RH Error when slicing (1 reply)

This is about Repetier-Host.
I installed 1.0.1 I had 1.0 (there was no uninstall for 1.0).
I run windows 8.1 but have tried the win 7 compatibility mode.
Step 1) I loaded a number of STL files (one at a time to test).
Step 2) Then I ran the slic3r or the CuraEngine.
Step 3) Both slicers fail with the messages:
First I get the message:
“At least one object is outside the printable area. Abort slicing?”
I select “No” it continues the this error shows up and kill the process:
“Error starting postprocessor:System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreatePostprocess(String file)”
Any ideas?

Object moving when slicing (no replies)

I typically use the stand alone Cura to slice, and then load and print in Repetier. But I couldn't figure out how to do 5 extruders in the stand alone version of Cura.

So... I pulled up the embedded version of Cura in Repetier and set up my extruders, etc. I can get my files opened and set the five extruders and everything looks good in the object placement. Then I go to slicer Pick cura, and then hit the slice. My Problem is that it positions the object at 0,0. (in the corner of my build area, not in the middle). I go back to the object placement and it is in the middle, but in the preview it is on the edge (3/4 of the print is outside of the area). I think it's a setting, but I can't find a place to set the print area in the embedded Cura (I found it in the Repetier Host).

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm running a I3 printer with Ramps 1.4 and Repetier Host 1.0 Firmware 0.91r7. With a second hotend installed there is a constant 0°C reading for the temperature. It's configured to Temp 2, Heater 2. The heater is working (outch!) but I don't have the target temperature curve as well. Hope someone can help!

#define EXT0_TEMPSENSOR_TYPE 8
#define EXT0_TEMPSENSOR_PIN TEMP_0_PIN
#define EXT0_HEATER_PIN HEATER_0_PIN

#define EXT1_TEMPSENSOR_TYPE 8
#define EXT1_TEMPSENSOR_PIN TEMP_2_PIN
#define EXT1_HEATER_PIN HEATER_2_PIN
(TEMP1 is the heated bed)

Hello all,

I haven't yet bought my printer but I've created my model in Sketchup then exported to STL I'm currently trying to get something sensible out of the virtual printer in Repetier. The Gcode view looks fine but when I run it to the virtual printer all the curved columns are a complete mess. I assume the virtual printer is a good representation of what it will come out like.

I am on slic3r 1.17 stable. The model was created in Sketchup and exported to STL using the sketch up plug in. For the curved columns I made sure each radius has an adequate number of segments to prevent faceting. Accutrans reports all the meshes as watertight and manifold. I've even run it through netfabb cloud, yet although it reduces the file size substantially I still get the same I get a horrible looking virtual print. Please see images.

[attachment 38374 GCode.png]Gcode view (Nice, what I would expect)
[attachment 38375 Printpanel.png] Print panel view (The perimeters on the curved surfaces seem to be a mess. Also happens with 0% infill)
[attachment 38376 SolarController18ForReprap_fixed.stl] Stl file

I've tried it with less perimeters, more perimeters. 0% fill. 0.1 layer height 0.4 layer height nothing seems to make a difference.

Any advice would be much appreciated. I really thought i'd designed this well for printing.

Update. I just tried a 5mm cylinder and it does exactly the same thing

Can't connect after upgrade to V1.01 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04LTS (1 reply)

Everything was working fine on my Ubuntu 13.04 LTS system with Repetier V0.95. I upgraded my OS from 13LTS to 14.04LTS and then Repetier v0.95 started crashing as soon as I clicked the 'Connect' button. So, I upgraded to Repetier V1.01. Now Repetier comes up fine, but the Connect button does nothing.

I see 'Disconnected: printrbot' in the status window at the bottom
In Config/Printer Settings, I can select my previous 'printrbot' connection configuration which is:

Serial Connection
/dev/ttyACM0
250000
Autodetect
DTR high->low
Send emergency...
127

>groups shows my username is part of the 'dialout' group

logfile is enabled, but empty

Selecting the 'default' printer doesn't solve the problem.

About every third time I try to connect, Repetier crashes. Nothing in the log.

I launched Repetier from the command line using './repetierHost' and when I clicked on the Connect button I got an error message "couldn't set desired baud rate 128000. Forcing set baudrate failed". However, when I looked back at the printer settings, the connection rate now showed 128000.

Then I manually changed the baud rate back to 250000 and clicked on Connect again. This time I got an error "baud_base (1152000) does not allow setting custom baud rate"

So, I manually changed to 115200, and now the Connect icon changes to green, and the status line says "connected: printrbot", but I movement commands don't seem to work in manual mode

I see "XX Command Waiting" at the top of the manual window, where XX keeps growing as I try things on the manual panel.

If I disconnect and reconnect, I immediately get '7 Command Waiting' and then the number increments every time I try to send a command (like enabling the extruder heater)

I disconnected, then power cycled the printrbot. Then I clicked on Connect again, and this time I got a bunch of error messages on the command line as follows:

"Opening serial failed on second try: System.IO.IOException: Device or resource busy at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream.ThrowIOException()"
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream..ctor(System.String portName, Int32 baudRate,Int32 databits, Parity parity, ....)
...
...
at System.IO.Ports. SerialPort.Open()
...
at RepetierHost.connector.SerialConnector.Connect


Unhandled Exception:
System.IO.IOException: Bad file descriptor
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream.ThrowIOException()
....

