This script will replace bounded infill areas in MPF/G-code files with single location extrusions approximating a lower density infill. This is made to process files in the MPF format generated by Additec ElemX Builder 3.4.4 (formerly owned by Xerox) to be printed on the ElemX Plus additive printer.
Run mpf_post_process.py
The bounded area is specified similar to a modifier cube in 3D slicer software. Bounding box for modified infill volume is set in testBoundingBox in mpf_post_process.py.
The new infill is only placed where previous layers have modified infill so that the infill stacks on top of lower layers. A 50% overlap is currently hardcoded.
Most constants are defined in the constants.py file and classes defined for printing are in printing_classes.py.
The input and output files can be set at the bottom of mpf_post_process.py by modifying the line
process(inputFilepath='test-square.mpf', outputFilepath='test-square-output.mpf')The user assumes all risk and liability when running code and output data in this repository.
