Scott Cooper write a nice artistic generator in processing. It named it Death to Sharpie and it's a nice drawbot that can give great results.
So here I ported to bCNC but all credits for the idea goes to the original author. Moreover his implementation is faster and simulate better the final result. Definitely give it a try.
But I'm lazy and I like to have all my favorite tools ready at hand.
Here a test:
Parameters are quite self explanatory except maybe:
- Squiggle total count: the number of never lifting pen squiggle path.
- Squiggle Length: is the length of the path generated travelling darkest area in a random way
Try to play with these values 250 and 400 are good starting point. Increasing the value can lead to stress your workstation. Disable the rendering of the G code can improve a little the performance, but the algorithm is slow and using python standard library I couldn't reach good speed. So please be patient.
