G-code Optimization G-code optimization is the process of refining the G-code instructions generated by slicing software to improve print efficiency, quality, and reliability. This involves reducing unnecessary travel moves, fine-tuning extrusion rates, and adjusting acceleration settings. Well-optimized G-code minimizes issues like stringing, ghosting, or excessive retractions. Some advanced users manually edit G-code to introduce custom cooling cycles, prime extrusions, or conditional commands for multi-material printing. Automated G-code optimizers or post-processing scripts can further refine slicing output, ensuring the best possible performance for a given printer and material. |
