@eddyogi but what about feeding gcode directly to AM? AM has send gcode to printer option somewhere.
In the video I can read “1 mm walls using 0.8mm nozzle”.
I’m curious: how can a 0.8mm nozzle produce a 1 mm wall? By over-extruding?
By controlling the amount of material pushed out yes. The draft profile actually uses 1.0mm for the first layer and infil, 0.8mm for perimeters and 0.60mm for “top solid infill” all out of the 0.8mm nozzle, while the normal and fine modes push the 0.3mm nozzle up to 0.6mm for first layers.

Thanks for confirming this. And the quality is good (vs extruding for real nozzle size)?
i’m guessing that spiral print needs to be a single wall, no fill, no support set-up.
@eddyogi Fair enough. I just said that there’s an option. Not so nice of me is that I never used that option! O : )
But, I did send gcode produced by AM to printer without AM through https://github.com/natdan/rbx-toolset…
Now, when think about it - I wouldn’t just take any gcode and push it in to printer. I would first try to understand that gcode I am sending is ‘safe’ for Robox - that extruder won’t push too much filament in head so it builds up pressure and leaks, that correct Mxxx codes are sent to control head and bed temperatures, that ‘correct’ tool (T0/T1) is selected, that needle valves are appropriately open, etc…
In general - there aren’t too many parameters and it should be simple. If you have gcode and want to give it a go but afraid, post it here (or pass to me somehow) and I don’t mind going through all of it and even maybe give it a go first. Why not. More I learn about Robox (and 3d printing in general) more I find it being quite simple thing and complexity of ‘good’ print really lie in really, small details… If I had more time I would already have ‘custom’ gcode -> robox gcode converter for Cura and maybe other slicers, working based on simple retraction with fully open nozzles and see how it goes from there…
Just to let you all know - spiral printing is back in 2.01.01!
