Advanced 3D Printing with Grasshopper®: Clay and FDM

Main Title is a bit too wide-sweeping, subtitle is more like it. Perfect manual for printing in clay or any other wide-nozzle filament-based printing, not so useful for other 3D printing approaches.

Lacking depth, experience and links... Nice pictures of their project and visual grabs of the gh code though. A lot of language and logic issues. Could have had a lot more on 3d printer interfacing and cnc control standards in gh. Sketchy descriptions and what's with the teachy attitude - Oh an advanced user will know how to ... That's why we bough the book, the title ... Great projects, well done, but maybe a book wasn't the correct output format

Total waste of money and time. Goes straight from very basic to extreme in a turn of a page. Book seemed incomplete and I was convinced there were pages missing. After reading other reviews I realised the book is total garbled nonsense.

The start of the book is good. The end is very unfinished. I does not give all the necessary information to complete many of the exercises.

Gave up after the first few pages as it seemed like there were pages missing or incomplete.

Ho comprato questo libro per superare i limiti degli slicer come cura e simplify3d. Sicuramente sarebbe meglio avere delle basi di stampa 3D, modellazione e grasshopper, ma le spiegazioni sono sufficientemente dettagliate e le illustrazioni sono così abbondanti e precise che essere accessibile anche senza tante conoscenze di basi. Il problema comunque non si pone gran che, visto che se si ha accesso a Rhino o si sta studiando, e il testo in questo senso è ottimo, o probabilmente si sa quello che si sta facendo. In poco tempo mi ha dato gli strumenti di base che mi hanno permesso di realizzare in autonomia gcode per stampare modelli complessi e anche molto diversi da quelli proposti, sia in argilla con una wasp che con la mia vecchia ender 3 in PLA che uso per i test in scala.

The book goes into detail on how to construct all the basic components you would need to create a custom g-code. This is a good basis to begin and from which to make even more complex g-code. Definitely would recommend.

Book does what it needs to do. But you definitely need plenty of prior knowledge of softwares to understand book. Not beginner friendly but you can find plenty of YouTube and other books for learning basics.

Asistí a un curso de Diego sobre Grasshopper y la verdad es que cuando vi este libro supe que tenía que conseguirlo. Está escrito de una forma directa y cercana, es como si alguien estuviera haciendo un tutorial a tu lado. Muy recomendable si quieres aplicar Grasshopper a la impresión 3D.
