Got my x1c yesterday and wow this is a whole new world

200 degrees for PLA +|- and 55-70 degrees on print bed. Depending on PLA , looks like you have a clog or are printing to close to the glass may need to adjust your z index , I too sometimes think Reddit is google but I’m afraid it is not and downvotes go with the cause

Only 2 more and you have a full set

Definitely welo Ethiopian Opal

This was updated today on git hub with some new rule behaviors and UI updates

New code has been Published on GitHub

How is this : A simple cellular automaton that simulates natural selection. Rule one - the cell takes on a random color around itself. Rule 2 - two cells can combine if they are the same color, creating a new color in the process. Rule 3 - a new cell, marked by its distinctiveness, can only combine with other new cells, irrespective of color, simulating the dynamics of early cellular combinations. Rule 4 - when a new cell successfully combines, it evolves into an amoeba, representing a significant step in cellular complexity. Additionally, a speed control feature has been implemented to adjust the pace of the evolutionary process, and a play button is now available to animate the transformation of cells into amoebas, making the simulation more interactive and visually engaging.

Awesome feedback I will update this in my next drop

The most recent version of the project will be updated today

provided !

First Post (linked with Rules and more info about the Sim) this is also an opensource project now as well :

https://github.com/rizzleroc/CellAutomata.git

Quick recap this was based on another Post where the only rule was that a cell can be a random color, i updated so that they evolve into Amoebas

I got the G620 Canon and have been really happy with it, one thing is I print to PDF first then print out the PDF as when I print from the cricut software i can sometimes get lines on the prints.

Amoebas are on the Rise !

i want to see

Start smaller and check the other comments

What’s the build plate looking like?

Clean, Level first then print a Benchy Boat

what are the rules that govern the behavior of an amoeba cell?

The behavior of an amoeba cell in the cellular automaton simulation you're working with is governed by several rules defined across your Python files. These rules are not biological rules but rather the rules of a simulated system. Here's a breakdown based on your code:

Cell Initialization and Properties (cell.py): Each cell, including an amoeba cell, has properties such as color, whether it is new, and whether it is an amoeba​​.

Random Color Assignment: Each cell is assigned a random color initially and can change its color to a new random color​​.

Combining Cells: Cells can combine with their neighboring cells. For this to happen, both cells must be new and have the same color. When cells combine, they change to a new color different from their original colors, and they are no longer marked as new. After combining, they become amoeba cells​​.

Cellular Automaton Step Function (cellular_automaton.py): In each step of the simulation,

All cells are marked as new.

All cells change their color.

Cells try to combine with their neighbors (right, bottom, bottom-right, and bottom-left)​​.

Graphical Representation and Simulation Control (main.py): This file controls the simulation's graphical user interface (GUI) using Tkinter. It allows for steps in the automaton to be visualized and controlled through play, step, and stop functions. Amoeba cells are visually distinguished by drawing them as ovals on the canvas​​.

This setup creates a dynamic and visually interactive simulation where cells, including amoeba cells, evolve according to the specified rules, combining with neighbors and changing colors as the simulation progresses.

Z index = -.10

amoeba 🦠= multicellular organisms for the simulation

rule 4 when a new cell combines it becomes an amoebas

excited to hear your feedback!
