Funciones de Edición de Imagen Explicadas

In the shape toolbar you'll find the edit shape function  ).

You'll find several options in the Edit Image screen.


Altura - Crear Impresiones Más Altas

One way to create taller prints is to increase the number of layers you are printing. 


Note that you must first assign an ingredient to the shape to set the height, as Foodini needs to know the nozzle size you are using. As you adjust the height, the number of layers will automatically change. Sometimes varying the height setting value +/- one or more units will not change the number of layers that will print. This is the result of a calculation based on the nozzle size and is a correct function of this setting.

The height is an estimate of the print, e.g., a height of 5 would result in a print approximately 5mm in height. Note that this is an estimate as the ingredient used can vary the actual result. To get this height, Foodini will print 3 layers (as in this example we are using a 1.5 nozzle).

If you rather set the number of layers you want to print, simply increase or decrease the height value until the correct number of layers shows.


Posición

Cómo Imprimir Formas Una Sobre Otra

Set the arrangement of shapes/creations to print on top of one another using the position setting. Note that position setting 0 (zero) is the base/foundation layer.



In the dish, the position is also indicated in the individual shape box:


Examples:

Cambiar el Orden de Impresión de las Formas

If you want Foodini to print shapes in a certain order other than the one automatically chosen, you can tell Foodini which shape to print first. This is done by adjusting the position of the shape.

We will use this print as an example:


All the shapes for this dish would normally be assigned position zero, as they are printed on the same level on the surface of the dish. In this example, Foodini defaults to printing the grapes first. 

However, we want Foodini to print the vine decoration first. Keep the vine shape in position 0, and change the grapes to position 1:
 

You can see what position is assigned to each shape by the number in the right hand corner of each shape:


Since Foodini will not print the shapes "on air", the vine will print first, and the grapes will print second - and all shapes will physically print on the same position on top of the dish: position 0.


Ingrediente - Cambiar el Ingrediente de la Forma

You can change the shape ingredient in the edit image screen by tapping the dot next to Ingredient:


Note that the ingredient selection will only be from those ingredients already selected in the dish:


Note that you can unselect an ingredient for a shape by choosing the grey color - indicating that no ingredient is assigned to the shape. This is useful for using shapes as templates, as further explained in this video:  


You can also change the ingredient for each shape by assigning them in the dish page. See Ingredients/Fillings : What are they, and How-To Assign to Shapes


Guardar Forma en Mis Formas

You can save a shape as a favorite to My Shapes by tapping the star:



Opciones de Contorno

If you have an image that is filled but you only want to print an outline, you can choose between several options. 


Example 1: Snowman - each print has two layers, printed with a 1.5 nozzle: 





Example2 : Donut - each shape has 2 layers, printed with a 1.5 nozzle:



Example 3: Circle - each shape as one layer, printed with a 4.0 nozzle:



Concéntrico

The concentric setting keeps printing the same shape smaller and smaller to create filled shapes. Generally speaking, having the concentric setting on while using larger nozzle sizes can give better print results.

You'll see a toggle for a Concentric setting. The fill function must be activated in order to control the concentric settings: 

You'll see a drop-down option that is available with the concentric settings on. This allows you to control printing shapes from a full fill (Auto), to a certain number of "walls". You can make between 5 walls and 1 wall.


If your print seems to have too many stops or jumps while printing, try de-activating the concentric setting or adjust the Jump Settings: Minimum Hold Distance.

In the example below, we are printing with a 4.0 nozzle: the shapes on top have the Concentric setting off, and the shapes on the bottom have the Concentric setting on:


You can see that in the bottom shapes, where the concentric setting is on, the same exact shape is printing small and smaller as seen when looking from the outer edge of the print towards the center of the print. Whereas the top shapes, where the concentric setting is off, has a different print path.

You will not see Concentric setting changes reflected in the Edit Image screen. For example, in the edit image screen below, it looks like the circle has a full fill, despite having concentric on and set to 2 in the dropdown. 


However, when you go to print preview, you'll get a realistic view of the actual print:


Print results:


Another example:


Suavizado

Depending on the ingredient, nozzle size and print you are doing, you may want smoothing function on or off. In general, the smoothing function is not needed when you are using small nozzle sizes and sticky ingredients. Sometimes smoothing will result in too much ingredient at the end of your print. It depends on what you are printing. 


Here is an example of a print where smoothing function ON produces a better result versus when it is off. This print was using a 4.0 nozzle with mashed potato as the ingredient: a larger size nozzle and non-sticky ingredient.


The final print result:
  1. Fish on the Left: Smoothing not activated
  2. Fish on the Right: Smoothing activated - the fish has a better, smoother finish, as the ending print path was extended using the smoothing function



Estilizar

Stylize attempts to make a print with one line thickness.

One line thicknesses can also be achieved by using the Line Drawing tool or importing SVG files.
