Printer Compatibility & Firmware

3dSynth automatically detects your printer's firmware type and generates appropriate G-code. Different firmware (Marlin, Klipper, etc.) require different commands, and 3dSynth handles this for you.

Automatic Firmware Detection

When you select a printer profile, 3dSynth automatically detects the firmware type and adjusts the G-code accordingly:

Printer	Firmware	Notes
Creality K1, K2, K2 Plus, K2 Pro	Klipper	No M201/M203/M204/M205/M420 commands
Voron 2.4	Klipper	Uses BED_MESH_CALIBRATE, QUAD_GANTRY_LEVEL
Bambu Lab X1, P1S, P1P	Bambu (proprietary)	Dedicated Bambu Studio export with full firmware support
Prusa MK3S, MINI	Prusa (Marlin fork)	Uses G80 for mesh leveling
Creality Ender 3/5, CR-10	Marlin	Full Marlin motion commands
Anycubic i3 Mega, Kobra	Marlin	Standard Marlin commands

What Changes Per Firmware

Marlin / Prusa

M201 - Acceleration limits
M203 - Feedrate limits
M204 - Default acceleration
M205 - Jerk limits
M420 S0 - Disable mesh (if off)
G29/G80 - Bed leveling

Klipper / Bambu

No M201/M203/M204/M205
No M420 (not supported)
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE (Klipper)
Simpler startup sequence
Standard G-code moves
Motion limits set in printer config

Supported Printer Profiles

3dSynth includes built-in profiles for the following printers. Profiles marked Tested have been verified end-to-end with real prints. Other profiles are community-sourced and should work but may need minor startup/shutdown adjustments.

Brand	Models	Status
Prusa	i3 MK3S / MK3S+, MINI / MINI+	Tested
Creality	K1, K2, K2 Plus, K2 Pro	Tested
Bambu Lab	X1 Carbon, P1S, P1P	Community
Creality	Ender 3 (all variants), Ender 5, CR-10 series	Community
Anycubic	i3 Mega, Kobra / Kobra-S, Kobra-Max	Community
Voron	Voron 2.4	Community
Custom	Configure your own printer settings manually	-

Bambu Lab Printers

Bambu Lab printers use proprietary firmware with specific G-code requirements. When a Bambu Lab printer is selected, 3dSynth automatically makes the Bambu Studio G-code export the primary option.

The Bambu export includes firmware-specific commands that standard G-code does not:

M991 -- Layer change notifications (required for layer tracking)
M981 -- Spaghetti detection control
M1003 -- Power-loss recovery
; FEATURE: Outer wall -- Feature type annotations (required for Bambu Studio to render the toolpath)
; CHANGE_LAYER / ; Z_HEIGHT -- Bambu-style layer markers

Troubleshooting

Unknown Error on Printer

If your printer shows an "unknown command" error:

Check that you selected the correct printer profile
Look at the G-code header to see which firmware was detected
Klipper printers reject Marlin commands (M201, M420, etc.)
If your printer isn't listed, choose a similar one with the same firmware

G-code Header Shows Firmware Type

Your generated G-code includes a comment showing the detected firmware:

; Generated by 3dSynth Toolpath Engine
; Profile: Creality K2 Plus
; Firmware: klipper
