[Feature Request] Preview #1030

Open NyxCode opened 3 years ago

NyxCode commented 3 years ago

Description

It would be great if a preview of the model could be displayed before printing it. Does anyone know if there are libraries available to render gcode as a 3d model? I'll look into what would be necessarry to support this, seems like a cool project.

This has been raised before see #885 #862

Jyers commented 3 years ago

I'll leave this here so I don't forget to look into this. I'll have to see if any other marlin screen implementations have accomplished this and how they went about it...

As far as i know there is a cura plugin for creating these previews/thumbnails. Working on ender3. But not on v2, I've v2, so I'm not able to verify this.

The fork of Jyers for the Voxelab - ALEX [ https://github.com/alexqzd/Marlin/releases/ ] - appears to have something going for Prusa as in this video -https://www.reddit.com/r/VoxelabAquila/comments/o9zyqz/just_a_little_sneak_peek_of_something_im_working/

Jyers commented 3 years ago

@Tw0bit Yeah, I'm actually working with Alex to get this going

Tw0bit commented 3 years ago

Nice work. I have both an Anquila and Ender 3V2 if you need any testing, etc.

Hopefully can be extended to CURA as well.

Hi, perhaps you can drop an eye here, He seems to have already done that. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ender3v2Firmware/comments/ombgj1/do_you_want_more_advanced_features_on_your/ https://github.com/mriscoc/Marlin_Ender3v2/releases/tag/2.0.9.X

Jyers commented 3 years ago

I've seen that implementation, and while it's functional, what me and Alex are cooking up should be a bit cleaner and give some more options.

I've finished merging this repo and alex's previev feature after 2 days of work :). i made a pull request. It works great for now but ony tested couple of hours. I dont know if it has a bug or a major issue. You can check my repo but i am not an experienced programmer. Thats why i dont recommend it before @Jyers or another experinced programmer finishes checking.
