3D view suddenly freezing

I've noticed that just today the 3D view of models freezes on my laptop. I never had the problem before. Also, my desktop copy doesn't have this problem.

Also when I slice a model on my laptop, the preview of the model is now blank.

This is the log when I open Repetier Host on my laptop:

Also, the 3D image, before it freezes, looks very unusual now - it's full of extra lines, and seems to sparkle when I zoom in - until the image freezes.

Is it something to do with OpenGL?

  • To save prints we reduce quality when updating gets too slow. Lowest quality is lines instead on cylindrical approximation and that looks in deed a bit strange. That should only happen if you have fairly large models. Such large models are better printed using the repetier-server which does not slow down on bigger objects. The host can also be used to print over repetier-server, so your normal workflow can keep nearly identical. Just disable filament preview for big models in host before it exceeds ram available.
  • Thanks Repetier.

    What makes this even more strange is that I tried it again this morning, and the problems are now gone. 

    The 3D view no longer freezes when I zoom / rotate an object, and the preview of the object after slicing is again visible.

    So everything is back to working as it should be again - and I didn't do anything other than leave my computer alone. 

    Maybe I was stressing it out and it needed time to "cool down". LOL
