Add Surface Mode from Cura #118

Closed gfalgiano closed 9 months ago

gfalgiano commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm trying to print a model from Planeprint.com and they require Cura just for this one feature, surface mode. Without surface mode, I can't get the Bambu Studio to print the internal structure of the model. https://www.planeprint.com/print

Describe the solution you'd like If possible, it would be great to have support for Surface Mode as described here: https://support.makerbot.com/s/article/1667418049490

Describe alternatives you've considered I see that Bambu Studio has picked up "Even-Odd" mode from Prusa slicer to support 3D printed planes from another designer 3D Lab Print https://3dlabprint.com/faq/prusaslicer/ , but the slicer settings don't work for PlanePrint files.

Additional context Similar request for Prusa slicer: https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/6982 One user suggests this feature can benefit academic research into 3D printing tissue for medical applications.

Here are some images of a sample file comparing the model vs sliced results. You can see that the internal structure is missing. 2 1

Personal opinion : This is probably a significant amount of work to implement and may not really be on-brand for this slicer fork. I'd advocate for something like this in SuperSlicer/PrusaSlicer, as I think they're more likely to have the bandwidth and experience to implement something like this from Cura.

It is also the single most useful feature to print light weight parts though. That alone should make it worth the effort.

psiberfunk commented 1 year ago

Sure , I didn’t say it wasn’t worth the effort , I was just saying this might not be the right (single person) team to advocate for doing the work . I think you might have more luck upstream

can this really be closed, after nothing happened?

Unfortunately I have no programming background, but I wanted to bump this up anyway. The possibilities are endless, especially if you want to define the location of suppoert structure in 3D printed planes. Although there has been quite a proliferation of planes that use infill as internal structure which is more or less a lazy shortcut for the designer compared to the former, it would be very helpful if we could support those designers who go the extra mile.

Or simply open the same ticket on PrusaSlicer
