Does not work for MakerBot Replicator+

[lericson]

For whatever reason, the resulting toolpath does not work with the MakerBot Replicator+ even if you substitute the correct metadata JSON and only keep move and fan toggling commands in the toolpath JSON. I suspect they look for some special comments that the MakerBot Print software actually does produce.

Could you produce a sample slice from the slicer? I'll comb through it, and see if I'm not replicating something that the official slicer produces.

I'm toying around with it a bit, but this is the vanilla output

I should also note that the meta.json that my MakerBot Print application produces don't look much like the one generated by the program. I have been experimenting with that as well. Finally, the print.jsontoolpath it produces includes a lot of comment type commands that it seems that their software actually parses.

Here's an example of the actual MakerBot Print output

I got it to work -- update soon.

I rewrote so much of the code that I'm not sure that a merge is meaningful.

Ah just check master, I changed some more non-essential stuff.

Are you gonna have this makerbot printer for the forseeable future? I currently do not have access to any, as I created this project back in 2019/2020 to use prusaslicer with my HS's Replicator 5. I might just let you take the helm for developing this.

In fact I just went on parental leave so, not really. I’m fine with the way things are — maybe you could add a note about there being a separate fork for Replicator+? An alternative is, can you test if my fork actually produces usable .makerbot files for the 5th Gen?
