I am trying to convert a black and white drawing into a 3D printable design. While the vector graphics are able to create infinitely sharp angles, a 3D printer has an unshrinkable nozzle size that won't allow for that. Every pointy end and narrow lines are therefore affected.vector graphics vs 3D print with one filament And this is the situation I if want to only print the black part. If I also want to print the white background on the same layer, the issue is doubled:vector graphics vs 3D print with two filaments Up until now, my 3D Slicer seems to avoid the problematic zones and simply let them empty.red showing empty spaces

Is there a way to tell Photoshop, 3D slicers or any other software to automatically implement the size of the 3D printer nozzle and create rounded points and thicker lines?enter image description here If so, is there a way to be able to choose between one and several filaments?two options

  • Adobe Illustrator has rounded corner widgets - try using that. Photoshop only has very basic vector capabilities because it's a raster image editor. It's essentially the wrong kind of software.

  • Though seriously, wouldnt it make sense to just export the Gcode as svg and then just stroke that
