Additional export formats

[WillAdams]

Please add a modular export format which would allow a naïve user to work up an export format --- I'd dearly love a way to export a .c2d file from it

I cannot find much info on .c2d files as they relate to 3D modeling. What software are you using that reads/writes .c2d files?

My apologies. .c2d files are the native format for Carbide Create, a closed-source (but freely available for 2.5D modeling) tool which uses a JSON dump as its file format. There's a Pro mode which has a free 1 yr. license available in consideration of the current global health crisis (see: the Carbide 3D community forums).

Talking of 2.5D I totally missed the non-planar printing thing of yesteryear

Does anyone know if anything more happened with this? (Perhaps we can move to a different thread since its off-topic.)

[WillAdams]

.c2d files are now pretty much off the table, but if there's some other format(s) which could profitably be exported, that'd be great.

The project most like to non-planer printing is probably fullgcodecontrol:

(still waiting on them to release the Python version)

@WillAdams Yep, I heard about this before. Thanks for providing a link.
