  • ok.. If i use the OEM files , I can compile in Arduino 1.0.2 and 1.0.3, i get an error in 1.8.5 (seems to be a general error). If i import the OEM config.h file into the tool, and do nothing other than download the config files, i get the Temp_3 not…
  • Am i actually working against myself here? (would not be the first time).. This all started when I was trying to print a plane from 3dlabprint.com. I started to watch real close when the first layer was being printed, a 0,0 it seemed to print ok, bu…
  • sorry... i completely mis-read your last comment about .92 not having support for the distortion mapping in cartesian printers. I believe i may need to get more familiar with what these files are actually asking for. I cannot seem to get this to com…
  • Does version .92 have working distortion correction for cartesian printers?
  • is it possible that this was originally compiled to not include all messages?  When I run M115 this is what I get Send: N12128 M115*46Recv: ok 12128Recv: FIRMWARE_NAME:Repetier_0.92.9 FIRMWARE_URL:https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Firmware/ P…
  • It’s almost as if the upload is not making any changes. How do I know if the upload made any actual changes to the printer?
  • ok.. i changed the distortion map settings in the config.h file there were 2 lines... #define DISTORTION_CORRECTION 0 .. i changed to #define DISTORTION_CORRECTION 1 and    "distortionCorrection": "0", that i changed to    "distortionCorrection": "1…
  • where in pins.h would i find these variables? I am not familiar with programming these boards so i dont know what to change here to be correct.
  • Wouldn't the E2 motor and temp actually be the third extruder? The board shown in this pic just above the LCD interface. Since the extruders start at #0, wouldn't Ext0 actually be #1, ext1 being #2 and ext2 be #3??
  • I believe it is the ATmega2560 control board and RAMPS 1.4 There are 3 extruders and 3 sockets on the board Here is a pics of the main board
  • ok.. after several attempts, i was able to use Arduino version 1.0.2 to check the files that were sent by the manufacturer and seen that they "should" upload as they are. So i opened the config tool, left the firmware at .92 (just to try to get this…
  • ok.. i thought i was getting this correct, when i try to upload the firmware, i get the error  "Temp_3_pin was not declared in this scope" not sure where to look for this. i went over the config again and everything looks like its configured.. tho…
  • Ok.. I now have the config files for the printer. When I load it into the config tool, there is no option for the distortion map, can I just add lines to the file and re-load it in the config tool to recimpile? Would the option show up?
  • Nevermind, i think i found the answer in a different post, i need to recompile with distortion correction enabled. Ive never compile the firmware for this machine, should prove an interesting experiment.
  • When I issue a G33 after the G32 S2 runs, I get an unknown command. This is using FIRMWARE_NAME:Repetier_0.92.9
  • Yep, I set the z probe height in EEPRom, moved z up 10 then re-homed. i was able to adjust the measurements to make the nozzle not crash through the bed, but that process was a hit / miss deal and seemed less than accurate. The bed coating is 0 (i'v…
  • Does the new version of Cura work? I have been having a hell of a time getting something I can use here. I have an HE3D (with 3 extruders) that i am using. I had to create a new profile that had 1 extrude because I could not import the printing prof…
  • Try a different SD Card, the card that came with some of these units did not work. I read that on the Tevo forum, I have an HE3D (tevo clone) that did the same thing, New card fixed the issue.

  • I have been looking through the different slicers to see what i can make happen for a prime/wipe tower.  I can only get it to actually show up in the interface if i use the Slic3r prusa edition, but it shows only 1 tower. I have 3 extruders on this …
  • yep.. that was it. There is an ooze prevention setting in slic3r, as soon as i uncheck that, it stopped printing the skirt all the way up.. THANK YOU again.
  • Ok.. that makes sense. I am using Slic3r..
  • Ok... I changed the slic3r time to "Slow down if layer print time is below" 1 approx second.. That part is obviously taking less than 1 second to print since the bulk of that part is the tower itself, I also added a large fan off to the side of the …
  • Thank you... I re-heated the bed to 60, then with the careful application of my box knife (that blade is too thick), and a few well chosen words of encouragement..  I finally got the parts to come free... Here is what i have!! (yes.. I am quite happ…
  • ok.. success... I still have been unable to get a config for the printer but... I have been fooling with manually adjusting the z probe to get the home and the z0 to be the same place. I have been able to print parts.. THANK YOU to everyone here for…
  • This was out of the box... I just assembled it ( with the z probe), turned it on and have been fighting it ever since... i deleted all of the offsets in the firmware and started back from the start. If have adjusted the probe so that when I home the…
  • The board came preloaded as part of the kit I bought. Does this software have the ability to “get” the current information from the board? There are a lot of settings on the confit tool that I am unsure of... I started to upload the firmware, b…
  • I ran through the config tool, downloaded the complete firmware and associated files. Read through the readme file.  I do not have any arduino boards (never used any of them). The readme file says that if i have EEProm support, the first upload will…
  • I have looked at the config tool, but there are a LOT of settings that I do not understand (or know the actual values for). will the config tool "Read" my printer to collect that information? (like the processor or mother board).??
  • Pk..  Where do i find the always_check_endstops?  I have looked at my firmware and have tried to find it in the repetier-host.. Not sure where to locate this to set it to 0
  • ok... Printer alone, no computer at all... I home the z axis and it drops to where the nozzle just touches the bed... I go to the z axis on the panel and raise it to 2, then back to 0.. 0 is not on the bed...?? I re home the z and the nozzle i…
