Looking for a software developer in the niche field of 3D printing slicing tools.
The goal is to tap into the open-source Prusa slicer's source code, and modify the "Embossed text" feature to automatically embed the recycling PET 1 logo on every possible surface of the part without significantly sacrificing the structural integrity of the part. (ensuring structural support is not a priority, but goot to keep in mind when possible).
These are the steps the user should take when playing with the final product:
- User introduces the .stl file on the printing plate in the slicer
- User selects the "PET1" fillament option/profile same as the already establshed filament type settings in the slicer
- Small prompt pops up, gives the user the option to mark the part as recyclable or not (marking will allow the Recycling logo to be placed)
- User selects "Yes"
- Part becomes branded in all 8x8mm areas (curved and/or flat) with "♻️PET1"
(Check the images for a rough idea)
Required Experience for the job:
Practice in open-source gcode moding.
- Familiarity with open-source slicers like Prusa or Cura
- Understanding of 3D printing workflows and file formats (STL, G-code, etc.).
- Proficiency in C++, as it’s commonly used for scripting in slicers.
Strong understanding of object-oriented principles to work with and modify the existing codebase.
Experience with open-source projects, including familiarity with version control systems like Git.
