XYZdims aka “3 dimensions explored” started first as personal blog February 2018 at spiritdude.wordpress.com and in November 2019 moved to XYZdims.com, where I document and publish 3D printing relevant developments of hardware and software, like in the comprehensive blog.

Some of my works of the past years:

• RepRap: Spiritdude: few studies on 3D printers (2011-)
• Github: Spiritdude div. 3D software like Print3r (2018), Prynt3r (2023) or OpenJSCAD.org (2013) and ScriptCAD.org (2019/12)
• Thingiverse: Spiritdude: various models
• this site XYZdims.com (2019/11-)

Additionally I provide services around the topics as featured.

Big Picture

All my efforts are about tight integration of modeling, slicing and printing (click & zoom in afterwards):

What has started as a simple script, Print3r, now plays the central role to coordinate all conversion stages and complex printer profile handling – and as most of the software is command-line oriented with quasi built-in protocol logging within the terminal unlike with GUIs. This approach helped me to handle the growing complexity of the framework.
