Sending GCode (Flow IDEX)?

Maybe I'm just blind (and/or oblivious) but is there a way to send GCode commands from either Craftware or the browser interface of a Flow IDEX?

Similarly oblivious question #2) Is there a way to tether Craftware to the machine (ala Cura)? I ran a USB connection from my Flow IDEX into my Mac thinking Craftware would give me a way to select it and send commands but no such luck.

Dear C,

  • You can upload directly from the CraftwarePro:
    1: From the save menu
    2: From the bottom right export menu (if you select the Flow upload, the Craftware Pro will remember, and that would be the default export function to your printer
  • You can user your printer browser interface easily after you set it up: Flow_FlowXL_usermanual_2021_v01_ENG.pdf
    Please refer to the using the web interface part.
  • Serial Connection:
    The Craftware Pro's Serial Connection Terminal is under construction. However the printer supports standard serial communication, so you can use the  any serial terminal to connect to your printer.

Best regards,

András

Alas, I have a Mac. No Craftware Pro for me. ;(

Also:

That PDF link leads to 404, I'm afraid.

Dear C,

This link provides you the right user manual:
Craftbot FLOW user manuals – CraftBot Support Page

The Legacy Craftware offers the same functionality for direct upload. Just click on the Print Button and fill the form!

You can use the local IP address or the [myprinter].mycraftbot.com style url  as address.

Best Regards,

András
