    Sorry, I use Simplify 3D. It performs the X3G conversion by invoking GPX. No idea what's going on under the covers.

    No idea on how to make it work on cura or the default qidi slicer? I mean, how does simplify3d invoke the converter? did you specify the directory of it or?

    Using S3D you hit a save button and it walks you through a widget to specify the file location. Within the S3D configuration settings that control how to "post process" the GCODE that it generates, emitting an X3G format file is one of the options it supports. You pick the X3G format from a drop down list. (Incidentally, the X3G option is selected from the same list where you would select post processing for the DaVinci types 1,2 or 3.)
