Combining G-Code Files

Problem Statement

• Slicers have limited ability to modify settings mid print.
• It is useful to get granular control over properties of a printed object for optimizing production engineering
• Or, it is useful to modify printed objects in post processing of g-code - to append more printing to a file. There are limits to how much flexibility one has in the slicer.
• The solution here is to mix g-code files so certain layers have different properties (different slicer settings), or to modify parameters in the g-code itself.

Mixing Multiple Print Files

• Use Gblend for this purpose - [1].
• Download here. Need to compile from c code using gcc. [2]
