A comprehensive resource for developers integrating with FlashForge 3D printers across multiple generations and protocols.
This documentation is compiled from network traffic analysis, publicly available source code, and extensive community testing across various printer models.
The original text-based command protocol used across FlashForge's printer lineup. This API remains available on newer models for backward compatibility and specific control functions. Commands are sent over TCP connections using a text-based structure, supporting both older and newer printer generations.

Community contributions are essential to maintaining accurate, comprehensive documentation.
Verify documented commands and endpoints against your printer model. Add discovered undocumented endpoints, commands, or parameters. Help identify and fix errors or outdated information. Contribute findings for untested or partially supported printer models.
All contributions should be submitted via pull requests with clear documentation of testing methodology and printer model information.
