In GPXui, which slicer flavor should I choose when translating gcode from Simplif3D?

Which style of gcode did you have S3D generate? It can generate Makerbot style as well
as RepRap with subvariants.

I generated the gcode by choosing Prepare to Print, Save Toolpaths to Disk.

I did not know that gcode style is a choice in Simplify3D 3,0,2. I will look for that. I am using the Flashforge Creator Pro profile in S3D.

Contact S3D and ask which choice they are using when they drive GPX with your
choices.

I prefer to use "RepRap" flavor whenever possible since I also use OctoPrint and it's less confusing that way.

I'm not sure if Simplify can be made to output RepRap flavor for your printer, but hopefully.

It can -- that's how I run it. Unfortunately, the controls for handling this are
in a couple of different locations and it has changed with different releases.
Hence why contacting S3D directly might be wise. (After all, purchasing S3D
includes support.)
