Request: Temperature plugin

How easily could this code be adapted to vary temperature by the same means it changes speed?

I am thinking of a wood filament print where I use a greyscale woodgrain texture, and the grains are both darker by temperature variation and indented by speed variation.

I think a combination of velocity painting and temperature painting could unlock a whole world of possibilities!

Hi Jason yes it wouldn't take an awful lot of changing. something someone else was doing the other day made me think that actually varying the cooling fan speed might be the way to go. A sudden blast of cooling fan is much more instant than changing the nozzle temperature and has a very similar effect... Mark

I hadn't even thought about using the fan, but I suspect you'd be right!

It might be nice to have a toggle anyway, where you can have fan speed, nozzle temp, or both, just for experimentation sake, and just in case some filaments cooperate differently.
