Custom G-code Custom G-code refers to user-modified or manually created instructions that control a 3D printer’s movements, temperatures, and extrusion settings. While most G-code is generated automatically by slicer software, custom G-code allows for advanced control over specific aspects of the printing process. Examples include adding unique start or end scripts, pausing the print at specific layers for filament changes, or creating multi-step calibration routines. Custom G-code is particularly useful for optimizing prints, troubleshooting, or achieving unique design effects. However, it requires a strong understanding of printer mechanics and syntax to avoid errors that could damage the printer or ruin the print. |
