Fractal Pyramid with Continuous Cross-section working gcode
Would like to print the Fractal Pyramid with Continuous Cross-section.

Pyramid5 seems small enough for start.
Slic3er had troubles slicing it. Ok ,happens to everybody. Thingiverse version was made with Cura. Downloaded it and used the "spiralize the outer counter" , one wall and so on. I have not used Cura before so basically I was throwing stones at it.
First couple of mm of print was fine, Than it went wrong... Later checked the Cura preview more closely and it had something similar in the preview.

Chances are I can keep throwing stones at Cura and not figure it out what I am doing wrong.
Long story short: Does anybody have working/tested Fractal pyramid .gcode for Prusa MK2 with PLA for sharing?

Thats amazing! I will try this and see if it works for me. If it does I will post the gcode
Re: Fractal Pyramid with Continuous Cross-section working gcode
Kept throwing stones at Cura and got one working 🙂
One is made of silver PLA and currently rteying to make one from blackk ABS.
Re: Fractal Pyramid with Continuous Cross-section working gcode
are you trying the 4, 5, or 6?
Any pictures?
Re: Fractal Pyramid with Continuous Cross-section working gcode
Made the 5.
0,2 layer. Took 3 hours. Weight 14 grams.
Watching it print gave me fractal headache. It hurts your eyes.
4 is quite small and 6 is too big for just testing. Will try to make the 6 in future.

Planning to visit grandparents and wanted something good looking for "show and tell".
Gcode for 0,2 mm layer PLA is in the attachment. Made it without any knowledge in Cura so testing on Your own risk.
If anybody has settings for "perfect" print than go ahead ans share.
Re: Fractal Pyramid with Continuous Cross-section working gcode
Tried with Slic3r and we I can't make it do one long continuous line no matter what settings I use. The same is the case with S3d.... Installed Cura and I can't even see where is vase mode...
Looked at your gcode and I don't think is one continuous line either but is the closest I have seen. Someone should try KISS (PJR HINT HINT)
Re: Fractal Pyramid with Continuous Cross-section working gcode
The Cura settings I used for ABS version. Only changed temps and cooling to match ABS, everything else is same as PLA. Bottom layer looked weird in Cura but actually printed fine.

The black ABS version had some temperature issues on higher layers. Some pyramids failed to connect.

Will continue with the PLA version for now.
Edit.
I think we have something good here 🙂
Couple drops of superclue and we have this thing on a new level. My mobile camera does not wrap its head over where to focus on this thing.

That looks really cool I need to print another one to do the same thing it looks pretty fantastic

Sorry Erick, only just seen your post.
Printed this a few days ago to test retractions (3mm) on MM upgrade. Sliced with KISS, printed first time with no problems,

FYI the original fractal pyramid model to be printed with a spiral vase was not compatible with Slic3r.

but there is now a remix for Slic3r
