What is a GX file? A GX file contains commands a FlashForge 3D printer uses to print a 3D model. These commands are written in plain text , using a variant of G-Code formatting. GX files also contain a preview image of the model they describe, saved in the .BMP format.

More Information G-Code is a standard printing language that many 3D printers recognize and can use to print 3D models. However, GX files differ from typical .GCODE files in the following ways: Each of a GX file's printing commands is numbered, using N# GX files contain comments that start with ; GX files contain a binary file header that describes a BMP preview image and model metadata For this reason, non-FlashForge printers may not be able to print the model a GX file describes. NOTE: GX files are similar to .G files. Both GX and G files are primarily created by FlashForge FlashPrint, the company's proprietary slicer program.
