Hey guys, looking to get started with Octoprint using my Zortrax to start printing over wifi and stop using the SD card.
My question comes down to this, Zortrax uses a proprietary code type called "ZCode" (as far as I know its the same as GCode, just with their thumbprint baked in,) would this be able to work with octoprint? or would I need to convert it to GCode before dropping it into the octoprint ecosystem?
Thanks for the help, let me know if I need to add any more details.
From the little I know about these printers, it looks like you will be very challenged to connect it to OctoPrint. My understanding is that they don't have a Port you can connect to stream (Serial) the "ZCode" so even if you had plugin that would allow the support of that code to the printer, you have no way to connect to it in the first place. There might be something that can be done similar to how Bambu connection to OctoPrint is setup (emulation of the SD Card). But someone would have to put the time in and workout the details. It is a lot of work.
Okay, I think I’m understanding what you’re saying. I appreciate it. If I go through the work to make it happen I’ll definitely update here and share everything.
