Hello,
everything in the title
I create a gcode with simplify (cos I keep getting usb timeouts “Firmware unresponsive”)
and save it on the sdcard, but it does not appear in the sd card menu
any idea how could I solve this?
[admin:Why the hell cant I use up arrows and down arrows on this forum ???]
regards
Things to check. File needs to be X3G which S3D should generate.
If it is there and still can’t see it then use a smaller size SD card. No folders and short file name with no unusual characters.
no it generates gcode files
[edit:wtf, now I click on “save toolpath to disk” and it generates x3g … ok now why the hell did it create a gcode file the first time ???
and not this time???wtf ?]
It creates the gcode file first then converts it to X3G. Need to be careful not to pull the SD card from your reader/writer to quick!
yeah I guess it was the issue
but now my filament get clogged in that white tube again, pfff some days nothing works
gonna have to order these PTGE (or PTFE?) tubes
PTFE, it happens. Some reasons aside form the tube being damaged/bad are printing to fast for the temp. Retraction settings to aggressive.
The creator pro doesn’t work on gcode. U need x3g files from your slicer. It can take gcode with gpx plugin via octoprint…
The creator pro dont read gcode files, but x3g
files. Read this post on simplify3d to save files as x3g. Saving as .x3g vs. .gcode - Simplify3D User Forum 114
Probably the name you are giving the file is too long. Try a much shorter one.
This blew my mind. Thank you. It was the answer I needed.
Too bad this little tidbit isn’t in the FlashForge Creator Pro manual. Some of us in the 21st century are used to long filenames.
