.cube3 file decoder

[JohnTee]

Brilliant!
Didn't think of that, and if I had I would've thought it wouldn't work!

Nice to be printing again, after a hiatus due to busyness.

The difference between my tools and the older tools, is that I found that the Cube3 files are actually an "archive" of sort that contains several files. Better yet, by using the editor and corresponding scripting tool, you can modify your Cube3 files and still be able to send the via wifi to the printer. But if the older tools continue to work for you, have at it.

Buddy's tools are on a different level. I suppose one could move DLL's to system32. Damn, install tool!

[buddybu]

Hmm. Now you've got me thinking.

1. I could update the installer to put the files in System32
2. I could add the installation folder to the path so that the DLL's could be found no matter where the executable is located...
3. I could rewrite some of the tools in C and get rid of the need for the DLLs.
   
   1. Decoder (which decodes the BFB from the encoded CUBE3 file)
   2. Encoder (which encodes the BFB back into a CUBE3 file)
   3. Extractor (which extracts all of the files from the CUBE3 file)
   4. Builder (which combines a set of files from an extracted CUBE3 file) Experimental
   
   
4. I could create a shortcut to the tools on the desktop from the installer.
   
   1. I could add a custom install mode that would allow:
      
      1. the user to select which tools to install
      2. the user to select which shorts to installed tools to allow on the desktop

What'cha all think? (and I should probably move this to the Cube3Editor page)

Notes:
For #1, This would require running my installer in Administrator mode, something a lot of people aren't comfortable with and invasive to the system.
For #2, This is possible, but somewhat invasive to the system.
For #3, probably not going to happen for the full editor, but for some of the smaller tools, as specified above, it could.
For #4, this makes the most sense. I have done only a little work on the installer, but I could do more.

For one commercial piece of software I use I needed to manually add a path location for finding certain DLL files. Basically an addition to the environment variables for search path.

Hi everyone I am getting .bfb from simplify3d how to I am converting to .cubepro file but it is not supporting in printer

[TommyDee]

You need to slap a header and footer on there for cubepro. Then encode the file for sending to the printer. I'm sure buddybu's wonderful cube3editor will make that simpler along with some other efforts. I'll let him add to this. Great question though.

Ya thankyou

That is a very good question. I hadn't thought of this use case. Can you send me the generated BFB so that I can test the use case and give you some steps on how to accomplish this (or a new version of the tool that will allow you to generate a cube3 from cubepro generated BFB).

Guys, I kept Kept 2 files one is by the original Cubepro(.cubepro) slicer and the other by simplify3D(.bfb).