Same behavior with the 'default' printer. I can get it to show 'Connected: default', but no commands make it through.

BTW, I noticed that the 'Printer Settings" selection is disabled under the 'Config' menu item when the printer is 'Connected', it IS NOT disabled under the 'Printer Settings' (gear icon) menu item on the far right-hand side of the main window. IOW, I can change connection settings WHILE THE PRINTER IS CONNECTED - oops!


To reiterate, I have been happily using V0.95 and Ubuntu 13.04LTS for some time now, but the combination of the upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04LTS and Repetier V1.0.1 has me dead in the water. Any help/clues would be appreciated.

Repetier/Crura config bugs (no replies)

Just trying the new Repetier Host.
Two apparent bugs and a suggestion on the config for curaEngine
1. The gcode defaults editor (fourth tab, right hand side) randomly doesn't refresh properly.
It especially faults if using ctrl-Z to undo a change or ctrl-C to paste, and after doesn't refresh correctly to display the 'actual' text (this can be forced by clicking on another tab, or another text file (eg clicking from start-gcode to end-gcode and back) .

2. Following editing and saving the resultant start and end sections don't seem to replace the old ones until Repetier is closed and reloaded.


Suggestions
1. The filament tab on the same config page should be just another tab included with the other print tabs, that would get rid of one extra page, and put it in a more logical/easily noticed location.
2. Include the @ repetier codes in the help text to the left of the gcode edit tab (where the examples for {bed} etc are listed
@info message - When the host reaches this line, the text will be printed into the log file as info message.
@pause message - Pause print and display dialog box with message
@hide - hide display of following code/print actions from print preview
@show - Reenables visualization disabled by @hide.
@isathome - equivalent of G92 X0 Y0 Z0 for repetierHost (ie allows you to manually trick repetier to believer the printer has been homed)
@sound - play the file set in printer preferences
... (and any others I don't know about)
Cheers David

[Host] + [Server] via TCP Connection? (2 replies)

Hello @repetier,
I had some time this weekend to install and configure Repetier-Server and downloaded and installed the Repetier-Host 1.02 windows version. After a small update in the small plugin I write for some extra controls (2 new interface methods to implement, nothing major) I was up and running with the new Repetier-Host version.

Repetier-Server was a nice experience as I am not too well versed in Linux, but was looking for something useful to do with my Raspberry Pi. I started from scratch with Raspbian, and got Repetier-Server compiled and running according to the install instructions. I was able to successfully send commands and gcode via the browser...awesome!

I am wondering if Repetier-Server on the Pi can act as a facilitator for the newly implemented Repetier-Host TCP connection? Currently, Repetier-Server is on port 8080 as in the default configuration. But I am assuming that does not mean that my printer will magically be seen on port 8080 at the set IP address (well I assumed and it did not work). Is there any facility in Repetier-Server to set up printers to be seen from the Repetier-Host? I apologize if I have overlooked anything that would be an obvious answer to my question.

Thanks!

Can't load .obj files in Repetier Host software 1.0.1 (no replies)

I'm using RepetierHost from version 0.9, and usually I prefer to import .obj files, because they are a default export format also for Art of Illusion, which can export .stl files only with a plugin.
I've updated my Ubuntu system from 12.04 LTS with RepetierHost 0.9.5 to 14.04 LTS with RepetierHost 1.0.1, but now if I try to import a file in .obj file format, nothing is happening.
It seems that the new RepetierHost is not able to import .obj files, but it has them in its menu.
The simplest file I've used is attached.
Is there someone which can help me?
Is it a bug?
Please help.
Thank you
Claudio

Hi!

I downloaded the linux version of Repetier Host, the V1.0.1, but when I set Cura Engine I get the "CuraEngine not Found".

I checked that CuraEngine32 and CuraEngine64 are in plugin folder and that them are executable. I executed them manually and work fine.

Any idea?

User thermistor tables in Repetier firmware (1 reply)

I thought I had the user temperature table working in Repetier firmware, it looks like it IS working on my extruder. I had added the table for thermistor #7 from marlin in the configuration table, but I just noticed that I the number of temperatures was wrong (the table is 58 pairs long, I had the number at 67. It was copied from a post on this forum.) and YET it compiled. I corrected the number, and I also added another table for thermistor #10 from marlin (I just bought an aluhotend). What bothers me, is that with the new table added, the sketch length IS THE SAME! If I remove both tables, or change the ext0 sensor type back to zero, the sketch length remains the same! This indicates to me that the added tables are being ignored by the compiler. BTW I'm using Arduino 1.0.5 on Linux.

X and Y make hyperbolic moves (Rostock newbie) (1 reply)

Hi, I just finished the mechanical build of my Rostock Mini, and am trying to get it working.

I uploaded the repeater firmware as provided by 3dprinterczar and this happens :

1)

A move in x or Y direction will have a hyperbolic shape, with the head at lowest point in the middle. So at centre platform it is low, either direction it will rise.
Would that be a build error of something to tweak in the software ? When I move the Z- direction, all axis go evenly up or down.

I have made the rods reasonably equal, (as in definitely within the mm range).

Advice is appreciated.
