Convert Any Gcode file to A Minecraft Datapack
View On Github |
Examples
1 Minecraft block equals 1 millimeter and you can print up to 256mm by 256mm by 256mm scale prints
There is also a UI within Minecraft that shows the progress of the current print and what gcode line is printing
The tool
The tool that was created allows for flexibility in the conversion of any gcode file into a minecraft datapack (thousands of minecraft commands).
Why was this made?
I wanted to learn more about gcode since I own a 3d printer so I decided it would be good to know how to parse a gcode file. I also wanted to see if I could create a Unity program that could take any gcode file and convert it directly into Minecraft emulating every exact movement and filament extrusion.
