Marius

Hi,

I've changed from simply3d the latest version, because of prints hanging in the middle of the process (latest firmware and latest version on simplify3d).

Now I'm on repetier with slic3r both on the latest versions and on a 10 hours print after 40 % Smoothieboard decide to hang because of comunications issues.

Its getting a little bit annoying and I would like some sugestions.

I'm attaching the report and the gcode.

Thank you

Repetier

I assume you are printer over the server? In the server gui you can enable logging of prints. Your print form host ui does not contain the vital informations to analyse the problem. You need the full communication around the time where it happens.

Since it says timeout it means the smoothieboard did not return a "ok" or it got corrupted through communication. In that case print would continue after a timeout, which assumes exactly this so it can continue which does not seem to happen hier except maybe at 18:17:21.983.

The main question is do you have a hardware problem stopping communication or just a communication error that should recover.

Marius

The hardware problem is unlikely to exist.

My asumption is that there is a problem with the communication thus the error. the printing does not resume due to the fact that smoothieboard gets stuck.

But my question is why does this happen on the repetier and doesn't happen on the pronterface.

I do like Repetier server more.

Repetier

A othe ruser had a similar problem with repetier host. When he activated ping pong mod ein printer setting it started to work. So maybe your buffer size does not match the one of smoothie and strange things happen. Try ping pong mode which is what pronterface uses.

neolog

I got the same trouble with ping pong

kr1siss

I know this is late, I had the same problem. Ping Pong mode didn't fix it. What did was lowering the buffer size. I set mine to 24, I suspect it can go as high as 31 or 32, but since 24 works for me, I'm not touching it.

Repetier

Buffer size is also the longest command you can send. Not sur eif thi counts with ping pong a sit has only one command anyway.
