printrbot simple 1405 alignment issues with repetier (no replies)

when i use the g29 code, there is a 3mm discrepency between the back of the bed and the front. i tried solve the problem hardwise wise, tightened up the grip.

now, i know there's an autoleveling process, where repetier can adjust for the discprency. at the site, and when i emailed their support, they just pointed me to the autoleveling support page. instructions are clear cut, but there is no configuration.h file at all in my linux computer. doesn't say i need to create one, but can't find it. i unhide all the files and still don't see it.

i would like to get both of my 3d printers working in order, lol

Toolbar Button plugin example? (no replies)

Hi, I'm trying to write my own Repetier-Host plugin.
I added a button what automatically exports a 3d model from the current open scene in Autodesk Inventor and loads it directly to Repetier-Host. It works good for a first shot.
Is it possible to provide an example of a toolbar button, but I don't get it.

Also in version 1.00 something changed and you need to set the functions
        public void ComponentActivated() { }
and 
        private RepetierHostExtender.geom.ThreeDView inThreeD;
        public RepetierHostExtender.geom.ThreeDView Associated3DView { get { return inThreeD; } }
any explanation for that ?

The plugin interface is great, but it's hard to find.

I also get an error message from the plugin at start up:
: Plugin InventorImportPlugin.InventorImportPlugin: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

My next try is a 3DConnexion plugin if i get the SDK.

Repetier V1.0.0 Object grouping (1 reply)

In olden days with Repetier you dropped say 4 objects and they were grouped. You moved them around the plate using the truck/cross as a group. If you needed to move one object you could right click it to select and move just that object. Now they are dropped as separate object groups and by default are moved separately. You can move as a group if you right click all of the parts which then lets you move all of the clicked parts as a group.

Question: When doing the add (+) is there a way to get the added parts dropped in a single object group? I can see where groups could be very useful but only if you can control what parts go with what group.

Also would be nice if you could say drop X number of a parts. There is a combo box with a number but I can't figure out how it is supposed to work. New version may allow all of this... just have not been able to intuit how it works.

Thanks, Roger

Troubles compiling for Azteeg X1 with Arduino (no replies)

We're building our first printer and decided to use an Azteeg X1 with Repetier firmware.j

We've been having some trouble with the compiling and have investigated two options so far:

1) Repetier 0.91 with online configurator and Arduino 0023 with the Sanguino patch for mega1284p support (found on the RepRap/Azteeg wiki page)

The errors encountered are:
In file included from Extruder.cpp:23:
G:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino_0023\hardware\Sanguino\cores\arduino/pins_arduino.h:58: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
G:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino_0023\hardware\Sanguino\cores\arduino/pins_arduino.h:61: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant

In my reading of some other posts, it appears that there may be some duplication of the pin assignments. From "hardware\Sanguino\cores\arduino/pins_arduino.h", lines 58-61 are:
const static uint8_t SS = 4;
const static uint8_t MOSI = 5;
const static uint8_t MISO = 6;
const static uint8_t SCK = 7;

and the lines in Repetier's pin.h that also refer to the SPI interface and include a reference to pin 4 are:
#define TEMP_0_PIN 7 // MUST USE ANALOG INPUT NUMBERING NOT DIGITAL OUTPUT NUMBERING!!!!!!!!! (pin 33 extruder)
#define TEMP_1_PIN 6 // MUST USE ANALOG INPUT NUMBERING NOT DIGITAL OUTPUT NUMBERING!!!!!!!!! (pin 34 bed)
#define SDPOWER -1
#define SDSS 31
#define SCK_PIN 7
#define MISO_PIN 6
#define MOSI_PIN 5
#define HEATER_2_PIN -1
#define TEMP_2_PIN -1

#ifdef AZTEEG_X1
#define ORIG_FAN_PIN 4
#endif

I'm confused by a number of things such as why the MOSI pin is named MOSI in "pins_arduino.h" and MOSI_PIN in "pins.h", but I'll be satisfied to make the printer work and understand that later... (or now if you like :))

Any ideas to resolve these errors would be greatly appreciated.

We also tried
2) Repetier 0.91 with online configurator and Arduino 1.05r2 with the Gen7 patch for mega1284p support (found on the RepRap/Gen7_Arduino_IDE_Support wiki page)

The errors we found there are:
gcode.cpp: In static member function 'static void GCode::pushCommand()':
gcode.cpp:215: error: cannot call member function 'void GCode::echoCommand()' without object

The associated lines of code look like:
void GCode::pushCommand()
{
bufferWriteIndex = (bufferWriteIndex+1) % GCODE_BUFFER_SIZE;
bufferLength++;
#ifndef ECHO_ON_EXECUTE
echoCommand();
#endif
}

Seems like there is another problem with incompatibility. We were under the impression that the Azteeg X1 and Gen7 were pin compatible.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue too?

Thanks for any advice!

Sorry, but this one is driving me crazy. The temperature curve is partially hidden by a window with the different checkboxes for enabling/disabling particular items to be graphed (see the attached screenshot). How do I dismiss this window?

Retraction Problem (1 reply)

I have changed from Marlin firmware to the latest Repetier firmware on my OrdBot. I am slowly optimising the settings and getting it printing but I still have a problem getting retraction to work. I have a Bowden setup and I need to use some retraction.

Using Repetier Host for example on the manual setting, extrusion works OK in the right direction, but if I try retraction on manual it continues to extrude instead i.e. the extruder direction is the reverse of what is desired.

Any suggestions where to look first. I have also changed all the stepper drivers to A4988 type which may or may not be relevant.

