Simplify3D User Forum

hello,
I'm prining side by side with a Leapfrog creatr Dual and a FlashForge creator pro with Simplify 3D 2.2.1 .
It's working great but with the flashForge i've less usefull informations in the " machine control panel "

1- on the machine controle panel wich is connected to the leapfrog printer i saw an estimation in minute of the needed to finish the job.
One the simpify machiine control panel wich is connected to the Flashforge one, i haven't this estimation .

2- the leapfrog machine control panel show me the comand , an i can send M126 S50 for exemple, it's working.
The FlashForge one show me something like cripted , and command aren't working if i send M126 .. i need to send binary or i don't konw what ...
how to proeed to have the same usefull thing on the Flashforge simplify 3d machine control panel ?

thanks for your help

Makerbot style printers (flashforge) that run sailfish firmware use a binary communication protocol and not ascii based gcode like RepRap style firmware like Marlin, Repetier, etc. (your leapfrog). That's why you see different looking communication text, and this is why a lot of people like s3d. Instead of having to use an ascii based slicing engine and one for binary based x3g files, you can use s3d for both

Thanks you for the aswer
It's interesting to know.

But i don't think that the time to finished estimation is something to do with Asci or binary .
Isn't a S3D feature to see how much time we need to wait to finish the job at the bottom right with the already made percentage ?
