If we compare a desktop CNC machine to a 3D Printer it can be seen that the only real differences are in the tool head and the heated build platform. In this tutorial I recommend you to use Mach3 but this does not mean that other software users can not use their machine as a 3D printer, in fact, any 4 axis CNC software can be used. Many of the home constructors use the very popular Mach3 CNC software for their desktop machines and on the Artsoft web site (Mach3 official web site) it is written that ‘there are over 10000 users of Mach who swear by its ease of use, great features, and outstanding support’. I have also followed the development of the RepRap which is an open source project that has enabled many CNC builders to easily construct their own 3D printers incorporating quite complex electronics and software. We can try to solve your problems together.Over the last 5 years I have been actively following the development and growth of the 3D printing community helped by forums such as the CNCZone which has been the number one place for us all to meet, share our projects and ideas.

Mach3 will load all the generated g-code (takes some time) and you will see your tool path.

Click the tab and File/Save as your generated g-code file

You will see a gcode tab near your STL model.

After some time you will get pop up windows of skeinforge (You will make skeinforge fine tunes from here when you will be an expert.

Wait for the modified skeinforge to slice the STL file (takes some minutes regarding the STL file complexity).

Click Generate GCode button on the dialog.

Select gnexlab for the base profile and do not touch anything else.

Click Generate GCode from the right bottom menu you will get a dialog as shown below.Select Machine / Machine Type (Driver) / Gnexlab Machine.You can use Replicator -G functions as Move, Rotate, Scale, Mirror Unzip the downloaded file to a directory in your machine. This post will be related with g-code generation using gnexlab modified replicator-G. If you have a 3D STL file and want to print it with your desktop CNC machine using mach3 software You are at the correct place.
