There are two ways to install the plugins. The easy method is to double click the plugin and then the CHITUBOX with plugin installed will pop up automatically.

 

 

Another one is to open CHITUBOX and click Menu > Help > Plugins.

 

 

Then in the pop-up window, click “Import Plugin” to install the plugin manually. 

 

 

 

After installing the plugins, you can export lgs slicing format for Longer3D printers successfully.

 

 

Warm Prompt:

 

Here is a bug. When you try to export lgs slicing format, sometimes you may meet this problem after writing file.

 

 

This will happen when you use the easy method to install the plugin and stay on the CHITUBOX interface and move on. Also when you double click the STL file to launch CHITUBOX and move on, this error code will occur.

 

This bug will be resolved in the next version. But at this moment, you have to avoid this bug by closing CHITUBOX interface after installing the plugin with the the easy double-click method and relaunching it again. Also you have to replace double clicking the STL file with clicking Menu > Open or directly dragging and dropping the STL file into CHITUBOX.
