view slicer result

When I installed Repetier Host 1.06 the first time and launched it as the last stage of the install, it loaded the tablet
I was able to slice it with Slic3r and view the picture of each slice layer.
After I exited it and ran it again, I was unable to view the slice result picture even though it generated lots of G code.
What did I screw up?

  • It works fine with CuraEngine, but not Slic3r even though it did once.
  • Go to preview->g-code and check if you have in deed a g-code loaded. If loaded make sure show filament at the top is enabled. If no gcode gets loaded after slicing check the log(disable easy mode, toggle log) and see if slicer produced some messages that it stopped or had problems.
  • Thank you for your reply
    Yes, there was nearly 130000 lines of g-code loaded and toggling show/hide filament made no difference.

    Fixed the problem by going to configuration (for Slic3r) from slicer tab
      on Printer Settings tab changed from My Settings to -default- then saved as My Settings

    What ever I had previously done to My Settings messed it up. I now have it working, but don't know yet what I did.
  • Maybe wrong printer flavour not using E for extrusion.
  • OK. setting G-code flavor to "no extrusion" will create the result I was seeing.
    Thanks
