Second, don't save as an S3G file, that is an obsolete file type only for old firmware, which the Root doesn't support. (If you don't see that option, stop now! It won't work until you edit the above profile for your specific machine's Z-height, then install the profile as detailed above and choose 'Root' as your machine type.) This stuff is hard, and Weistek developed Doraware (which GP3D rebrands as Germinate) in response to the need for a simpler solution.įirst, don't choose Replicator from the Machine Type (Driver) menu, choose Machine > Machine Type (Driver) > Other Bots > Root. I knew I shouldn't have posted this information. Last edited by ModernGnome on Wed 1:02 pm edited 3 times in total That's it! ReplicatorG uses Skeinforge as its slicer and can directly save X3G files.

Select 'Root' from the 'Other Bots' folder in ReplicatorG's 'Machine' menu. If you are using Windows, you will then save the file as 'Root.xml' into the the 'Program Files > ReplicatorG > replicatorg-0040 > machines' folder. Edit the Z height value to match your machine's configuration. Install ReplicatorG for Windows, Mac or Linux, then copy the code below into a text editor (such as Notepad on Windows).

I based this driver on the Mac version of ReplicatorG software for the Weistek WT150. To do this, you must install the Root profile as described below.ĬAUTION: I recommend disconnecting USB before running this program.ĭefinitely never use the 'Upload new firmware.' option, or you will break your Root. Use this program to slice STL files using the full-featured (and integrated) Skeinforge slicer, and/or save GCODE in the binary X3G file format used by the Root's SD card reader. This tip has been reported as not applicable to the Root Plus. This tip applies to Windows, Mac and Linux and the GP3D Root 3D printer (base model).
