I added Recursion under Add Object → Lines & Patterns. Hilbert, Koch, dragon and other recursive curves.
How to use Recursion
- Open Studio → Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Recursion
- A live Recursion element is added to the active layer
- Tune parameters in the element card in the right sidebar (live preview on the canvas)
- Export plot-ready G-code when satisfied
Menu path: Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Recursion
Key controls
- Type: koch, options: Koch Snowflake, Sierpinski Triangle, Dragon Curve...
- Size: 90mm (10-180mm step 1)
- Offset X: 0mm (-90-90mm step 1)
- Offset Y: 0mm (-90-90mm step 1)
- Angle: 0° (-180-180° step 1)
Tune type, size, offset x, offset y, and angle in the right sidebar. Open Studio to see every control.
Shuffle (in the element card) re-rolls: fractalType, angle.
What I plot with Recursion
- Pen-plotter art on Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, and other pen-holder setups
- Layered linework exported as G-code with pen-up travel
- Combined with other V3 objects and modifiers in the same document
Frequently asked questions
Where is Recursion in the menu?
Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Recursion
What can I adjust?
Start with the key controls above, then fine-tune everything else in the right sidebar inside Studio.
Is this non-destructive?
Objects live on layers as elements. You can edit parameters anytime; delete the element to remove it.
Does Recursion work with multi-pen plotting?
Yes. Use Pen Palette on a layer to split linework by color, or set per-path ink on modifiers like Offset.
