When to save a Factory File vs. GCode in Simplify3D

In this video we outline the differences between a Factory File and GCode from Simplify3D 3D printing slicer software.  This can be helpful when sharing files with others or when you are troubleshooting a particular part on your 3D printer.

We are big fans of Simplify3D and we bundle the Simplify3D Slicing software with all of our German RepRap 3D printers here at 3DChimera.
