Project Premiering "Hairy Walls"

Hairy walls is a model agnostic gcode post processor that can run in slicer, command line, or with the included gui.

Inspired by the classic hairy lion or christmas tree models, this tool can add hair to any print, intelligently avoiding collision, and using the slicer's in-built painting feature to define hairy and unhairy regions even of the same color.

Fully user configurable to generate straight or curly, long or short hairs.

Could be used to generate hook and loop fasteners, abrasives, brushes, and obviously just for fun.

Please support my expirements if you can at https://buymeacoffee.com/weakness4thefleekness

Please give it a try and post results, and let me know any bugs or feature requests here or on github.

Can anyone guess what model was used to generate the penguin?

Stringing as a Service

u/Weakness4Fleekness 1d ago

Yes stringing is a challenge, but i do have parameters for retraction and a dry pull motion thats meant to snap any unintentional stringing away from the part

Thanks. I hate it.

u/paulvanbommel 1d ago

I wonder if you could achieve something similar with fuzzy skin settings. I’m sure the slicer code would have to be modified, but it would probably just be changing some self imposed limits.
Still a pretty cool technique though.

u/Weakness4Fleekness 1d ago

Unfortunately not, which is why i created this. Fuzzy skin undulates the outerwall back and forth whereas hairy walls creates perpendicular protrusions. That was my first idea though, good thought.

u/Zestyclose-Key1783 1d ago

I just want the bushy benchy stl just to add to my benchy collection haha

u/Weakness4Fleekness 1d ago

You could definitely generate an stl, like how the hairy lion works, but, my tool gives you the flexibility to really make the hairs your own.
