this is very cool. I've been playing with printing in air too, but not like this. Thanks for sharing! also that 1.0mm nozzle sounds huge, did you make that yourself?

By heart.... The spiral is 'just' cura with layer height 20 and wall thickness 0.04 to compensate the flow [and then still tweak the speed and flow live to 30% iirc]. The 'mesh' is first generated with cura, then manually move for to layers every second point in z and then copy paste with the right G92 Z.. E.. in between...

This is great Joris :-) 3 Axis printing! How did you create the G code? I'm a CNC operator at work, I could manually write the G code for x, y, z if necessary, but how did you do it?
Great work ;-)
