connection problem between repetier and Cura 4.2.1

yuan

i am trying to connect these two, but always have connection problem, tried IP, server connection, neither worked.

Repetier

What are you connecting here? Host has no function to connect to cura 4.2.1 so you are doing something not supported.

Well, I have ultimaker 3, and i downloaded cura 4.2.1 on my laptop, and now i want to edit G-code and control the 3D printer instently with my g code...so i dontloaded repterier host but it doesnt connect :(
i put in IP and port number, it tells me the target machine fails to respond.

Repetier

If they have a 1:1 forwarding port it might work. The server can connect to a TCP port and communicate over this the same as with serial console. From their page I see these ports get used:

5353: Discovery

80: Printer control

8080: Camera feed

Not sure which would be used e.g. by cura or if they have a special ultimaker only solution. Would just try all 3 with your printers ip and see if one manages to connect. I guess 80 will be some web interface to control so I'd bet on 5353 also discovery might be anything.

Where did you find port port 9066?
