world printer. How do we have to imagine this?
What does it turn into what?

#3

It’s got no real application as of now. Just a proof-of-concept for a 2D print generator

#4

Uhm…?

#5

It’s just a demonstration of linear collision haha

#6

I’ve come up with this.

Reminds me when I was small playing in beach.