Copy Object(s) changes point of view (no replies)

It tends to be kinda annoying when you copy an object (duplicate it on the build platform) the point of view is changed by zooming on the copied objects. Unless I am missing something, it doesn't help at all and you have to zoom back out and recenter your view every time you duplicate an object.

Hello All!
Was wondering if anyone could help to point me in the right direction to modify the firmware to support a corexz gantry system? I've been studying how the corexy was implemented, but any tips on what to look out for in order to get corexz working properly would be very appreciated.

Thx!

Firmware 0.91 ignores my extruder (1 reply)

I have a super generic Reprap Prusa I3, with Mega and Ramps 1.4.
I have been using Repetier Host and firmware 0.83 for a while with no issues.
Then I bought a "Reprap Discount Full Graphic Smart Controller" to allow printing detached from my computer.

The latest repetier firmware says it works with that lcd screen, so I tried.
It all works, except I noticed the extruder cannot be manually moved using host, though the lcd controller can move it using the dial.
I tried a test print and the extruder does not move.
So I then tried many things.
I put old firmware (0.83) back on and the extruder works.

I unplugged the lcd board and configured firmware to not use it. Same problem, no manual extrusion
So it seems to be a general config problem. Not the host.
I even replicated on another host software so I know it the 0.91 firmware (and its config).

I then carefully compared my configuration.h from old and new firmware, as well as pins.h.
I will mention that I put my x axis motor on extruder2 slot on ramps, and modified pins.h to accommodate, but I have had no issues with that.

Having gone through the config at least 10 times, and trying many things, I cannot get the extruder (only one), to be recognized.
The extruder heater works fine.

How in the world could the LCD be able to run the extruder motor, and not the host?
I am about ready to give up repetier firmware.

Taz 3.2 was working fine with Repeier 0.9x but not with 1.0 (1 reply)

My printer has been working flawlessly with older versions of Repetier. Today I upgraded to 1.01, and it connects to the printer, it sends the reconnect disconnect settings, and even seems to turn the heaters on and off, but I cannot get it to send a movement command. Prointerface or manual control from the LCD still works fine. I've tried every baud, every setting in the printer settings I can find, and none of them work. Any ideas? the commands for movement just stack up in the repetier interface with "# commands waiting" incrementing each time.

Computer has plenty of horsepower, usually uses Com5 for that port at 115200 baud. That setting still works just fine from Prointerface, and I suspect if i uninstall this version and reinstall the new version, that would also work.

Any ideas?

I cannot get the RepetierHost v1.00 for Linux to run. After sh configureFirst.sh everything looks fine with the usual message ... "no need to add permissions", but the application will not start. The desktop link tries, but fails- just a flash on the screen. From a terminal mono RepetierHost.exe gives a SIGABRT error. That is after apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on Lubuntu and several deletions and reinstalls of the RepetierHost software. the link is in /usr/bin, so script seems to have done some work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Greetings!

Can you tell me how to set the Repetier firmware (0.83) up so that a "Home" command (G28) will home the machine in the following order: Z-X-Y?
I would like the extruder to home before the other axis.

Mcrostepping / scaling problem (no replies)

So i'm using repetier software in my delta but i have problems with X_MAX_LENGTH, Y_MAX_LENGTH and Z_MAX_LENGTH. Max length shoud be the distance between the hotend
and the platform when the printer is at its home position in mm. My distance is 404mm but when i turn microstepping on (16 steps) every print is like 6 times bigger and i only can set max length to 56 becouse higher values would destroy my hotend (hotend hitting bottom). Is this normal? What to do to have normal prints?

Gcode into Repetier? newbie (5 replies)

Hi All,

i am looking to start using Repetier. (Currently I am using Pronterface wit pré sliced files).

I seem not to be able to load a Gcode file and put it on the build plate.
(So I mean, not slicing by Repetier, but loading an already sliced file as GCODE, not STL)

I can load an STL file but that is not what I seek.

How should I do that ?

Thanks Thomas

Hello,
I'm currently using Repetier V1.0 (I had this same issue with the version before this one and an older version. I was hoping the more current version would fix it.), with a Solidoodle 4 printer.

The issue I'm having is that when I hit print the printer does not respond. I can manually move the extruder and bed as well as get it to respond with other settings and commands, it's only
when I hit start that the printer does not respond properly.
I'm having this issue with different prints so it's not centralized to one specific item. Is there any way at all this problem can be fixed?

Y Endstop not functioning - software bug? (no replies)

I am running 0.91 and I have used the configurator to build my configuration.h

All axis's move in the correct direction, but I have having issues with Y hitting the endstop and not stopping. (Read on please before commenting)

Y=0 is with the carriage moved all the way to the back and at that point, it hits the endstop (and doesn't stop).

On the LCD display while watching the actual Y position, you can see that the Endstop has been sensed correctly and you can manually trigger the y=0 endstop and watch it turn on and off. This tells me that we have the pullups correctly configured, connected to the correct port on the board and the switch is working as designed. (Z and X are working correctly)

Yet, Repetier on the Ramps board does not turn off the Y motor when it validly hits the end stop and you can see it hit the endstop on the LCD readout.

This seems like a software bug, yet I am sure that many have this working.

RH Cura vs stand alone Cura (2 replies)

Hi

I just started using RH version 1.0.1.

Using the imbedded RH Cura slicer, my part came out horrible with globs of extrusions. The extrusion widths and heights were nothing close to the settings I inputed. I then sliced the same part with the same settings in the latest version of the stand alone Cura. I saved and loaded that g-code in RH and the part came out nice and clean, as expected. I've been using the stand alone Cura and RH for a while now and have been happy with the results so I'm stoked RH has added it to their slicing option except, they don't work the same.

Is the RH imbedded Cura slicer supposed to print the same as the stand alone Cura version? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Robert
