Great model for testing new filament.

Tried just the PLA one, but I am sure, that the others will be as nice as this one.

Printed from WORCAM PLA.

Not sure if I did something wrong, but my Bambu X1C didn't switch the hotend temperatures at the 230C PLA bridge, so I aborted the print.

It would be a nice feature to have the filament manufacturer and color (like the swatches) printed at the base between the towers. Not sure how to do that at the moment. But I was able to add PLA+ as a material option but that's about the extent of my OpenSCAD skills at the moment!

I don't get how to use this.

In OpenScad, what are the Parameters X, Y, Z?

After I export the tempTower.3mf file from OpenScad, when I run './temptower -e 5 34 220 180', I simply get the following output in the terminal:
{if layer_num < 39 }M104 S220 {elsif layer_num < 73 }M104 S215 {elsif layer_num < 107 }M104 S210 {elsif layer_num < 141 }M104 S205 {elsif layer_num < 175 }M104 S200 {elsif layer_num < 209 }M104 S195 {elsif layer_num < 243 }M104 S190 {elsif layer_num < 277 }M104 S185 {elsif layer_num < 311 }M104 S180 {endif}

@bassamanator That gcode gets added to your slicer in the "Before Layer Change Gcode". I'll have to go back and check what those params are.

Nice one to test your temp for new brands

Not the easiest to see printed with Transparent PETG; but it worked like a charm.

I appreciate the flexibility of this. Thanks for sharing.
