• Abstract: 3D printing has long been a technology for industry professionals and enthusiasts willing to tinker or even build their own machines. This stands in stark contrast to today's market, where recent developments have prioritized ease of use to attract a broader audience. Slicing software nowadays has a few ways to sanity check the input file as well as the output gcode. Our approach introduces a novel layer of support by training an AI model to detect common issues in 3D models. The goal is to assist less experienced users by identifying features that are likely to cause print failures due to difficult to print geometries before printing even begins.

  This work demonstrates the feasibility of reconstructing G-codes by performing side-channel attacks on a 3D printer. By training models using Gradient Boosted Decision Trees, our prediction results for each axial movement, stepper, nozzle, and rotor speed achieve high accuracy. We effectively deploy the model in a real-world examination, achieving a Mean Tendency Error (MTE) of 4.47% on a plain G-code design.

In contrast with previous methods, our 3D-OAE can remove a large proportion of patches and predict them only with a small number of visible patches.
