Instructions

Hi,
I use Axon 2 and was not very happy with the results.
So I started to develop a little software, that is able to optimize the g-code-files (i.e. *.bfb).
The software is still experimental, but everyone can download it from: http://www.g-opti.com
The g-opti-software has the following features:

derafting (first 2 layers - raft has to be of different material than object!)
adding a 'start-string'
keep cooler always on
reduce speed of 'fast-movement'
add 'Z-move' whenever the extruder moves to a new position
add comments to all g-code-commands (expt. "G1"-moves)
send an SMS to your mobile phone when the optimizing-process is finished
In future there will be these additional features:
setting the temperature for each of the first two layers
setting the extruder-rate for each of the first two layers
setting the temperature and the extruder-rate for the last layer
Actually the software is only available in english and german language.
BUT ATTENTION: the software is experimental !!! So check out the result-file to avoid damage to your printer !!!
Everyone uses the software on his own risk !!
Happy printing
