minus-squareToribor@corndog.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoThis makes me curious about the effect of nozzle shape on the output. Would a square holed nozzle work or look different than a normal round nozzle? What about an oval or star shape? Hmmm.
minus-squareSzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoA little but nothing too fancy. Probably just make it hard to get consistent line widths. Closest analogy is a hot glue gun. Unless you’re lifting up as you extrude to make a “dab” it’s just going to smear as it moves sideways
minus-squareToribor@corndog.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoYeah that sounds about right. Maybe it would have potential applications with non-planar printing? That’s still pretty experimental territory I think.
