Announcing Gladius a 3d Printer Slicer Written in Rust

38 points golegogo

This new command line slicer for FDM 3D printers is mostly feature complete for single extruder printing:

  • STL Loading / 3MF support is currently in development
  • Move Generation ( Perimeter, Infill, Roof and Floors, Fan/Speed/Acceleration/Temperature Control)
  • GCode Export
  • Combinable/Chainable Settings Files

Some examples of 3D prints that I have done using this slicer. I am still actively adding features and it currently needs improvements to the user manuals and code organization, but as it can slice and print the infamous Benchy I am ready to go public. I'd love to hear some feedback!
