Help connecting Makerbot (CTC clone) to CW
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2015 1:25 pm
Hello.
I am trying to do a bit of a workaround here and instead of building a new printer I want to use an existing Makerbot and build an "extension" for it that will allow it to print SLA. I will use the existing z-motor for the sla platform and x-axis for a resin wiper.Problem is I am unable to connect it properly to the software. From my understanding the printer cannot reciev raw gcode and oonly binary and maybe that is the reason. Is there any way I could control the printer from within CW ?
Thank you
