@gibbo9000 thank you for sharing this. Can confirm it works on Cura 5.2.1 and firmware 1.6.5.167 g24 20200819.

Thanks for this post, it helps a lot.
I actually imported my gcode which is generated by cura to flashprint (file -> load file...) and could then print it directly without a usb.

Great job, can you also share some print profiles you use?

I've been using this setup for all my prints and it works great. I also built a little Python tool to directly upload the gcode to the printer and monitor the print job from the command line, without having to mess with FlashPrint at all. Check it out: https://github.com/eldade/flashforge_util
With the tool you can also get rid of the Cura post-processing steps as I fix up the temperature values in the gcode before sending it out to the printer.

Came to add to the thread and say thanks a lot @gibbo9000, your setup details continue to help others! 🙂
I've been strugling with FlashPrint for a while now, although I like its simplicity it kept doing strange things like trying to "fix" stl files only to make them worse. I have previoulsy used Cura and remember being frustrated when I found out I was being pretty much being forced to use it when I first got my FlashForge Guider 2S, and its continuely resulted in poor quality prints.
Having set this up the first print was such an improvement, and now I've got some settings dialed, the difference is night and day, have so much more confidence my prints are going to complete aswell as have the machine perform as it should and to its capability.
So glad I made the switch and found your instructions, thank you!!

I know this is an old thread, but I can't figure out how to use this with my Guider 2s after doing the leveling function on the machine. I've run this file a couple of time now for a print and when it goes to do the ooze line at the front of the print bed it seems to forget the z-axis and presses the print head hard onto the glass even though it literally just checked the z-axis with the leveling sensor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My thinking is to remove the G92 line from the start code but would really love some guidance.

@lufkin did you get it to work? I have been consistently using for a month or so now - so it should, and I hope I haven't left anything out.
