CraftWare Slicer

Can someone help me configure this new slicer to support the Delta shape?

It's possible to move the object to the bottom left corner in order to get it to print on the middle of the Onyx bed.

I found a bug in the GCODE created by the CraftWare slicer. It generates M106 SXXX and M107 commands even though there are no options in the configuration.

Here's a solution in PHP to fix it:

Code: Select all

<?php
  $gcode = file_get_contents("craftware.gcode");
  $lines = explode("\r\n", $gcode);
  
  $outputLines = array();
  
  foreach($lines as $line){
    if($line == "M107") 
        continue;
    else if (substr($line,0,6) == "M106 S" && substr($line,6,3) != "255")
        continue;
    else
        $outputLines[] = $line;
  }
  
  echo file_put_contents("craftware-fixed.gcode", implode("\r\n", $outputLines));
  
?>

Otherwise, the slicer is working well and has features similar to KISSlicer and Simplify3D. However, it's free (beta) and only available on Windows.

I recommend trying this slicer... No one is looking in this sub-forum.

I just tried this yesterday - really love the interface and how it handles the models/slices... Feel like I can actually see some close up details. I havn't been able to produce a printable gcode yet since it produces a double layer on the first few layers and I'm not sure why.... I don't have the delta shape, just a centered square 300mm which is fine for now.

This looks very promising, although their terms and conditions state that Thingiverse is an affiliate and that makes me nervous
