![]() ![]() Repetier seems to be the no.1 goto software for use with a 3D printer. TL DR / Mangement Summary: Transfer RHs Slicer-Configuration from Windows to Linux -> How?Īll the best & thanks in advance for your outstanding support! (*) Minor glitch: connect to server (api-key and so on.) shows the printer _twice_ and I cannot figure out how to remove the "wrong one" (I do know which one to select, choosing 'other one' crashes RH.) it's just annoying. I don't care much about the printer-settings ("Kopiere Servereinstellungen" should take care of this (*)) but having to re-create the Cura-Slicer-Configuration is gonna *hurt*, badly. How do I transfer my RH/Slicer-Configuration from my old machine (Win 7) to the new box (Linux Mint) and is this even possible? RFC: add "installing mono-complete should be sufficient" somewhere on your download/info-page + sudo apt-get install mono-complete -> RH is working, Webcam-button also shows up and works dito basic commands work (home heat bed fan-speed and so on) -> YAY! > followed the "sehr sparsam & übersichtlich" instructions on (the site talks about 16.04 or older and "should work with newer Ubuntu versions too but we only test the ones below." but so what if this borks the new and shiny OS-install, don't care!) >) of course mono included with Mint 18.3 Sylvia was too old, RH didn't even start Question: how does one update from Repetier-Host-x86_64-2.0.5.AppImage to -say- Repetier-Host-x86_64-2.0.something.AppImage without breaking all shortcuts? Question: how does one remove the shortcuts created by running " -prepare", does a parameter exist for this? configure printer or something-) Webcam-Button didn't show up and so on > silent *crash* during adding my printer, most likely because I decided to remove the default-printer before successfully adding the new one also some weird artifacts with the GUI (open another app while RH is running and has a blocking dialog open -e.g. Admin-box shall change to Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia, HW: Core i5, 16GB, 250GB SSD (Printer and RasPi will remain unchanged) Admin-box / "daily driver" from yesteryear: Win 7, ~6 years old and _creaking_, don't ask about the specs Printer attached to a dedicated RepetierServer Pro on a RasPi3 so the daring operator decided to go cold turkey -) If you decide the upgrade your printer to this version (Wanhao does not ship with this version), search this group for the instructions (I would suggest having an AVR programmer nearby, as the printer can sometimes brick when upgrading). The D4 system is already very old, there are much better and more optimized boards available. Ultimately, with a printer understanding Gcode (or processed gcode like the D4) there are very little things that can't be commanded (for example vase/spiraling mode, 3d infill etc). For many of the new features, different hardware would be required (like a RAMPS board), in which case using different firmware would be easier.As already discussed, there are no known/serious bugs.There are bugs to fix or general improvements.There are a few reasons why new versions of software/firmware are created: The Sailfish available through the Thingiverse ReplicatorG is the latest version available (I believe it is 7.7 - ) and it seems that there will not be an update (everything that should work is working as it is, with no known bugs). You will also need to configure the firmware yourself, but when using a board like the RAMPS, Repetier have a simple to use configuration assistant which should help you get reliable working firmware. If you do want to run replicator or marlin, you will need to upgrade the control board to at least a RAMPS (powered by a Mega) - Warning: the D4 is 24V RAMPS use 12V (you may also need to replace the power supply, heaters and fans). The main advantage of the steps vs length is that the printer can just Read and Execute in Sailfish compared to Read, Calculate (length * steps/mm for axis with 4 different axis per command), then Execute. x3g, the lengths for each axis is removed and replaced with the number of steps for the stepper motor). ![]() To make the printer able to print with this under powered processor, the. The main issue is the processor on the D4 is old and under powered (with regards to processing speed and power). I am afraid that is not going to work (would be very nice to do it, but then again Sailfish or Sailfish based firmware are very good). ![]()
