Hello GCode Viewer

[Joe Walnes]

Hi! If you're joining this list to help on a GCode viewer, please introduce yourself!

I'm Joe :). I hacked up the original viewer at http://gcode.joewalnes.com/. Since then others have improved it in various ways....

Hi, I'm Bart.

I love the program and use it all the time. I often use it as a previewer to double check old gcode before running it.

I added support for other types of CNC machines, which got rid of the layering idea which I did not think was needed.

I rewrote the GCode parser to handle the many ways GCode can be formatted.

I added a few more G code commands.

Here is a blog post on my changes.

Hi! I'm Edward. I run an open hardware CNC project called "Shapeoko".

I've been using the app since Joe introduced it and did some brainstorming with Bart before he added his features. I'd like to incorporate the viewer with some other web based tools I'm working with.

Hey All,

I'm working on an open source project called BotQueue which allows you to control your 3D printer or other GCode based devices through the internet and farm out jobs to them in a distributed fashion.

I hope to release Version 2 very soon, like maybe this week.  This new version will add online slicing which will allow you to upload and print STLs instead of just uploading GCode.  I wanted some sort of visualization, and finding Joe's GCode viewer was awesome.

My modifications are more on the look/feel side of things.  I wanted a common color scheme to match the 3D model viewer.

In the future, I'd like to integrated the thingiview 3d model renderer so that you can switch between model and gcode views.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like since I haven't pushed the new botqueue live yet.

Hi everybody, I'm Jeremy.

I'm a computer engineer from Pittsburgh, PA. Over the past couple of months I've dove into Joe's GCode viewer to learn webgl and try to reproduce some of the features in Pleasant3D.

To add features like GCode coloring and animation, I ended up rewriting the GCode model, parser (based off of grbl's parser), and renderer.

I also ported grbl's gcode interpreter to javascript to recognize the modal GCode groups, but it's not very useful yet.

Here's a blog post about my changes: http://jherrman.com/2012/10/gcode-viewer/

Hey,

I'm Chris and I got a 3d printer since a few months (ultimaker <3!).. Recently I wanted to make my 3d printer a wifi 3d printer, because I wanted to get rid of the noise + smell and be more flexible where to place it.

So I bought a raspberry pi and started a project on github called WebRap, which is a webinterface for controlling that printer. Its written mostly in html+javascript with a lean backend in python, that reuses the pronterface core to send the gcode commands/files to the printer. I also wanted a visualization so I used jon's gcode viewer.
