[ADDED] Embedd Preview/Thumbnail in GCode

I was confused why this isn't a part of this wunderfull tool =D

With Microsoft adding GCode Preview to its PowerToys I'm missing an embedded preview image inside the .gcode files created by S3D

It doesn't take much to add this. Please see this thread: https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/how-to-ad ... ode/6445/3

There are some 3rd party 'tools' that try to take a screenshot of the S3D preview and embedd the image. But a native solution would be much better.

S3D is a PRO tool, that should feature this ;)

Even version 5 doesn't come with this basic feature. Major disapointment...

Re: Embedd Preview/Thumbnail in GCode

We have now added the ability to embed thumbnail images in the gcode with Version 5.1. You can read more about the changes here:
