Hex Grid

Hex Grid is a painted hex canvas plus a 3D floor preview. You click cells, tune grid size and layers, and 3dSynth builds a vase-style toolpath that matches the pattern.

What It Is

• 2D canvas — click (or click-and-drag) cells to activate them
• Grid controls — radius, hex size, perimeters, and layer count
• 3D floor — live toolpath of the painted cells on the bed
• Direct G-code — export uses your machine, material, and nozzle presets

What You Can Build

• Coasters and tiles — small radius, a few layers
• Lattice panels — single-perimeter curves between cells
• Flower motifs — centre cell plus the six around it

Your First Hex Print

1. Open 3dSynth and select Hex Grid
2. Set Grid Radius to 3 and Hex Size to 20 mm
3. Paint the centre hex and the six around it
4. Confirm printer presets, then Export G-Code
