If I may ask, what is it I'm actually looking at? .8 nozzle with 'x' layer height? Just trying to get a read on what is making it look so 'thicc'. All the best,
Almost all printers can, as the ability to move simultaneously in all three dimensions are there, but there is a great difference how «non-planar friendly» the toolhead is. The newer hotends like Bambu and Prusa are very flat, and would struggle already at very low angles, but hotends like this is engineered to have a ~42 degree clearance.
because nonlinear layer lines make organic 3d prints look more natural by breaking up flat, uniform layers so surfaces flow with the shape instead of showing obvious steps. the contoured thick lines, it lets the layer pattern become part of the design. great for sculptural or bio-inspired prints.
why are you showing us 3D printing Porn. Now i want that

I would like to know more about your technique. Do you have a write-up or tutorial anywhere?

It’s 1.8mm nozzle, layer height between 0.5 - 1.5mm
That's a thicc nozzle indeed.
Printer goes up down left right forward back all on the same layer. This one specifically uses a thicc line.
I worked on of these once... Except it was a mig welding gun on a robot lol
I need to do this just so I can sit there and watch it print for hours. 😅
Any printer can make this kind of prints?

Sweet mate, Thanks!

Should also help with shearing along the layer planes since this method doesn’t have those.
art.
What exactly is it that you are printing?
