.GX

📌 A .GX compound basement embraces distinctive commands and instructions a FlashForge 3D printer applies to print an outcome 3D model. These accurate instructions are written and opened in plain text, using a custom implementation of the G-Code formatting pattern. The aforementioned data elements also maintain a preview image of the model they explicitly describe, saved and opened up in the .BMP extension shape. The G-Code term stands out as a common, broadly utilized printing language that many 3D printers comprehend and can exploit to print desired 3D model schemes. Nevertheless, .GX items differ from the ordinary .GCODE records in a variety of way, precisely:

• Each of the printing commands of a proper .GX element is individually numbered, using N# template
• .GX resources cover comments that are initiated from the ; symbol
• .GX branch nodes include a binary file header that describes a model metadata and .BMP preview image.

For this specific clause, non-FlashForge printers are not suggested to print an outcome model a concrete .GX file item describes. On the composition and hierarchical basement, the .GX data resources are pretty close to the .G pattern. Both .G and .GX build-ups are essentially generated by FlashForge FlashPrint, the company’s proprietary slicer tool.
