How to use Tiles

  1. Open Studio → Add Object → Experimental → Tiles
  2. A live Tiles 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 → Tiles

Key controls

  • Size: 150mm (20-300mm step 1)
  • Columns: 8tiles (1-40tiles step 1)
  • Rows: 8tiles (1-40tiles step 1)
  • Lines per Tile: 3 (1-12 step 1)
  • Band Width: 0.6 (0.1-0.9 step 0.05)

Tune size, columns, rows, lines per tile, and band width in the right sidebar. Open Studio to see every control.

Shuffle (in the element card) re-rolls: seed, gridCols, gridRows, lineCount, pipeWidth, sCurviness, diagonalWeight, crossingGap, wobble, layerCount.

What I plot with Tiles

  • 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 Tiles in the menu?

Add Object → Experimental → Tiles

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 Tiles 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.
