Description

3dSynth is a creative toolpath synthesizer designed for experimental and artistic 3D printing workflows. Instead of converting meshes into G-code, it generates toolpaths directly using parametric definitions you control. This approach removes the need for mesh repair, slicer tweaking, or intermediate STL files. Users begin by defining a base profile using a spline editor, shaping the object’s silhouette along its height. From there, stackable modulators are applied to mathematically transform the geometry, such as adding waves, bumps, twists, or fractal patterns. Each effect can be limited to specific height ranges, enabling intricate surface detail and variation. The interface provides instant visual feedback with a live 3D preview of the exact print path. Built-in printer profiles ensure exported G-code includes proper start and end sequences. 3dSynth is especially suited for spiral vase printing and other continuous extrusion designs. The result is a fast, expressive workflow focused on form exploration rather than traditional modeling.

Description

I often encountered issues where the STL files I downloaded required minor modifications to be compatible with my 3D printer. Usually, this involved simply centering the model on the build platform or resizing it to fit. A few months ago, I developed OpenGL code to visualize both STL and GCode files for a different extensive project, which proved useful. Additionally, I faced challenges when trying to open ASCII-encoded STL files in my 3D/CAD application, which only supports binary STL files, prompting the need for a straightforward conversion method. To address these challenges, I created Pleasant3D, a compact utility designed to resolve these issues while incorporating my earlier visualization code for STL and GCode files. This latest version enhances the error checking within the Quicklook plugins and ensures that if Quicklook generation fails, the standard document icon is shown, preventing quicklookd from crashing during error occurrences. With these improvements, users can now expect a smoother and more reliable experience when handling their 3D printing files.
