vinyl-engine
Turn an audio file into a record you can print on an ordinary FDM printer and play on a real turntable. Lateral groove modulation, direct G-code, no server.

Could you build this?
No Converting arbitrary audio waveforms into mathematically accurate, laterally modulated physical microgrooves in raw 3D printer G-code requires specialized digital signal processing and physical manufacturing domain knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires DSP algorithms to downsample, filter (RIAA pre-emphasis curve), and convert audio samples into polar coordinate paths, followed by precision toolpath slicing. The generator must mathematically calculate tool speed, micro-extrusion rates, nozzle geometry limits, and dynamic lateral modulation to avoid skipping. Expertise in mechanical kinematics, G-code generation, and acoustic groove geometry is strictly necessary.
