One layer slicing from SVG import #1610

Open Cdriko opened 10 years ago

Cdriko commented 10 years ago

Hello I wonder if it would be not to difficult to made possible SVG import to slice only one layer. It would be very usefull for artistic explorations !

alranel commented 10 years ago

Short answer: yes, and I'm already working on that :-)

Could this be used for vinyl or laser cutting, or even milling? That would be amazing!

In the meantime until this feature is available, you can find probably openscad scripts or other online tools for converting SVG to an extruded STL. Then you can adjust settings on slic3r to force it to only do one layer. Perhaps by choosing "1 bottom layer" and no top layers. Plus, in "filament" you can set your other layers temp to be 0 celsius, and you'll quickly stop extruding after the first layer because of cold extrusion prevention in the firmware.

Cold extrusion as the end is not a good idea. Probably editing the gcode and removing the unwanted layers is more safe. Keeping tge final instructions to go away with nozzle and so is also good.
