ForgeBridge: convert on download

Download a .3mf from MakerWorld, Printables or any other model site, the way you always do. A few seconds later the converted file is sitting next to the original, ready to open as a project in OrcaSlicer or Flash Studio. ForgeBridge takes a Bambu Studio or PrusaSlicer project and gives you the same project for a Flashforge printer: the designer's layer height, infill, walls, supports, painted colors and per-part settings stay; the machine-specific parts (speeds, accelerations, start G-code, Bambu hardware) are replaced by the official Flashforge profile. Supported: Adventurer 5M, 5M Pro, AD5X, Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro. What the extension does - Watches your downloads. When a .3mf finishes, it reads that file and sends it to forgebridge.app, the same converter as the website, with the printer you chose. - Saves the converted file next to the original, named model_AD5X.3mf. - Optionally saves the conversion report next to it: a single HTML file listing every notice and every setting that changed. - Two printers? Set a second one and every download asks, with a two-button notification, which one to convert it for. - Pause it any time: right-click the ForgeBridge icon and tick "Pause converting". The icon shows OFF until you turn it back on. What it never does - It does not touch the pages you browse. It has no access to MakerWorld, Printables or any other site, and asks for none. - It reads one file: the .3mf that just finished downloading. Chrome tells it which file that is. It never looks around your folders. - Nothing is kept. Your file is converted in memory on our server and deleted right after. - The original stays where it was. One thing to switch on after installing: Chrome only lets an extension read a downloaded file if you allow "Allow access to file URLs" on the extension's details page. The welcome screen takes you there. It stays on. Free, no account. Made by one person in Buenos Aires. forgebridge.app
