Printrun MAC OS X Resume
January 02, 2014 04:48PM
Hello Everybody,
I just downloaded the newest Printrun for Mac OS X, The one from Nov '13.


But my problem is that I can't resume prints: I can pauze, I can restart, but after I have paused is, there is no possibility to resume the print. There is no button.
Pressing restart will make the whole print start over again.

Am I the only person having this problem or has somebody found a solution?

Thanks for your help

Kind regards,
Natascha

The best advice I can give you is to trash printrun (AKA pronterface) and download Repetier Host and life will be better for you :-)

I am afraid I will have to agree with tmorris on this one. Repetier IMO is much nicer than Pronterface on Mac.

Same here, pronterface was nice for me to connect for the first time and just try out the steppers, but soon after that I always step into Repetier to do the printing. Nowadays I even only use Repetier for slicing only because I can place the items in a 3D grid and after that have Slic3r work with one of the presets (that I cannot find in Slic3r itself, which is why I use Repetier) and save it to my SD card and voila, printing already!

Pronterface however never gave me a problem before, but it was not intuitive to work with. The only thing that Pronterface did for me for a long time was connect to my Sanguino on my other printer while Repetier couldn't connect to my Sanguino! But then I set the baud to 250000 and now it works in both softwares. Deleted pronterface meanwhile.

Thanks everybody for your help,
I downloaded Repetier which I had not heard of before.

It has many functions which Pronterface doesn't have.

I was wondering though, how can I see the estimated printing time before I print, it only seems to show up when I click on print?

I am not sure you can. To be honest I have never wanted to look for it
