[Can we open a .gcode file in Cura?]

Hi @wight, realize you are responding to a thread last updated close to a year ago, March 2017. Cura 15.X is the version from 2015. Just like that Cura version, the information in this thread may be outdated. I would recommend opening a new thread in Cura if you have any questions! 

 

Good point, will do, thanks @SandervG

Cura 15.X can open gcode files. Also you can drag and drop your file onto here and see your gcode in 3d:

gcode.ws

Or you can download and install repetier which is free and has a fantastic gcode viewer built in. You can tell which way the head is moving in repetier and see which printing lines follow which. https://www.repetier.com/

 

I'm okay with looking uninformed, but I'm running Cura 3.2.0 (latest release, I assume, I downloaded yesterday).  What is Cura 15.x?

 

Repetier asks to connect to my printer, or something, scratch that.  Any tangible/workable solution for reviewing settings, based on generated gcode files, when I (perhaps) don't have the source STL files?

Hmm, so the answer (or workable answer) is to use another app, for projects generated using cura, if we want to "reopen" them, for reference/adjustment?  What am I missing?  From where I sit, very non-intuitive and goofy

 

Thanks
