Browser based GCode preview has lagged a bit behind desktop GCode preview for several years now.. and we are guilty there as well. Mosaic's Canvas3D did a good job for a number of years, but not everyone can use that slicer.

So, we went back to the drawing board, and improved our preview tool.

Check out the complete how-to guide with more info about how to use the preview, on the Polar Cloud Academy.
