- Makers with 3D printers exploring Japanese lattice patterns
- Worth noticing
- The controls offer 15 traditional patterns, panel dimensions, LED or non-LED layouts, and a choice of filament colors.
Field notes
The interface exposes image framing, panel width and height, triangle size, LED options, pattern selection, and color controls. Its explanation describes open patterns as letting light or the background through, while denser patterns show filament color; it also notes that fine patterns need fairly large triangles. The page outlines slicer-specific plan formats, but says sales have not opened yet.
