I'm trying to figure this out for a Creator Max. It uses the .gx files, which, as mentioned above, appear to be gcode files with an additional binary on the front to allow for rendering of the object in the LCD panel of the computer.
To test I took a .gx file that worked, and pulled out everything before the comment -
;generated by ffslicer 1.29.0
I also used a regular expression to strip off the line numbers. The resulting file printed without a problem. It also appears to be straight gcode (although as mentioned you name the file with a .g extension).
I've also pulled the following as what appears to be the basic setup for the creator max in it's "Start gcode" block -
;start gcode
M118 X51.00 Y48.00 Z15.80 T1
M140 S50 T0
M104 S0 T0
M104 S200 T1
M107
G90
G28
M132 X Y Z A B
G1 Z50.000 F420
G161 X Y F3300
M7 T0
M6 T1
M651
Most of these are pretty obvious, but based on the RepRap gcode lookup I can't figure out M118 or M651
However, when I generate a gCode file from Cura using the "RepRap" flavor of code, I get an error.
Anyone have any tips or pointers for next steps? I'd love to get Cura working with the Creator Max.
