Hi!
Does anyone have a good conversion technique to create MakerWare (MakerBot's) gcode to a clean Solidoodle-friendly format?
So far I have managed to convert it manually, by exporting gcode from MakerWare, and then modifing it in Notepad + +. (Only changing the XYZ-parts of the gcode).
So far my results have been quite good!
I have a Perl script that does the opposite, by removing dodgy Slic3r commands to let a Replicator print Repetier-Host/Slic3r g-code.
The generally G1 movement commands are compatible, but all of the heating, homing and progress commands are different. A lot of these can be stored in the start and end g-code at least.
My experience is that I get better/cleaner gcode-objects from .STL-files downloaded from Thingiverse.com when I slice them with MakerWare.
If someone doesn't have script that does the conversion, I will try to create a javascript-based script myself 
Perhaps you can find out what slicer is behind the makerware front end and run it separately.
I know the slice settings are limited through the makerware front end.
I would love it if you had a script for this. I'm looking at the quality of the new makerware and I believe it may be better then the other options.
