I added Extrusion under Add Object → 3D. Sweep a profile along a spine to build a tube.
How to use Extrusion
- Open Studio → Add Object → 3D → Extrusion
- A live Extrusion 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 → 3D → Extrusion
Key controls
- Profile: circle, options: Circle, Polygon, Star, Donut

What I plot with Extrusion
- 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 Extrusion in the menu?
Add Object → 3D → Extrusion
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 Extrusion 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.
