# laydient
|
|
Swap filaments throughout am FDM 3D print to create a vertical gradient effect
|
|
|
|
## usage
|
|
from a command prompt, use ```laydient.py /path/to/source.gcode```
|
|
|
|
Or place ```/path/to/laydient.py``` in the Post-processing scripts section in PrusaSlicer or maybe other slicers
|
|
|
|
## how it works
|
|
it searches for ```LAYER_CHANGE``` in the input gcode, counts them, then generates a gradient with that number of steps. Then it searches again and inserts toolchanges into the gcode at the appropriate layers. Finally, it outputs the code as ```input-filename_gradient.gcode``` into the source directory.
