Looking for a 3D printer backplot program, similar to the ones used in the CNC industry.
These are NOT just simulators, but displays the actual G Code tex and allows you to step through it line-by-line - displaying the simulation as you step through it.
This way, youcan see each line of gcode and what it is doing.
See video example here:
This is how NC Plot works - http://ncplot.com/ncplotv2/ncplotv2.htm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQqy4dAyPwk note - the music is a bit loud. I hate vids like this, but it gives an idea of what a CNC backplot program does.
another vid here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRZH4rLkmKg
Note how as the user steps through the code in the left panel, the workspace on the right shows where the tool just moved to.
I currently use NC Plot, Metacut View, Camotics, etc... for my CNC machines
I know Camotics is saying that they'll support 3D printers, but not as of yet
