Flashforge Guider

Hi,

I notice the latest software up date does NOT have ‘Surface to platform tool’. This I used extensively.

My guider also seems to have lost the ability to do the assisted levelleing and will not goto all 3 corners only leveling one or 2? Any ideas on how to manually calibrate.

Last question, I have an stl file that loads with no errors however is missing surfaces when slicing. I have tried nettfab with no success (looks fine in there - until slicing).

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Brett

It might be a good idea to revert back to an older version of Flashprint, if it worked before. You can still download older versions of it from Flashforge’s website.

I know this says the Finder model but it’s still the same software.

Probably should plug in a do a firmware update as well, that might help with the assisted leveling issue.

I use a custom script for leveling, using the paper between the nozzle and bed trick. Create a simple text document and paste this code into it. Then rename the file to an extension of .gcode or .g :

G90
G28
G1 Z0 F600
M18 X Y
M0
G91

You’ll have to manually move the head to the three adjustment knobs and friction fit a folder piece of paper to get the proper adjustment out of it.

I know this code doesn’t fix your problem but at least it will get you leveling again.

Good luck,
