Repetier Host Enqueueing "G28", "G29", "G1 Z3" Commands in middle of Gcode for Unknown Reason

ellis83

Hi all,

I'm using Repetier host to deliver Gcode to my 3D printer. I'm sending fairly simple Gcode generated by a python script with move and extrude commands. If I save the Gcode to an SD card and run it it works as it should, but if I add it to the Gcode Editor in Repetier host and run it, the printer starts running the Gcode, but will enque the following three commands in the middle of the print:

echo:enqueueing "G28"

echo:enqueueing "G29"

echo:enqueueing "G1 Z3"

It is also spitting out the following errors in those loops:

Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: 97

Resend: 98

I don't know why it is doing this, but it does it generally at the same spots in the print (although not always depending on if I have homed the printer before trying to run this Gcode.

When it finally stops looping G28, G29, and G1 Z3 it is at the home position, but the position in Repetier Host becomes the end position of the print I am sending via Gcode even though it's not at that position.

I am using a Korean 3D printer from Clone 3D, their K200 model. I also tried running code generated from my python script on a Monoprice Mini V2 and it works just fine on there. Originally, it was doing bed autoleveling in this loop as well (the G29 command) but I disabled that in the firmware (marlin).

Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting these G28, G29, and G1 Z3 commands in the middle of my print? I hope I'm missing something fairly simple.

Thanks!

First make sure your code does NOT contain line numbers. Host will add them as only host knows what current and next number should be.

We do not add any commands in host on our own. We add start/end script if they contain gcode, so check if you had them there. These look much like start gcode you could have.

Error messages without full context are useless. You need a log with commands and ack as well to see how the error happens.

The start and end code are empty in Repetier Host.

Also you have a code that is named homing there is no homing in your code. You also see that we do not send homing to firmware. So my best guess is that your firmware decided it is time to home so moves are executed as expected.
