Just trying to understand more about how motions work in Repetier (or any firmware for that matter). So let's say the machine is moving to connect an infill section with a wall in the positive X direction. I have to imagine there are several complicated things going on like: Deceleration Determining where to stop Jerk Calculation Stopping Reversing Direction Acceleration If the machine is worby icius - Repetier
Hello all, I'm printing on an original Mendel and I'm at my wits end.... Here is a picture of my problem: No matter what I do I can't get the infill to connect to the inner wall of this object. The red circle shows just how far away it is. This seems to only be a problem in the X axis direction infill. I have literally spent weeks tweaking, calibrating, checking. My belt is tight, my steby icius - Repetier
Just for kicks I went over to the Slic3r area to see if anyone was having the same problem as me. It seems people are struggling quite a bit with 1.2.9 stable. I went ahead and switched over to 1.2.7 and loaded all of the same settings. Sadly this was not the magic fix I was hoping for. The issue remains.by icius - Printing
Thanks for the reply. I've actually gone back through the whole machine both hardware and software and rechecked everything. I was quite a bit more scientific this time around. I have also switched over from Cura to Slic3r. I have performed 17 test runs so far to try and dial the machine in. There is one persistent problem throughout that I can't seem to get rid of no matter how hard I trby icius - Printing
Thanks for the quick reply. The gui for Slic3r in Windows that I remember is actually the Slic3r gui . In order to get this working on my fresh Linux Mint 17 install I had to do the following additional steps: sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libwx-perl libmodule-build-perl libnet-dbus-perl libexpat1-dev (not sure if that one was entirely necessary) sby icius - Repetier
I recently made the switch from Windows on my printing laptop to Linux Mint 17 64 Bit. I am thoroughly confused by the Repetier Host I downloaded for this OS. The only slicing engine now seems to be CuraEngine? I swear I had Slic3r on the Windows version. I decided to start from scratch again and renamed my RepetierHost directory as well as my ~/.local/share/RepetierHost directory. I alsoby icius - Repetier
Hey all, I have an original Mendel with a .40 mm extruder. The past few days I have been tuning and tuning trying to get a really good print quality. At this point I have so many parameters in my head I think I may be getting lost. Here is what I have: Repetier Host 1.5.3 Cura slicer X Axis steps calibrated Y Axis steps calibrated Z Axis steps calibrated Infill shell 1.2 mm Top and Bottoby icius - Printing
Thanks for the quick reply. I found that I had to change STEPPER_HIGH_DELAY to 1 and reduce my Z speeds to 2 mm/s. I reduced acceleration to 50mm/s^3 as well. Now it is working perfectly. I haven't tried setting acceleration back up to 100 yet. Will try that soon.by icius - Repetier
Hello all, I finally got around to finishing a Mendel I had started several years ago and am very close to a first test print. I am using a RAMPS 1.4 Board with Arduino 2560. I am using Repetier 0.92.3 I have Opto Enstops on: X Min Y Min Z Max I am using a mechanical endstop as a z probe hooked up to the Z Min pins. When I send something like a G0 Z10 it is only working some of the time.by icius - Repetier
I'm selling my Mendel as I no longer have the time to finish it. Too many other life things going on. I tried to get the best parts and kits available while not resorting to buying a pre-built machine. Here are the parts/kits I purchased: Printed Parts: Blue ABS Mendel Kit from Eckertech with Wade's extruder http://www.eckertech.com/mendel-parts/ Vitamins (hardware and lead screws): Thingfby icius - For Sale
Thought I would supply a picture of the mapping for the cable connector to the Gen7 board. The sixth pin is not needed for this programmer.by icius - Controllers
Andy, Luckily you can program the ATMega directly from a Parallel port using a cheaply made cable. I had a cable lying around from previous projects and used it to successfully set the fuses and load the bootloader into my Gen7 644. Here is the schematic for the cable: Cable Schematic The best part is, avrdude actually knows about this cable/method. When I loaded my 644 I used the followiby icius - Controllers
In case anyone is interested. I am using Putty as my serial terminal to manually send commands to the FiveD firmware. See the attached files for the settings I have found to work. I am using this USB to TTL cable for all Serial communications: USB to TTL Cableby icius - Controllers
Traumflug, Thanks for the quick reply and thanks for posting the sample code. I hope I didn't sound too down on Gen7. I think it is an awesome effort and I really appreciate the personal time you have put into it.. I decided to strike out on my own and see what I could do with a Gen7 version of FiveD. I have pulled the latest FiveD code off of Sourceforge and created my own repository at Gitby icius - Controllers
Hello all, I have been working hard the past few weeks to get a Gen7 board etched and built. I was finally able to finish building it and am now trying to flush out some issues. I was successfully able to load the Bootloader to the board and I have also loaded the Teacup firmware to the board using the Arduino software.
