voxel-print

3D print stuff in voxel.js using ShapeWays

Installation

Just do:

npm install voxel-print

Usage

First you need to connect to ShapeWays, which is pretty easy to do:

var lpr3d = require("voxel-print")({
      username: "Your ShapeWays Username",
      password: "Your ShapeWays Password"
    });

And then you can print stuff by just calling lpr3d:

lpr3d(voxels, function(err, result) {
  if(err) {
    console.log("Error uploading:", err);
    return;
  }
  console.log("Uploaded model:", result.model_id, ", url:", result.url);
});

And that's it! Here are some more details.

var lpr3d = require("voxel-print")(options);

module.exports opens a connection to ShapeWays web service. You need to specify the following values in options:

• username: The user name of your account at ShapeWays
• password: The password for your account
• application_id: (Optional) An identifier for your specific ShapeWays application.

This method returns a callable object that you can use to upload voxel models to ShapeWays directly

lpr3d(voxels[, options], callback(err, results))

Once you've created a connection with the above method, you can invoke it by calling it directly. To do this, you can pass in the following arguments:

• voxels: An instance of a voxel.js engine
• options: An optional object with paramters you can pass to shapeways
• callback(err, results): Returns the resulting model object or an error if things broke. results is a structure that has two fields:
  • model_id: The shapeways model id
  • url: A url where you can view/buy the model
