About gCodeViewer
gCodeViewer opens a .gcode file dragged into the browser and draws it in 2D layer by layer, or in 3D. Files are processed locally rather than uploaded. It shows retracts and restarts, colours moves by speed, can animate the printing of a layer and can display two layers together to check overhangs.
An analyzer reports model and layer information and can estimate cost from filament price and printer hourly rate, with an error analysis option. It suits 3D printer users checking slicer output before a print.
Strengths
- G-code is processed locally, not uploaded
- Speed colouring and retract display
- Shows two layers at once to check overhangs
- Print cost estimate from filament and hourly cost
Limitations
- Oriented to 3D printing rather than CNC
- Showing full G-code text is memory intensive
