Hi, currently I am starting with 3D-printing. I have watched a lot of videos of how to create models, do bed leveling, (bad leveling, sometimes ;) choose filaments, and what else...
Say one use a 3D-printer, which uses the a SDcard to read the gcode files. Beside some basic settings (hot end temprature, bed temperature, filament feed speed...I think that's it) all informations about the print process are in the gcode file. There is no other way of feeding informations to the printer as the gcode on that certain SDcard. And slicer settings optimzed for a certain printer are seemingly one of the treasures hunted a lot... The printer I ordered (and which still hasn't arrived yet ...) comes with some example gcode files. I would guess that the manufacturer has trimmed the slicer settings he has used for these example files, are optimized to give the best results with this printer -- its kind of an advertising. Would be nice, if it could be possible to extract them from the gcode example files in a way, that made it possible to feed them back into the slicer software manually (not expecting to get a config file ready to be read directly with that certain slicer software I want to use...) And as one has already feared...the question: ;) How can I do this? Cheers Meino PS: I know qcode is an ASCII format...but understanding the codes to extract the slicer settings is a totally different kind of task... ;)
