Hi all,

Is is possible to have a variable or some method of getting the full save path of where the gcode that's created is going to be saved?
I use ArcWeld and an Upload to printer script, but I currently have to scan the file system for a newly created gcode file, before I can do any post processing to the gcode file.

Many Thanks, John

Hi John.

Because producing the Gcode happens after executing the lua script, it is impossible to know beforehand this information and feed it back to the script.

What you might rather do is, in the geometry script and using service mode, tell IceSL where you wanna save the Gcode. Do remember that by using service mode, you forfeit all UI and you have to set all parameters you want to modify for your print in the geometry script.

The documentation of service mode can be found here:


Hope it helps.

Hi John.

This link will take you where we explain how to set printing settings through your script:


In order to use this you will need to know the internal names for each setting you wanna set. You can find them in the popup tooltip when you place your cursor on top of the setting in the UI. For a complete list of the internal names go here:

Hi Salim,

Thanks for the reply. Where would I find more information about the printer settings xml? I have only used lua files?

Thanks, John
