New flags forge creator pro won’t read files correctly
January 23, 2025 08:32PM
My issue is that when I slice the G-code in cura and use ghostkeeeper: [github.com] to parse it to x3g format to use on the creator pro, the creator simply will not prima, sometimes just heating up, sometimes leveling then sending the bed to the bottom and printing midair in the corner, not the center where the bench y was placed. I have used AI’s and other sources to try to fix this, and the AI finally gave up and suggested some 3d printing forums, this among them. I would appreciate any help available, after all I got these 10 year old printers for free. I also would be ok with downloading a new slicer but they all are outdated or their download pages have expired domains. Thank you!
Edit: I will post this on a few forums in the hopes that it will get more responses

Well, I don't have any experience with the printer you are having problem with but has it worked for you before or are you trying to get it up and running now?

That it does something and not always the same thing(for the same input file??) suggests to me something is wrong with the printer. Go over it and make sure everything runs smoothly, no binding and endstops/homing switches working correctly.

I have usually modified the files slightly when a change happens, and everything works smoothly as far as I can tell.

Have you tried this

Marketplace: In Cura I tested with using version 5.9.0, go to the Marketplace and find X3GWriter in the list. Click it, then click on "install" and restart Cura.
