Is there a way to just print out a raft with the spacing and diameter of filament I want without having to build something to sit on it? I’m essentially making a screen.
I make handmade paper and each sheet is cast on a brass screen which traditionally looks very similar to a raft. Hold a piece good quality cotton paper in front of a light source and you may see a watermark but in addition you will see faint horizontal lines close together and vertical lines every inch or so. In papermaking terms this is called a “laid” finish.
The screens are woven on special looms but it would be amazing if I could print out an ABS screen and dial in the diameter of the filaments and their spacing. I have drawn and tried to print a 3D model of a laid screen but it didn’t work, I suspect the diameter is just too small for skeinforge to interpret and print out? I’m using BFB Axon.
