I could never get the left extruder to work either... I think I tried changing the T0 to T1 commands.

The gpx.ini files has some options for extruders, but mine are all set to 0 (disabled), which...

This one?

Just an update if anyone reads this thread in the future and wants to connect to their FF.


My board is a Flashforge Creator REV C mightyboard (ATMEGA1280), and although the link that Geoff...

Yep unfortunately you can't with Slic3r / Cura.


I just posted this in the other thread, but: I know the guys developing MatterControl are looking at adding X3G support in the future, (and it can...

You'll need to make sure whatever your printer is receiving is in X3G, so unfortunately you probably cant take output directly from Slic3r/Cura.


I know the guys developing MatterControl are...

I agree with jimc's suggestions, glad they worked. I find using a brim with no raft results in a way better surface finish; and you don't need to clean the part. Another point is make sure that your...

I haven't printed a full file with it yet. I'm actually working on another project (auto-calibration), so all I need it for is simple move commands.

I might try to print a file to see if I can get...

So I managed to get this to work; all I had to do was install Linux (Ubuntu)... :D


In case anyone else needs the same functionality, here are the basic steps I went through:

Good idea to look at GPX!


I've looked at the GPX source (https://github.com/whpthomas/GPX) and it seems like only the 2.0 Alpha has serial support.


I've been running 1.4 (the only version...

Nice find :D. Unfortunately, it still didn't work (random characters being printed). I'll probably need to look into the source of some of these programs to work out what's happening. The 'connect'...

Yeah true; but what interface would I use to send the (converted) commands to the printer? PuTTY or something similar maybe? Is this even possible?

Thanks for the suggestion. I re-downloaded Printrun and ran Pronterface, but had no luck connecting at 250k baud (it just printed "fp-" endlessly after "Connecting...". Other baud rates just print...

Do any of you know any methods to communicate to the FF Creator X via the command line; I want to send jog/move commands like printer.moveX(100) - or something like that.


I've only had luck...

I upgraded my FF Creator X to Sailfish 7.6 (r1228) and have never looked back. Using Slic3r (and other slicers that use the Sailfish G-Code flavour) is way better than ReplicatorG / Makerware in my...

@cureious aardvark:
Yep GPX can run straight from Slic3r, but you can't feed it arguments (due to security reasons), hence the need to setup the GPX .ini file.

In regards to updating the...

I use Slic3r and GPX to get the .x3g file to print via SD card on my FF Creator X. Note that I updated the firmware to Sailfish, so this likely won't work if you haven't done that yet (I highly...

I think palawanisland is correct; it depends on what GCode flavour you're using.

I'm using Slic3r at the moment and that has an option (Printer Setting > Firmware) to select the correct flavour....

I no longer use Replicator G (I'd highly recommend Slic3r/GPX and upgrading the firmware to Sailfish), but what I generally do before committing to a print is check the GCode to try to spot slicing...
