I added Circuit under Add Object → Experimental. Routed traces with rounded turns and terminal pads.

How to use Circuit

  1. Open Studio → Add Object → Experimental → Circuit
  2. A live Circuit element is added to the active layer
  3. Tune parameters in the element card in the right sidebar (live preview on the canvas)
  4. Export plot-ready G-code when satisfied

Menu path: Add Object → Experimental → Circuit

Key controls

  • Terminals: dots, options: Dots, None
  • Columns: 18cells (8-30cells step 1)
  • Rows: 18cells (8-30cells step 1)
  • Field Size: 150mm (20-200mm step 1)
  • Flow Angle: 4° (-180-180° step 1)

Tune terminals, columns, rows, field size, and flow angle in the right sidebar. Open Studio to see every control.

Shuffle (in the element card) re-rolls: seed, columns, rows, flowAngle, swirl, wave, turnBias, terminalMode.

What I plot with Circuit

  • 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 Circuit in the menu?

Add Object → Experimental → Circuit

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 Circuit 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.

Try Circuit

Open 3DPlotter Studio, follow the steps above, and export a test plot. Lifetime V3 access is €29.90. Creator Bundle (€39.90) adds Map to Pen Plot, String Art, Wax Seal, and 3D Model to SVG.
