Ekaggrat noted that there are a couple extra spots on his built in arduino in the printer he is using that can be used for things like turning an LED on and off. Your standard 3D printer is already capable of moving in 3d space, an already accepts Gcode to tell it where to move. However, Ekaggrat has come up with an interesting way to use existing 3D printers to make light paintings in 3 dimensions. The results were really cool, but the hardware was simply out of reach for most people. Yesterday we showed you how two creative people were using an industrial robot arm to do some light painting.
