I just purchased a new computer. How do I get everything changed over to the new on from the old one.

I am running Repitier, Slic3r, Arduino mega 2560, Marlin firmware.

Can't seem to get the right files to the new computer. Can anyone help please??

Thanks for trying to end my frustrations!!

Save your configuration out of Slic3r then load back into the new PC after you reinstall Slic3r.

Bob,

You will also need to transfer the Marlin files from your old PC so you can retain the printer settings to reload with the Arduino IDE if needed.

You can get the other software from the links below:

Repetier Host

Arduino IDE

Many Many thanks for your replies. As it turned out I just needed to load the Marlin drivers and change the com port.

Thanks again.

Are you saying you are running an obsolete and unsecure operating system on a brand new computer?

Built the computer myself. Already had XP so that's what I'm using. It is dedicated to the printer. Don't really need all the bell and whistles to run the printer.
