Generated with S3D, sliced with S3D, layer pause & filament change (on my dual-extrusion machine, of all things)

Works well enough. Using QRDroid, I was able to call up your website just using the picture of the 3D print.
BTW, nice site!

Heh, thanks.

On that note, I'm incredibly surprised how resilient QR codes are. I know its built into them, but ... you can have a picture of your screen of a screenshot of a picture from my phone of a printed part.

I was actually able to get the "high resolution" QR code from the Wikipedia article to load by taking a picture of my screen! It just looks like static.

It works too. My Moto-X took no time to read it.

Looks good. The biggest problem that I am having to work through is the scale of it all. I am trying to print a QR code that would in theory fit on a business card size piece. Getting there, but it is a challenge. A great way to learn your machine...keep trying to print a smaller QR code. You will learn about all the different settings and what a simple change to those settings will achieve. Baby steps...
