How To Create Optimized Gcode Files

The Gcode -> Datapack converter program will emulate every move within Minecraft exactly like a 3D printer would

Since the average 3d printer has a nozzle size of about 0.4mm and a layer hight of 0.15mm but the conversion program converts 1mm to 1 Minecraft block, there are wasted gcode lines since fraction of blocks cannot be placed in a minecraft world.

To solve this you can

• Use PrusaSlicer and inport the Minecraft_config.ini configeration file
• Configure your own Slicer Program
