In Slic3r's "Print Settings" under "Output options", enter the following for "Post-‐processing
scripts" (
modify according to where you have Slic3r installed
):
C:\Slic3r\run-‐gpx.pl
Using Notepad or any text editor, create a file called
run-‐gpx.pl
as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl -‐i
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Basename;
use Win32;
my $fname = $ARGV[0];
my ($name, $path, $suffix1) = fileparse($fname, qr'\.[^\.]*');
my $shortname = "$name$suffix1";
my $shortpath = Win32::GetShortPathName($path);
exec "C:/gpx-‐win32-‐1.3/gpx.exe -‐g -‐p -‐m r1d $shortpath$shortname C:/Dropbox/3DPRIN~2/$name.x3g"
You'll need to modify the last line according to where you have gpx.exe and where you want
the .x3g files placed. Note that the path used here should not contain any spaces.
This will call GPX, tell it that I'm using a Replicator 1 Dual (which is basically what the FlashForge
Creator is), and tell it where to place the .x3g file. I like having all of the resulting .x3g files go
into the same directory so they can then be easily copied to the SD card for printing.
