Users can manually edit nozzle head parameters or select pre-configured industrial printers, choose from pre-prepared patterns or draw custom ones, then watch droplet placement simulate in real time. The tool highlights how even a single misplaced droplet can ruin a functional print. Released under AGPL-3.0, the author does not plan further development but welcomes community contributions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
