Flashforge Artemis blue 3d printer

Printer Name: Flashforge ARtemis

Preferred Slicer: Orca Slicer

Nozzle: 0.4mm

Bed Type: STextured

Filament: PLA, 1.75

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.

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

connecting directly to the mainboard serial port

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/virtualSerialport to 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

Flashprint default settings prints a big raft, and seems to be necessary for a good print.

FlashForge Studio does NOT support this printer AFAIK.
