Three Issues I have had
I have been using Repetier-Server on my raspberry pi 3 with 7" touch screen for a few weeks now and I have had three problems and or possibly bugs.
1 - Using the prebuilt raspberry pi image sometimes the 7" screen will time out and won't wake back up with a touch. This was annoying enough that I installed Raspbian and setup Repetier-Server and setup the UI in Kiosk mode. I haven't had the screen timeout issue using this method.
2 - I have three printers which I have been using with Repetier-Server. A Prusa I3 MK2, Wanaho Duplicator 6, and Tevo Black Widow. It seems if I run two prints in a row with the Tevo Black Widow it isn't running my entire startup script located in the gcode file on the second print. If I cancel and restart the print it will work then fail on the next print.
3 - I have setup samba on the raspberry pi and save my gcode to a folder on the pi. This makes it quick to import gcode from that folder when printing on Repetier-Server. One of these prints I imported and didn't wait for the preview image as usually takes a while. Well for some reason it didn't end up importing all the layers. Only about 30 percent was imported and unfortunately I didn't find out till the next morning with an entire bed of partially printed parts. The gcode from the import directory was complete but for some reason it didn't import all layers. I have only had this happen once so far. It was fine after a second import.
Could there be anything that I have done wrong that could be causing these issues?
