Description
Using MS-PAINT to make 3D designs? Would Bill have imagined that 26 years ago?

Download the "revolver" software here: github.com/pbrier/revolver.

Unpack in the same directory, and execute the script:
lua revolver.lua shape.lua
Now you can send your GCODE file to your printer!
Use ReplicatorG, Proterface, SendG or any other program for
your printer.
Modify the bitmap files (and/or shape.lua) to make other shapes.

Lua is a underrated scripting language. Small, efficient, and elegant. I've used it for various tasks the for over 10 years now. Mostly text filtering and data generation
