Jitter jitters the loop end position to a different place on each layer to prevent the a ridge from forming.

Operation

  Jitter Over Perimeter Width
Examples

Operation

The default 'Activate Jitter' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.

Settings

Jitter Over Perimeter Width

Default is two.

Defines the amount the loop ends will be jittered over the perimeter width. A high value means the loops will start all over the place and a low value means loops will start at roughly the same place on each layer.

Examples

The following examples jitter the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and jitter.py.


> python jitter.py
This brings up the jitter dialog.


> python jitter.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
