1) option for head light, ie fixed lighting relative to users view angle. because when i rotate an object, specifically in gcode filament view, i got dark area not lit when i try to look into the detail of the extruded object. with head light enabled, maybe 45 degree right top of our head, maybe this can solve the dark area. 2) option to disable bed (cross grid) view, since sometime i need to vieby shafri - Repetier
didnt read the whole thread... but as repetier said, check the log directory in c:\documents and settings\\ (for winXP) i encountered 2 occasions of this.1st one is due to wrong setting/config of slic3r hence it quit or didnt produce output gcode, 2nd occasion is skeinforge outputting different output gcode file name to what repetier expects, i can find the gcode output in log dir, move it to anoby shafri - Repetier
now thank you this issue got into my attention. luckily i found out and installed later driver for my 6yrs old ati radeon hd4650, though it installed as hd4000, but now i'm at opengl 2.1.8870. VBO is now possible and repetier now render at satisfactory speed. thanks repertier and good luck.by shafri - Repetier
WillAdam, yes it currently recognizes G0, G1, and G92 only, the rest will be tagged as Unknown ("U") thats what i saw most in slic3r et al generated gcode. hence gcode with arc command will not render correctly. if arc command is common in reprap printing please let me know what printer model, firmware, software host and slicer that support it. i guess its not supported since the slicer i have wiby shafri - General
i clicked VBO (fastest) the bottom status text saying "error drawing 3d view, unable to find entry point glGenBuffers in dll opengl32.dll". my opengl version is 1.1.0 i attached the snapshot of the error report. i only can select Arrays (medium) in draw method, but it still slow. fwiw, i'm using old WinXPby shafri - Repetier
i suspect you are swiss or spain? type with windows setting treating comma as decimal right? i will refine it and upload the fixed version asap. edit: i've made the comma decimal fix. uninstall, download again from above link and reinstall V0.0.2 BETA, it should be good for half the globe that use comma as decimal point, a fix thats worth the time. just a reminder: after opening the gcode file,by shafri - General
i'll try to see the problem later, if you can provide the file it will be easy for me to see. gtg ttyl.by shafri - General
its in the OP, here again... about free!ship i believe i have tried it when designing a real boat long time ago, but iirc it didnt output solid format, its mesh format hence cannot be subtracted in AutoCAD, i have many many craft art on the hull body that need to be subtracted, look closely at the first attached picture.by shafri - General
haha soa is my abbrev name, its also can be State Of Art if too much complaints maybe i have to change company nameby shafri - General
yes i think "crazy print perfectionists" is the right word jolly for what i have in mind the program is for. A2, the problem is i'm designing the boat using AutoCAD that cannot do variable radius fillet or lofting on the outer hull body, so i cant get the shape i want, i'll attach a picture. i cant model in mesh since i need artistic solid subtraction and some union there, AutoCAD can do it niceby shafri - General
glad you reply. sorry whats the VBO? i can see the other softwares have no problem running OpenGL in my machine, no need VBO. i will be glad if you can provide the link, thanks.by shafri - Repetier
i'm inviting fellow developers to give comment and critic to my newly built software the name as in the title... cheers.by shafri - Developers
i posted on a request for available GCode Editor around in but very cold respond. As suggested, i'm posting this in General section even though this is software specific. Anyway in the mean time i've made my GCode Editor and by doing hard selection, i named it RapR3D Visual GCode Editor. Since (i think) its ready for BETA testing, i've made it available for download at i hope some of you will tby shafri - General
Please Repetier-Host i know you are free. But can you enable OpenGL or DirectX in Windows? for not crawling graphics. even my small model few layers slice only is crawling on my 2.6GHz machine. Please i hope you are listening.by shafri - Repetier
no answer? or is it very few people lurk in software/experimental section? shall i report in another section?by shafri - Experimental

and fwiw, dc motor and ribbon strip that you saw in the printer, the ribbon strip... its not necessarily for positioning control, it probably is but probably not for super precision positioning. the ribbon strip can also be used to clock the fpga inside to squirt the nozzle who knows? whats missing in your post is the stepper motors thats also inside there working in sych with the dc motor, usualby shafri - Reprappers
i'm currently building one as i searched google few days back with no luck. i saw some request from others as well (somewhere 3-10 years back post) but i guess it should not in the "workflow"?. well, hope is still not diminished to find the good one. objective.... to final touch up gcode generated file from 3d printing software such as slic3r et al. capable of points edit move/delete/insert. inteby shafri - Experimental
i'm with A2 whatever excuse you give... and my 2cnts, simon ford probaly is a paid commentator (well you know all these prof they got deals with factories or maybe stratasys? not sure dont have proof) reprap is slow where stratasys can complete in 2nds? probably correct but well i'd rather $500 printer than putting all the things that i have on stake to get @200K printer that can output the sameby shafri - General
the motivation came out while googling printer hanging problem (mains switching noise or spike) but it turned out i was brought to this little nice blog... so to test the limit, i made the model comparing to our "dime" and produce. i believe her report is now obsolete (1 year ago) or she hasnt made a good tuning or wrong material. if you happen to know her, i'll be glad if you can pass the wordby shafri - General

since my head cant understand this multiplier feature, i use simple logic. if SW extrude too little, i reduce filament diameter in setting, hence SW will be fooled into thinking it need to extrude more filament, vice versa. same with extruder hole diameter, if SW make solid fill but visible gaps in betwen, i'll reduce the hole diameter setting, hence SW should reduce the gap... your 1.75mm filameby shafri - Repetier
i just bought a printer based on prusa i3 but chinese clone. i changed FW to my modified marlin. using repertier as controller. it also hanged randomly but i figure out something with noise and mains switching or spike. my solution is power the mcu from USB (PC) by changing jumper on board, but all motors and heater are still from built in printer's SMPS PSU. the usb cable i wind around a ferriteby shafri - Repetier
i dont know where should i put it, i hope someone can pass the word... i just bought a 3d printer and used repetier-host as controlling SW. on several occasion during printing, the COM line is disconnected of hanged making "printing on progress" terminated. in another occasion, some switching happened on the mains line cause the sanguino board got hanged too, wasting precious amount of half printby shafri - Developers
