I have seen videos where people mess with the slicer and print curves on the Z, the vertical axis. I also saw that printing in a brick laying mode is doable. With that being said, it should be totally possible to weave layers together in different ways. I haven't seen it anywhere. If its hard to understand, I might have to show in a drawing how it would be possible.
I can think of a few issues. The first is software. Non-planar slicing is really tricky and is the limiting factor most of the time.
Next is the physical weaving. Printing under already extruded plastic is difficult, especially without 4th and 5th axes. This is especially difficult because the plastic gets stiffer and more brittle as it cools.
You don't print under already extruded plastic... Also I'm calling bot on you. 4th Ave 5th dimensions are pretty hard to work with at the moment.
Well I'm not a bot. But when you talk about weaving that usually entails wrapping things around in a way that would be difficult for 3D printers. What do oyu mean by weaving, because it's clearly not how I interpreted it.
Because weaving by definition generally involves going over and under other strands. Unless you are referring to something else when you say weaving.
You can make connections, like interlocking fingers right where the band of weaving goes up or down.
I recall fullcontrol.xyz had a couple of tools for making “woven” textures.
I'll look into that, thanks 👍👍
