Need to hand-edit a binary G-code file? Convert it to ASCII G-code, make your changes, then flip it right back. bgcode (with a huge file size savings in the process) and vice versa in a way that preserves all aspects of the data.
Want to code an interface of your own? The libbgcode repository provides everything needed to flip. bgcode, and a utility to convert ASCII G-code to binary (and back) is in the File menu. The newest version of PrusaSlicer has support for. You can read the specification of the new (and optional) format here. Partly to address this, Prusa have proposed a new. In fact, when it comes to 3D printing in particular file sizes can get awfully large. The format has many strengths, but space efficiency isn’t one of them. G-code is effective, easily edited, and nearly ubiquitous when it comes to anything CNC.
