I've used Livecode since it was Revolution for teaching and learning and apps that simplified my administrative tasks at university, and built a library for statistical calculations and explorations. Since my retirement I have been using it to write the gcode that controls 3D printers. The main products of that are bespoke fountain pens.I suspect that the advantages of writing gcode using my custom Livecode library instead of going down the normal route of a 3D CAD model processed through 'slicer' software might be easier for readers to grasp in this forum than they would be elsewhere. In essence, the direct control the 3D printer's movements and extrusions opens up the design space and allows integration of structural and aesthetic requirements.Michael Lew (coder and pen maker)
