A program to generate custom temperature tower STL files and the corresponding G-code to make temperature changes as the Z layer changes.
This Python 3 script takes 3 command line arguments (BOT_TEMP, TOP_TEMP, STEP) and 3 template input files to generate two output files required to print a "temperature tower" on a 3D printer (tested on Prusa i3 MK3).
WARNING: If you are not comfortable with running commands from the command line, this tool may not be for you.
Example Invocations
----------------------------
To display usage:
python3 temperature-tower.py --help
To generate 5 temperature blocks with 250 on bottom, 245, 240, 235 and 230 on top.
python3 temperature-tower.py 250 230 5
To generate 10 temperature blocks with 235 on bottom, then 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244 and 245 on top.
python3 temperature-tower.py 235 245 1
