Bad Apple!! but it’s on a 3d Printer (music and video)

To play the video, I converted each frame of bad apple to an svg, and then each frame of that into an stl. I used prusaslicer with some custom slicer settings to batch process each stl, and then to actually print the files I wrote a small python script to combine the files into large gcode files with 20 frames on each of them. I took the pictures using a Nikon d5100, and it’s just a slideshow after that. You will notice the printbed getting more deteriorated as the video continues from the repeated first layers being printed on it. To play the music, I have a python script for converting midi to gcode. I wrote more about this in my previous bad apple on 3d printer video. An interesting side effect of the music being printed is that it’s actually slower than the original at some parts, meaning I have to resync the entire video to go with it. I had to do this with my idol on 3d printer video as well. That’s the main reason why it took so long to make. at 5 fps there’s about 1000 fr
