until the OP can come back & give more details - it is kind of pointless to make wild guesses & suggestions.

1st I heard this. how do they print from an STL? and why dont they say so in specs?

See the post below you. They still use STL, it is just converted to an X3G file instead of gcode. You cannot send M commands either unless your software can convert them to an X3G serial stream as well.

the file is sliced during the export. So I think the g code is  incorporated into the X3G file.

when the computer is connected to print through (Makerbot Desktop) I think all the slicing and printer settings are loaded in realtime.

First off what printer? All your printing is done with gcode so I fail to understand what you're saying?

If he is using a CTC or makerbot, it does not use gcode.. My guess though is he got some bad STL files and needs to run through through netfabb.

I just bought kit from china and have a problem with printing stl, sometimes it displays that printing is in progress but without action. With g-code it works perfect. What is the problem? Thanks!
