Using OSX or Linux to generate .wtk for offline printing on Root Plus
Hi!
Has anyone been able to generate .wtk files using Mac OS X or Linux (for offline printing on Root Plus)?
I contacted GP3D support and they say it's not supported, but I suspect that it's "just" a matter of:
I tried to accomplish this a while ago (when I had spare time) but couldn't get the printer to do anything to the point where I was wholly uncertain if I was doing any part correctly. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried this with success and would like to share their feat :-)
Cheers,

I contacted GP3D support and they say it's not supported, but I suspect that it's "just" a matter of:
- using Cura (or some equivalent slicer) to slice a suitable .stl model and generate the compatible .gcode - requires a custom profile tailored for the Root Plus. Has the added bonus of being able to generate GCODE more towards one's liking than what Germinate might do.
- using GPX (some suitable branch/build thereof) to compile said GCODE and generate a .x3g binary.
- [not so sure] renaming the .x3g to .wtk.
- Profit!
