3D printer programming using G-Code

Learn the programming language that 3D printers read - solve issues, split and join G Code files and much more!

What you'll learn
Have a full understanding of the G-Code language that 3D printers read
Split and Join programs so parts can be printed at separate times
Problem shoot issues at the program level
Become an expert with your 3D printer
Requirements
3D printer
Description
Do you own a 3D printer and want to become an expert?

Maybe your printer is not working as you expect and need to be able to read the gcode file to check for errors when your slicer program writes the file.

To have a true understanding of how 3D printers work you need to understand the language that they use.

Slicer programs can make mistakes when outputting the code, but without being able to read G Code file these small issues could takes weeks to resolve.

Is it a hardware issue? a model issue? or did the program just miss the code that turns on the heated bed?

In this course you will learn

Reading and writing the G-Code file

The coordinate system that 3D printers use to produce parts

Moving the print nozzle with G0, G1, G2 and G3

Absolute v Incremental programming

Changing the printer from metric to imperial

All the codes to control your printer, from setting the temperature of the bed to controlling the fans RPM

Splitting programs into 2 or more separate files that can be run at different times

Joining programs

Problem solving

and much, much more!

3D printers use a simplified version of the CNC geometric programming language G-Code.

I have been teaching this language in an industrial environment for over 20 years and now you can learn from my experience is this easy to follow course on how your printer reads commands from your slicer STL.

Who this course is for:
Printer owners that are looking to enhance their knowledge of the language it reads
Solve issues quickly by deciphering the commands that your 3D printer reads
