OWLplane File Naming and Code Implementation

Profile and STL Code

Profile File Name is defined as follow for regular PLA (non foaming PLA) series Models:

{Filament and Extruder Type}-{Strength Code}–OWLplane # {Profile Reference Code}

Sample:

PLA_D-L3-OWLplane # P3_H15

{Filament and Extruder Type} = PLA_D, filament type = PLA and extruder type = D (where D is for Direct Drive and B is for Bowden setup). {Filament and Extruder Type} is defined in “Filament and Extruder Type Code Table”.

{Strength Code} = L3, see the “Strength Level Code Table” for the explanation.

{Profile Reference Code} = P3_H15, see “Profile Reference Code Table” for the explanation.

 

Profile File Name is defined as follow for LW-PLA (not for “Digital Balsa and Foam”) series Models:

LW-PLA-{Strength Code}–OWLplane # {Profile Reference Code}

Sample:

LW-PLA-L3-OWLplane # P3_H15

{Strength Code} = L3, see the “Strength Level Code Table” for the explanation.

{Profile Reference Code} = P3_H15, see “Profile Reference Code Table” for the explanation.

 

Profile File Name is defined as follow for “Digital Balsa and Foam” series Models:

LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # {Profile Reference Code}

Sample:

LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # B2T2_GR1

{Profile Reference Code} = B2T2_GR1, see “Profile Reference Code Table” for the explanation.

 

STL File Name is defined as follow for all series models :

{Part Name defined in Assembly Animation} # {Profile Reference Code}

Sample:

FUSELAGE-1 # P3_H15

{Part Name defined in Assembly Animation Video/Web Page} = FUSELAGE-1

{Profile Reference Code} = P3_H15, see “Profile Reference Code Table” for the explanation.

 

Following are the reference Tables for non “digital balsa and foam” series :

Following are the reference Tables for “digital balsa and foam” series :

Here are the code used B2T2_GR1, B2T2_GR2, B3T3_GR3, B6T2_GR1 and B6T2_GR2.

To explain the difference, the tool from ideaMaker is used “https://www.ideamaker.io/compare.html” :

  • 1st Table, comparing : “LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # B2T2_GR1”, “LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # B2T2_GR2” and “LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # B3T3_GR3”.
  • 2nd Table, comparing : “LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # B2T2_GR1”, “LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # B6T2_GR1” and “LW-PLA-OWLplane-Gyroid # B6T2_GR2”.

G-code Directory and G-code File Naming

G-Code Directory Name is defined as follow for regular PLA series Models :

{Slicer Software Name Code}–{Filament and Extruder type}–{Strength Code}

Sample:

IDE-PLA_D-L3

{Slicer Software Name Code} = IDE, see “Slicer Software Name Code Table” for the explanation.

{Filament and Extruder Type} = PLA_D, filament type = PLA and extruder type = D (where D is for Direct Drive and B is for Bowden setup). {Filament and Extruder Type} is defined in “Filament and Extruder Type Code Table”.

{Strength Code} = L3, see the “Strength Level Code Table” for the explanation.

 

G-Code Directory Name is defined as follow for LW-PLA and “Digital Balsa and Foam” series Models :

For LW-PLA filaments, the directory name is “LW-PLA DD and BOWDEN“.

If using PLA the directory name is “PLA\BOWDEN” or “PLA\DD” name for Bowden and Direct Drive printer setup respectively.

G-Code File Name is defined as follow:

Just following STL file naming convention.

Should find similar settings in Cura or S3D.
