hey fellas,

I have a RepRapPro Tricolor Mendel that I cant seem to calibrate. There always seems to be one problem or the other.

I was wondering if I can get some help.

Encountered similar issue before, check USB (VCP-Virtual com port) speed, is it at 9600?. try set higher, I solve mine that way.

Hi SW,

I am using Pronterface on Ubuntu and uses skeinforge for slicing. I want to change it to slic3r. but it's not working well.

What program do you use? any recommendations for ubuntu?

I cant seem to get pronterface running on the mac. lots of problems and the custom buttons don't appear on the mac.
