# dumb-gcoder

A dumb GCODE generator made to learn more about GCODE and 3D print my cat some basic shapes it loves to play with.

This is a dumb project so I'm only targeting the specs of my 

[Creality Ender-3 Pro](https://www.creality.com/products/ender-3-pro-3d-printer).

Maybe one day I'll try writing a small general purpose slicer.

I only made a square and a rectangle. I wanted to make an ellipse/circle, but I lost motivation.

```py

# cat_toys.py

from dumb_gcoder.gcode import GcodeGenerator

from dumb_gcoder.printer import Printer

from dumb_gcoder.shapes import Rectangle, Square

bed_size = [220, 220, 50]

printer = Printer(bed_size, 0.4, 0.2, 1.75, 60, 210, 0.28)

gg = GcodeGenerator(printer)

gg.generate(Rectangle(printer).generate(50, 10, 5), out='shapes/rectangle.gcode')

gg.generate(Square(printer).generate(50, 5), out='shapes/square.gcode')

```
