FlashForge Cura Integration

These are various projects and info from around the net that I've gathered.

I've modified some to work with Cura 5 and bundled them together as I found it really hard to get my Adventurer 3 running in Cura.

GXWriter

https://github.com/ronoaldo/FlashforgeFinderIntegration

This project is a fork of ronoaldo/FlashforgeFinderIntegration to add Cura 5 support.

GXWriter adds the option to save your sliced gCode in GX format. This is what most FlashForge printers need.

Features:

  • Includes a snapshot image which displays on the LCD
  • Includes print time, filament amount and other stats

Install

Download from the .curapackages from Releases page and drag/drop into Cura. After you restart Cura, plugins will be installed and you can save .GX files.

Adventurer 3 Profile

https://github.com/KeltE/Flasforge_Adventurer-3_Cura_Definition

I have added the FlashForge Adventurer 3 profile allowing you to easily install it.

Features:

  • Nozzle options: of 0.3mm, 0.4mm and 0.6mm
  • Materials including PLA, ABS, PETG & TPU
  • Bed mesh so cura displays a FlashForge logo

Install

Copy the "recourses" folder into the "\share\cura" directory in your cura installation. For example, in Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 5.0.0\share\cura\

The printer appears under the "FlashForge" manufacturer.

If you first test then use a generic PLA, ABS or PETG profile. Dreamer NX print speeds are added to these materials. What is otherwise Flashprint's initial settings are the same as Adventurer 3 speeds. Although I've changed the speeds to improve printing.

Support & Testing

I have only tested with Cura 5.0.0-beta+1. Your milage may vary - please open issues. I'm keen to know if these work in Cura 4.x
