How to simulate extrusion for 3D printing? |

Hi Marce,
You can use the ArcStart and ArcEnd macros that you will find here : C:\RoboDK\Library\Macros It will drop points wherever the TCP of the robot goes. Activate it when you start printing and stop it when you finish using the "Program events" option of your 3D printing project. Have a great day. Jeremy

Will try it out.
Thank you!
I attached a sample project that shows how to show the robot trace for 3D printing.
Hi Albert,
I don't know enough to make this work. Could you please review the attached image and let me know how to fix or where to learn more? I've read: https://robodk.com/doc/en/Getting-Starte...ntroMacros

Hi Marce,
You simply have to copy and past the "Extruder" python script from Albert's example to your station, then copy the "Extruder(-1)" commands that are in the 3D printing project -> "Program evens" (right column) from the example. Nothing too complicated here. 2 copy and paste and you should be good. Have a great day. Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
I understand your instructions but Python results in an error (listed below). What am I missing? --------------------------------------------- Python script failed returning 1 traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/RatCat/AppData/Local/Temp/Extruder.py", line 20, in from robolink import * # API to communicate with RoboDK File "C:\RoboDK\Python\robolink\_init_.py", line 7, in module = loader.find_module(name).load_module(name) File "C:\RoboDK\Python\robolink\robolink.py", line 39 in from enum import IntFlag ImportError: cannot import name 'IntFlag' Python script output -------------------------------------------- Thanks & Merry Christmas,

Hi Jeremy,
Got it - just needed to install the most current version! Cheers, |
