Topic: How de i get the header file from a .3w

Ok, so here is my goal. I am not wanting to use slic3r or cura with my jr 1.0. I happen to like the newest version of xyzware since now i can control retract speed, length and temp with their software.

What i am wanting to do is view the header file of a .3w to see what options it sets when i export from xyzware. IE, speed in the program i set to standard but in the header file it will actually give me a number like 60mm/s or whatever.

Does such a program exist that is easy to use?

thanks

Matt

Re: How de i get the header file from a .3w

http://soliforum.com/i/?WoY3vKr.jpgOk, i found threedubber but now i have some questions. It looks as if my software is not using the settings i tell it to. For example, here is what i told xyz ware to do

Quality: normal(this is the lowest one i have to choose. its either normal, good or best)
Speed:fast(selected by default and according to release notes, its 100mm/s)
infil:10%
shells: normal
Larer height: 0.4
temp:215C
retract speed = 30mm/s
retract length 4mm

Ok, so now i export it from xyzware, i do not use anything else, just xyzware.

decrypt in threedub and here is the output, notice the speedand retract speeds are not what i exported them as in the .3w file

Re: How de i get the header file from a .3w

I think threedubber monkeys with the header even when decrypting the file.  You can use my program to decrypt the file, I leave the header alone when decrypting and only make minimal changes when encrypting.

Re: How de i get the header file from a .3w

Omg, sorry for such a late reply. Never recieved a notification about this. Ok, ill grab your program. I contacted xyz and asked what standard speed was and the tech wasnt sure.

So i am only wanting to see header info so that i can see what settings are what haha

Thanks

Re: How de i get the header file from a .3w

ok, so i tried your program out. exact same output as threedubber. I have brought this to xyz's attention that the settings i set in xyzware are not exporting correctly. my retract speed is set to 30mm/s, on the header file in the gcode from you and threedubber, both say 15mm/s. So something is strange that it is cutting it in half. If i set to 50, header reads 25, if i set to 32, header reads 16. i have tested 4 times with different values haha.
what say you?
Thanks
