Thanks for the answer, At first i see i have write something wrong in my system description. I use cura 13.11 not cupcake 13.11. Thanks for the recommendation to test the "Machine center 0,0" I think it is not activated, i will check if i m back to my living room. Did someone know how to setup gpx for converting gcode to x3g as postprocess in cura - it can be used as plugin but i did'nt know how to setup cura..... The machine connection - i think connection should work as minimum. Today i read a little bit mor about gcode and x3g.... at this time i know x3g is not an expansion of classic gcode... so if my machine spoke x3g and it get a gcode "hello"comand it would not answer.....

At first - sorry - for my eventually stupid questions. At this time i collect my first experiences in 3D Printing so i'm really new in this topic. I have a FlashForge 3 D printer (no Ultimaker ) but i hope i can ask some questions. System description -------------------------- Flashforge dual & sailfish 7.5 Windows 7 64 Bit Professional Cupcake 13.11 ReplicatorG 40 r22 Makerware 2.3.1.18 In need a long start phase because my machine setup was not correct. My first printing good results was with replicatorg - but in this software i was not able to put more than one object in the plattform. Flashforge dual is (more or less) compatible to Replicator 1 dual if i understand it correct. I would like to use cura - because the software looks nice, intuitive , is open source and because i can more than one object on the platform. before i can use it , i have to solve this topics: 1. Find a solution why Cura did not recognise my printer: Problem description: i could not connect to my 3D Priter in Cura - get a connection timeout (ReplicatiorG and Makerware can in my system connect) Because autodetect not find a connection - i choose the * variant 1 :port manually and try autodetection of baudrate * variant 2 : port manually and try set baudrate to 115kbaud did someone had have the same problem and/or find a solution ? 2. If this work it would be nice to print direct from cura - to do it i need a conersation from G-code to x3G format. This can be done with GPX-gcode-to-x3g - converter correct? How is the converter to setup ? in which directory i should install GPX and which setting must be done in cura ? 3. why something crazy things happens if i use the cura generated G-Code in replicatorG? Problem description - because i was not able to print direct from cura i try to import G-code to replicatorG. If i import G-Code in replicatorG which was generated in Cura the printer did something strange - move print head to the end of X and Y achses so that the head is stopped by mechanical limit. At first i think the machine setting was not correct in cura - but this seemed ok. Eventually the reason is the sailfish firmware or something others. 4. Has someone profiles/setting recommendation in cura for flashforge dual? If somebody has some informations to solve this topics it would be really helpful for me. Best regards, Frank
