UV Curing on-the-fly
g.omni_intensity() can be used to set the intensity of a Omnicure S2000. g.omni_on() and g.omni_off() is then used to turn on and off the UV light, respectively.
Example: UV curing on-the-fly
from mecode import G
g = G()
com_ports = {
'uv': 1, # UV Omnicure COM PORT
'P': 5 # Pressure controller COM PORT
}
# define length of a single extruded filament
L = 50 # mm
# Print height
dz = 1 # mm
# set print speed in mm/s
g.feed(10)
# move nozzle to initial printing height
g.move(z=dz)
# Print path strategy
# 1. turn on pressure supply to start printing
# 2. turn on UV after a 5 second delay
# 3. print a single filament of length `L`
# 4. turn off pressure supply to stop printing
# 5. turn of UV
# turn pressure on (e.g., to start printing)
g.toggle_pressure(com_port=com_ports['P']) # ON
g.omni_intensity(com_port=com_ports['uv'], value=50)
g.omni_on(com_port=com_ports['uv'])
g.dwell(5)
g.move(x=L)
g.toggle_pressure(com_port=com_ports['P']) # OFF
g.omni_off(com_port=com_ports['uv'])
g.teardown()
g.view('2d')
