When purging 3D printing filament from a nozzle, you may notice a peculiar coiling behavior as the material deposits on a surface. This phenomenon is known as liquid rope coiling (LRC). In this demo, we utilize LRC to enable users to 3D print soft foam augmentations directly on top of existing objects, as well as create pressure sensors to facilitate interactive applications.
