  • "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)

  • 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
