The shape, without modelling
Height, diameter at the bottom and top, a belly or a waist with its position. Or an object already in the scene.
Crown G-Code
Vases and lamps as one continuous spiral.
Spiral toolpaths straight out of Blender, with no slicer in between.
Vase mode wall thickness, g-code without a slicer, printing a vase with a pattern on it: three questions that hang on the same point. The toolpath only appears in the slicer, and by then the model is long finished.
Crown G-Code writes the path itself: spiral toolpaths straight out of Blender for vases and lamps, as one continuous spiral, with no slicer in between.
Crown G-Code, 19 euro.
One path, no seam.
The spiral is written as one continuous path. No layer change, no stops, because the extrusion never pauses.
From bottom to top
Where the wall flattens out, the turns get closer so the layer doesn’t thin out. Bottom layers and a brim are built in.
Patterns as a path, not geometry.
Everything is computed as the path. So it costs no millions of vertices in the model.
Ribs
With count and depth. The pattern fades in at the base of the wall so the first layer holds.
Twist
The ribs turn over the full height. Plus a horizontal ripple and a noise texture with a seed.
Wave in Z
The whole layer runs as a wave across the surface, with a count around the circumference and a depth. Not a pattern on the wall, it is the wall.
Spikes and blobs
Spikes into the air and blobs with a dwell time. Mistakes on paper, a surface once printed.
Your machine, your blocks.
Start and end commands from your own text blocks, and recipes save the whole set.
Every value in one place
Nozzle, material, line width, layer height, flow, temperatures, fan, four speeds and retraction.
Preview in the viewport
You see the path, not just the model, before a file is written.
The proof
Tested on Blender 4.5 LTS and 5.2 LTS. The path is computed rather than modelled, so this part does not depend on the building blocks that changed between versions. Every release runs the headless suite on both versions.
Or all of it together
Crown G-Code is part of Crown Works as well, next to fits, enclosures and the surfaces of Crown Surface. Both single tools together cost 19 euro twice; the suite is 39 euro and has everything in it.

Questions that come up
Which printer is this made for?
The profiles are made for the Bambu Lab P2S. The g-code itself is standard, but other printers need their own start and end blocks, which you enter once.
Can I see the result beforehand?
Yes, there is a preview in the viewport before any file is written. You see the path, not just the model.
What about supports and infill?
There are none. That is spiral mode: one wall, one path, bottom to top. Right for vases, lamps and bowls, the wrong tool for a functional part.
How do I set the wall thickness?
You state it. It is a decision, not the result of a setting buried somewhere in a slicer profile.
Which Blender versions are supported?
Tested on 4.5 LTS and 5.2 LTS. The path is computed rather than modelled, so this part behaves the same on both versions.
Do I need Crown Works as well?
No. Crown G-Code runs on its own. It is also part of Crown Works, and both single tools together cost 19 euro twice, while the suite is 39 euro and contains everything.
