Can I get a stupidity check on my idea please?
TL,DR... Rather than calculating coordinate translation on the fly is it possible or desirable to have a translation map or algorithm in logic where we could plug in cartesian coordinates and get...

Hi Moriquendi, I was thinking the same kind of thing. I think an object is ultimately defined by a series of step instructions for the X,Y, Z axes and the extruder(s). I don't think the timing between...

Hi Frank, Perhaps my explanation isn't very good, I don't want to generate a map per printed object rather to have a map for the print area/volume of the printer. [attachment 59701 DocScan2.jpg]...

Im just spit balling here off the top of my head, so could be totaly wrong. table would need all values from 0 to 200 in X Y an Z (presuming 200x200x200 build area) even limiting to 2dp (100 points...

I agree with Dust. Also, what's the point? ARM Cortex M3 processors are dirt cheap now (cheaper than the atmega2560), and Cortex M4 are not far behind. Even the M3 is fast enough to compute precise...

You're cool if you manage to implement such a map in a working fashion. If you use relative positioning instead of absolute, you could give the map a much smaller memory footprint. Divide long lines...
