Many 3d printer calibration tasks require sending G-CODE from your computer to your 3D Printer. I ofter recommend using MatterControl from MatterHackers or Octoprint for this task but I am always looking for alternatives. I recently discovered the Chrome G-Code Sender, a Chrome APP created by Buck Clay and listed on Github at the following location:
github.com/sir-buckyball/chrome-gcode-sender
This Chrome APP supports sending G-Code commands from any computer running Chrome, a Mac, Linux, Windows or Chromebook system, to an attached device over a serial/USB connection.
You can install this APP in Chrome by cutting and pasting the following (long) URL into your browser address bar:
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gcode-sender/ngncibnakmabjlfpadjagnbdjbhoelom
Please leave any comments below so we can continue to learn together.
