3D printer's smoke break
stretching, siging, contemplating, drifting
This is a coriographed dance piece performed by Prusa 2 3D printer. 3D printers are under pressures. They are made to carry our technological derams and solutions to our social and econimocal problems. In this performance, 3D printer is free from our burden and performcs their dance routine expressibly.
Desposible electronic cigerette (blu) is a magic wand of technological fetishes. Obsettion to imortalality and escapist optimism. Printer interfaces this magic wand to produce cool menthole flavered ephemeral vaper, that drifts and dessapear before our eyes like our body and its dreams. Leaving us with songs of mechaninc movement of their body.
I am using Marlin Firmware that is comonly used in open scourse 3D printer. And Printrun software to execute and send g-code to the printer. Extruder motor is used and configured to be a syringe.
G-code is a simple comands that common numaciral controll devise (CNC, 3D printer, plotter). It is a simple text file composed to be a reference for the printer to dance to.
