I added Moiré under Add Object → Lines & Patterns. Two rippled combs overlaid into moiré banding.
How to use Moiré
- Open Studio → Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Moiré
- A live Moiré 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 → Moiré
Key controls
- Draw: both, options: Both Rulings, First Ruling Only, Second Ruling Only
- Spacing: 2.6mm (0.8-12mm step 0.1)
- Amplitude: 6mm (0-30mm step 0.5)
- Frequency: 2.4 (0.2-12 step 0.1)
- Detune: 0.18 (0-1 step 0.01)
Tune draw, spacing, amplitude, frequency, and detune in the right sidebar. Open Studio to see every control.
Shuffle (in the element card) re-rolls: spacing, frequency, detune.
What I plot with Moiré
- 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 Moiré in the menu?
Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Moiré
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 Moiré 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.
