A video on "Randomized shape creation with fluctuating 3D printing process" was submitted to YouTube. The title is "Creating naturally-fluctuated patterns using a 3D printer".

The printing process of an Olympic symbol using "natural-direction 3D printing" was taken by camcorder, and the resulting videos were submitted to YouTube. Because it takes about 34 minutes to print it, two versions were submitted: 1x digest video and 8 x whole video.

By using a 3D printer in unusual way, interesting randomized "CA-like" patterns are generated (see this video). Sparse and more fluctuated patterns are generated when extruded less filament, and dense and more regular patterns are generated when extruded more filament.

By using a 3D printer in unusual way, interesting randomized "CA-like" patterns are generated (see this video). When the grids are relatively sparse, filament sometimes stacks regularly and sometimes stacks randomly.
