Hello, (sorry to post in skeinforge but there's no folder about replicatorG) I was using replicatorG 27 with mendel driver on my huxley (with modified firmware), all was fine. Today i went to test 31 and it work BUT it doesn't report the temperature anymore (showing 0°c) and the controls from the control panel won't work for setting extruder temperature and moving the extruder (X/Y/Z axes works) By activating "show communication" in the real-time control dialog i can see that it never send M105 code to get temp (the 27 was doing this) nor code to control teh extruder. I try different versions then : - 28 : ok - 29 : temp ok, extruder not moving - 33 : not ok like 31 It's a bug from replicatorG or did i miss something to add in the machine.xml ? I really want to make it work because i need the control panel to work to do pre-print stuff and testing that all is OK. And by the way i want replicatorG 31 for it's skeinforge 47 support ;) Ps : during the print the temperature report is OK, but the estimate remaining time is totally out of control (telling me days for something that print in 12min) but maybe it's my skeinforge profile. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,122042#msg-122042 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 19:04:58 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,129345#msg-129345 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,129345#msg-129345

In principal you are right... However, as my changes are no longer limited to the RepRap5D driver, I'm not sure if they will integrate it or not... but I'll give it a try. For me, and for the others, the easier and faster way was to work with that fork... The next step is to push back the changes... Anyway, that question will be more interesting when the next RepG release appears.]]> mindfab Skeinforge Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:27:50 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,128639#msg-128639 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,128639#msg-128639
Doing that, I have got some decent prints, I did the nickle calibration from thingiverse last night, and it was really good wrt x,y,z dimmensions, so I think the hardware is pretty spot on.

I'm still tweaking a profile for that, have a few issues that I think some more tweeking will fix up, but I am getting there. From that, I can try and understand the skeinforge profile, and see if I can get one working right.

The more experience I have with this, the more it appears to be something wrong with the profiles. I am trying to understand everything and get something that works for me, so I can have reliable printing.

maybe a calibration issue?]]> mindfab Skeinforge Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:06:13 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,128229#msg-128229 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,128229#msg-128229
I was trying to slice things like the 20mm-box, gecko, etc from the print me first and calibration tabs.

I juste dowload your version and test it : it's OK. (i choose the 12-12matic profile)

Can you tell which stl file your customer is trying to slice ?]]> crazytiti Skeinforge Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:18:17 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,127494#msg-127494 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,127494#msg-127494

I've gone throught the same issue, it's a setting you shouldn't set to 0

If you don't want diaphragram at all just set "diaphragm tickness" to 0

I am running RAMPS 1.4 with marlin rc2 firmware.

This is great work you are doing!!!!]]> Adventure Skeinforge Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:46:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126399#msg-126399 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126399#msg-126399 Both temperature readings now get visualized in the control panel, thanks!

The next prob is that both heaters apply ON/OFF or BANG_BANG control, for the bed this is desired
although I'd like to implement some kind of hysteresis (going 5°C below set temperature before switching ON again)
because now the relay switches multiple times when switching ON/OFF and I don't think the coil from the relay really likes this...
But I think that's firmware stuff, isn't it? And thus a job for Traumflug :)
I've gone through the entire firmware (Teacup) but nowhere the BANG_BANG is defined,
so I'd think the normal control strategy would then be PID, but practice proves the opposite...]]> Mendelfanatics Skeinforge Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:25:41 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126376#msg-126376 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126376#msg-126376 mindfab Skeinforge Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:04:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126362#msg-126362 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126362#msg-126362 crazytiti Skeinforge Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:58:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126355#msg-126355 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126355#msg-126355 mindfab Skeinforge Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:30:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126310#msg-126310 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126310#msg-126310
With an older (2010) FiveD firmware I now get both extruder and bed temperature readings from your RepG 34 Beta,
but with the latest Teacup firmware configured for my Gen3 electronics I only get the extruder temp,
the bed temp remains 0°C.. And I do get both temperature readings with Pronterface,
so Teacup is reporting both, but RepG doesn't monitor them.]]> Mendelfanatics Skeinforge Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:38:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126205#msg-126205 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,122042,126205#msg-126205

looks like a classpath error... where did you get the compiled version?

I've added a fix for the build time estimation ...

Feel free to get the new version from github... [github.com]

Btw. I had a look at the issue with the fan, the old fan code has been commented out due to a rewrite ... Might be that I'll fix that also...

Several files, the RepRap5D driver, the controllpanel.java (in ui), extruderpanel.java(ui), and some others... I think they simply forgotten to test all functions of the 5D driver...

You can use git diff command to show all changes that I have done... As a site note, some of my changes are also only quick fixes to make that version working for us, as it seems that they are rewritting a lot...

Thats right, I haven't changed that because RepG uses this (sometimes) to determine wheather its a stepper or a DC Motor...

What is still not working is the estimation of the build time, I need a reason to fix that :)]]> mindfab Skeinforge Sat, 24 Mar 2012 18:14:44 -0400
