DROID - 3D PRINT SLICER AND PATH PLOTTER

Droid is a 3D printing related Grasshopper Plug-in Library add-on, with control over model Slicing, Custom paths and Gcode generation. Designed to be used from small desktop 3d Printers, up to large scale Robotic Fabricators using FFF technologies and running from Gcode. Available to be used to prepare and print models in a 'Plug and Play' style with Droid components, or in a more controlled and experimental manner with Custom input and output print paths.

Droid allows control over conventional Slicing features such as infill, shell thickness and caps, within the Rhino and Grasshopper environment. In addition, output and editing of paths is also available once models are sliced into the Rhino and Grasshopper workspace, allowing full control and analysis to the user. Custom or edited paths then can be input back into Droid for Gcode preparation and generation.

Droid + ShapeDiver

@YT-Sebastian
I'd like to help you out with making Impala ready to be supported on the ShapeDiver platform.
Check out this blog post to understand the requirements for any plugin to be allowed on ShapeDiver.
I've reviewed the code for Droid, and at a glance everything seems to be in order except the Version string, which is missing. If you can add that and make an updated release on Food4Rhino, we can rollout support for that version and any future updates as well.
Please ensure that you override the Version string property with a formatted version number (eg. “1.2.0.5” or “1.14.0”) in the class that inherits GH_AssemblyInfo : Droid/DroidInfo.cs. We recommend overriding the AssemblyVersion string with the same value. Remember to increment these version strings every time before you release a new version of your plugin. Also, please increment the version from the old value before releasing an update.
Congratulations on the brilliant work!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reply here or reach out to me at praneet[at]shapediver.com
