Image2Gcode ... Draw line art with your 3D printer. September 30, 2014 11:20AM |
Finally dusting up my programming skills and using it with 3D printing!! 
Using a 3D printer/CNC with a pen attached to the moving head, the goal was to draw/generate a line art representation of a photo as shown below. I developed and wrote the code which converts any solid black image to Gcode. The link to the script can be found below.
To do this you need to
1) Attach a pen/pencil to your printer
2) Prepare your image/photo
3) Convert the Image2gcode
4) Run the gcode on the 3D printer/ CNC
Link to convert your black/white image 2 gcode here...Image2gcode
Still at the development stage!! ... please send me comments, suggestions for improvement and report bugs here.
"Line art"...not sure that the proper name if you have a better name please share.
Will love to see what you draw (if you can share them here
)
More detail procedure can be found on my blog here
