CURA Setting for Flashforge 3D Printer

[Evo3D 1]

Hi Everyone

 

I'm Evo...

 

For FLASHFORGE printer User sometime I frustrated for  "How I can use CURA for my Flashforge Printer?"

 

CURA is a wonderful Sclier and many people use CURA as their main slicer. 

 

Somehow I might figure out How to Use CURA for Flashforge 3D Printer

 

I believe many of us who own Flashforge 3D printer and Ultimaker product want to use only one slicer software only for both machine

 

So I would like to share My finding here and hopefully wonderful Cura-Ultimaker community can work together with workable CURA for Flashforge 3D printer

 

So here is setting and Finding on the attachment. in this case I use Flashforge Guider IIS

 

Not perfect but I think it's a good start to improve the code.

 

I believe we can still do Coding in CURA custom code. but I'm not really familier with it.

This is possible, I have created the start and end g-code for a flash forge finder and have used it to print parts.  You essentially open up a .gx file created by flashprint and copy the end and start gcode out and you are ready to go.

Can you post examples of the Start and End code, I can open up my .gx file but I don't know where to stop for the cura settings, M108 or M106???

Hi,

Now its possible to print with cura, we added them in. But soon will be integrated as bundle in next release of cura.

Check this out.:

This is a good source to follow to get your finder running with Cura: https://labs.tomasino.org/flashforge-finder-with-cura/

As far as the FlashForge Adventurer 3 is concerned, I have made the following observations:

 

- The nozzle temperature is always +8°C above the setting in the g-code-

_ The print head does not always return to the home position.
