Overview
Printer Name: Flashforge ARtemis
Preferred Slicer: FlashPrint
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Bed Type: STextured
Filament: PLA, 1.75
Status
Functioning well 9/4/26!
This printer ONLY accepts proprietary .GX files, NOT .GCODE. Install FlashForge FlashPrint here: https://www.flashforge.com/pages/software-flashprint to export .GX files and print over the network.
hacking
- Bottom cover held on by five 2.5mm hex-key M4 screws
- it was proprietary garbage so we hacked in by connecting directly to the mainboard serial port, 3.3v TX/RX at 115200 baud, and used the bootloader to get a root shell and reset the password. Then we enabled telnetd by renaming /etc/init.d/telnet to S23telnet
- we installed a newer busybox in /bin/ and made links to it including nc (netcat) and pgrep (not quite working though) so we can connect that serial port to a TCP/IP port and use the printer over the network
- method of getting the newer busybox binary on there was to put the file on the laser PC's web server folder and using "wget" which worked because https wasnt required
- MAC Address: 94:a4:08:a0:c0:c5
- IP: 100.64.64.158
next steps
- printer motion controller is on /dev/tty/S2, baud rate 115200
- telnet in, kill the proprietary application that talks to the motion controller, and run
nc -l -p 1200 < /dev/tty/S2 > /dev/tty/S2 - then on another computer, run
socat something something 100.64.64.158 port 1200 /dev/virtualSerialportto create a serial port that actually just goes through the local network to the motion controller in this printer, and control it using pronterface or ideally octoprint running on the laser cutter computer - Try fixing this Python script to use OrcaSlicer to export required .GX file format: https://github.com/urself25/Orca_Gcode_to_Gx

Printing Tips
Flashprint default settings prints a big raft, and seems to be necessary for a good print.
FlashForge Studio does NOT support this printer AFAIK.
Maintenance Log
- Telnet enabled 5/31/26
