  • It was something to do with Z homing or min/max.Many thanks for assistance.
  • "Repetier Host Solidoodle version 0.85" does not want to uninstall completely in win7.Some of the settings/defaults show up in the new install of RH.Could this be somehow linked to my issue?
  • Thanks, will take it over to marlin forum.Dumb question of day, Is home = zero = origin = endstop location?
  • Finally all axis's and endstops are working properly in Marlin and homes correctly in manual control in RepetierHost. When running a sliced part the printer homes and heaters heat but none of the axis;s actually move anywhere. The extruder however, …
  •  Ramps1.4 wiring instructions show endstops to XY and Z min. Should that be XY max and Z min for this printer (and in the firmware)?Thanks.
  • The problem is homing the xy carriage, probably a rookie mistake...I would not ask for help had I not tried for days to fix it (in both RH and in configuration.h.) XY should home towards the back and right.. RHost manual control drives the carriage …
  • I did change host printer endstop settings from min to max (and to 0 and back)
  • Apparently (duh) I left out the library for the display, hopefully that will fix above issue..
  • HelloSo I decided to put the ramps 1.4 kit on my dead solidoodle2 first.Marlin uploaded to the mega, Repetier host says it's connected but there is no manual printer control.The display from the ramps kit illuminates but is unresponsive.Any ideas?Th…
  • Also, will the rotary encoder on a display (like in the kit link above) replace the  (5) "Menu Select" buttons on my CTC printer?
  • Expand-ability is preferable, 2 extruders and a (print?) fan, plus 6 endstops and a spare or two. Later upgrade to step drivers with 1/128 RADDS/RAPS(?)... Is there a # or type or name for a shield with such capabilities?  Have many of your users in…
  • Great info, thanks.Would the kit linked below meet that description (less the 1/128 step drivers)?  http://www.ebay.com/itm/RAMPS-1-4-3D-PRINTER-CONTROLLER-Kit-w-Mega-2560-LCD-smart-controller-5x-A4988-/321977486681?hash=item4af75a8d59:g:tTMAAOSwJb9…
  • Please advise which replacement ramps and board might work best with repetier.A link to a good guide about converting a makerbot would be nice too. Went ahead and made a paypal $20 contribution today. Thanks in advance.
  • RepG has no gcode (toolpath) viewing and I've become dependent on this feature. Would converting this printer to a format that repetier can communicate with be very difficult/expensive? Thanks
