Hi,
How can I save g-code generated from slicer (Bambu studio) as a simple text file?

Export the G-code then you can use these tools.

gCodeViewer

Notepad++

There are two places that you can export gcode from. The File menu.

And under the Print button.

Unless I’m mistaken the “Export sliced plate file” yields an 3mf file and not a G-code file.

Correct, Studio only exports gcode from the File menu. OrcaSlicer provides the second option:

3mf is a container (like a zip file) and may contain many files, including the G-Code file.

Here is link to a post I made with info of how to access and edit gcode inside the 3mf file format.

Altering G-Code

EUREKA! I never thought to try only editing the gcode file inside of the archived package. Using 7-Zip (Windows) [3mf Edit] Navigate to the Metadata folder and right click on the .gcode file. Select “Edit” and it will open the file in a text editor. [image] Make your gcode edit and close the file. It will ask you if you want to save the changes. Click “Save” [image] 7-Zip will ask if you want to update the archive. Select “OK” [image] That’s it. You can open the .gcode.3mf file in…

why does studio save these with a .3mf extension ? not .gcode studio isnt really up to snuff is it.

Studio does save a .gcode file inside of the .3mf package which is easy to access if you need to view it. Studio will actually preview this file so you can go line by line through it. The .3mf package is needed to include such things as the image of the model for the printer to display. The text format of .gcode files just can’t facilitate this.
