Layer Plastic Volume

Layer Plastic Volume
August 12, 2014 02:32PM
Hi All,

I am using a Printrbot Plus and Repetier-Host/Slic3r and I want to know the volume of plastic extruded in each vertical layer.

Repetier already states the total volume of plastic to be used in the entire print, and the G-code viewer lets you see the cutaway of each individual layer. Is there any way to get the layer-by layer volumes to display? Or just get a list to export to the command line?

Thanks!

I don't know about doing it in repetier, but it's simple to total up the extrusion length on any given layer by analyzing the g code.

You have the length of filament used in Layer info. Simply multiply it by pi*d*d/4, pi=3.14, and d is your filament diameter in mm. Then the result is in cubic mm.
