Does the current Repetier-host version support some sort of keyboard shortcuts so you can jog the printer head? What I mean is something like Mach3 where you can jog using the arrow keys for X/Y and PgUp/PgDn for the Z axis. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,204894#msg-204894 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 09:22:17 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,332422#msg-332422 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,332422#msg-332422
With the new plugin framework it's possible - and I wrote one yesterday. Feedback is appreciated!

only disadvantige is the weight of 140gr which might influence the bed height with springs. You can of course use any other switch that switches reliably at the same point regardless of the exact point where the extruder hits the surface. For this solution you get option that you need to hit the button once to start probing. That way you get time to position it beneath the extruder. Or you use a builtin z-probe with a switch.]]> repetier Repetier Thu, 16 May 2013 02:46:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,209093#msg-209093 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,209093#msg-209093 fma Repetier Thu, 16 May 2013 01:29:32 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,209004#msg-209004 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,209004#msg-209004
From the server side you will never solve the buffer problem. New commands always have to get to the fron of the queue. Direct printer buttons could be used to add new steps, but that is not really an elegant solution. The next firmware will have a z-probe and autolevel function, which should solve the problem in a much more consistent way. With a precise switch like the ones used in cnc machines for tool changes to measure the new height, you can even use it without a special mechanic.]]> repetier Repetier Wed, 15 May 2013 16:58:27 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208986#msg-208986 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208986#msg-208986 fma Repetier Wed, 15 May 2013 15:53:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208978#msg-208978 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208978#msg-208978 MPower Repetier Wed, 15 May 2013 15:31:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208975#msg-208975 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208975#msg-208975
That's why I was thinking about 2 dedicated hard keys directly binded to the motor pulse...]]> fma Repetier Wed, 15 May 2013 15:24:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208780#msg-208780 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208780#msg-208780
G92 Z0.1

then go to the current z height set previously

G1 T0.2

That should lift the extruder 0.1mm for 0.2mm height set.

I haven't tested it, but I'm quite sure it sould work that way.]]> repetier Repetier Wed, 15 May 2013 03:09:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208761#msg-208761 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,208761#msg-208761
The idea is to send steps to the motor whithout using the planer or so, as it is only to adjust the zero position, in fact.

This could also be with 2 push buttons directly connected to unused inputs; the firmware would just have to monitor these keys, and send a few steps at each transition...]]> fma Repetier Wed, 15 May 2013 01:35:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,205139#msg-205139 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,205139#msg-205139
About the extra settings tab, as long as there is a config with key mappings and all other goodies, I myself don't have a problem with it. It would be great to have some customizable G-Code shortcuts. I was using Pronterface before Repetier and I really miss those personalized cute buttons I was creating there.]]> MPower Repetier Fri, 03 May 2013 12:35:49 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,205135#msg-205135 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,205135#msg-205135
Changing speed over duration is not possible with the firmwares. Path planning, communication, buffering add a delay. But I will experiment with it. Perhaps it works at least until the set jerk speed as there is no path planning involved.]]> repetier Repetier Fri, 03 May 2013 12:18:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,204909#msg-204909 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,204909#msg-204909
I myself would like a settings tab to set this up, instead of having them hardcoded, such as:
-jog distance normal
-jog distance shift key
-X/Y/Z +/- key bindings
However, if this is too much work, a setup like you mentioned is also welcome, of course.

Another path to go is jogging exactly like Mach3, based on how long you keep the key pressed and the feedrate you select (Repetier-host already has that Feedrate scrollbar that is effective during printing, but not during jogging). But this path needs a few extra lines of code, compared to the preset distance version).]]> MPower Repetier Thu, 02 May 2013 16:48:59 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,204900#msg-204900 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,204900#msg-204900 repetier Repetier Thu, 02 May 2013 16:24:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,204894#msg-204894 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,204894,204894#msg-204894 MPower Repetier Thu, 02 May 2013 16:00:45 -0400
