save_3dprint: Save 3D Print

In rayshader: Create Maps and Visualize Data in 2D and 3D

Save 3D Print

Description

Writes a stereolithography (STL) file that can be used in 3D printing.

Usage

save_3dprint(filename, maxwidth = 125, unit = "mm", rotate = FALSE)

Arguments

filename	String with the filename. If '.stl' is not at the end of the string, it will be appended automatically.
maxwidth	Default '125'. Desired maximum width of the 3D print in millimeters. Uses the units set in 'unit' argument. Can also pass in a string, "125mm" or "5in".
unit	Default 'mm'. Units of the 'maxwidth' argument. Can also be set to inches with 'in'.
rotate	Default 'TRUE'. If 'FALSE', the map will be printing on its side. This may improve resolution for some 3D printing types.

Value

Writes an STL file to 'filename'. Regardless of the unit displayed, the output STL is in millimeters.

Examples

filename_stl = tempfile()

#Save the STL file into `filename_stl`
if(run_documentation()) {
volcano %>%
 sphere_shade() %>%
 plot_3d(volcano,zscale=3)
render_snapshot()
save_3dprint(filename_stl)
}

#Save the STL file into `filename_stl`, setting maximum width to 100 mm
if(run_documentation()) {
volcano %>%
 sphere_shade() %>%
 plot_3d(volcano,zscale=3)
render_snapshot()
save_3dprint(filename_stl, maxwidth = 100)
}

#'#Save the STL file into `filename_stl`, setting maximum width to 4 inches
if(run_documentation()) {
volcano %>%
 sphere_shade() %>%
 plot_3d(volcano,zscale=3)
render_snapshot()
save_3dprint(filename_stl, maxwidth = 4, unit = "in")
}
#'#'#Save the STL file into `filename_stl`, setting maximum width (character) to 120mm
if(run_documentation()) {
volcano %>%
 sphere_shade() %>%
 plot_3d(volcano,zscale=3)
render_snapshot()
save_3dprint(filename_stl, maxwidth = "120mm")
}
