Technical introduction video

Extrusion width and height

In FullControl, each segment of the print path is individually designed, including its start/end coordinates, speed, tool number and other details.

The amount of material that is extruded is also defined. To achieve this, the user describes the cross-sectional area of the extrusion by defining its width and height. For simplicity, this is defined as if the extrusion has a rectangular cross section.

As an example, to write the Cartesian equations in FullControl, the format would be something like 5*Tval for the X equation and 4+COS(Tval*2*PI()) for the Y equation
