-To prepare file:
+Go back to revision e1cdc45 aka "last-with-huxley".
- * Make stl file.
- openscad -o test-object.tmp.stl test-object.scad
- or equivalent.
-
- * Slice the file. On appropriate OS run Slic3r.
- I was using 0.9.7.
- Download from here:
- http://slic3r.org/download
-
- Then
-
- /home/reprap/Slic3r/bin/slic3r --load /home/reprap/play/slic3r-config.ini test-object.stl
-
- Produces test-object.gcoce.
-
-To print:
-
- * Turn on printer and connect computer.
- * Start pronterface
- cd /home/reprap/reprappro-software.git/
- ./pronterface/pronterface.py
- * Select "connect" (make sure it's ttyUSB0 115200),
- wait for printer to connect
- * Tick "watch"
- * Turn on the hotend and bed heaters
- * Remove MicroSD card from printer and copy the file to it
- (give it an 8.3 filename ending in .G)
- * Insert MicroSD card back into printer
- * Wait for bed (and hotend) to get up to temperature
- * If there's lots of ooze, pick off nozzle with fine-nosed pliers
- * "SD" / "Print", select the file you uploaded earlier
- * Watch while it starts and make sure that the skirt sticks to
- printbed and nothing gets tangled
- * Check that filament feed path from feedstock coil looks good.
-
-After printing:
-
- * You can right away unclip the bed plate.
- * Wait for the object and bed plate to cool before removing it.
-
-*** DO NOT TURN PRINTER OFF WHILE HOT END IS HOT ***
-
-Levelling (occasionally, or after transport):
-
- * Home in pronterface
- * Set level:
- Use FL/FR to move to front left / right
- Use Home Z to make it go up and down
- Observe motion of bed - should be just none
- Turn RH thread with fingers to adjust so above is true
- (Levelling screws front/back are at RH of bed plate.)
-
-Bed cleaning: use isopropanol
-
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-make these symlinks
-~/.pronsolerc -> /home/reprap/play/pronsolerc (adjust to taste)
-
-Slic3r - is from slic3r-linux-x86-0-9-7.tar.gz
- /home/reprap/Slic3r/bin/slic3r --load /home/reprap/play/slic3r-config.ini --ignore-nonexistent-config
-
-repsnapper - only used this so far for its gcode viewer
-
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-firmware upgrade:
-
- firmware is in marlin.git#iwj and works with make
- various other firmwares for comparison only
- sprinter-reprappro.git sprinter.git
- produces Marlin.hex
- depends on stuff in arduino-0022 (doesn't work with other arduino
- versions, incompatible)
- program with
- avrdude -b 38400 -v -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -p atmega644P -c arduino -U flash:w:Marlin.hex
- needs the reset jumper (which is right next to the mcu) fitted
+The files for our old Huxley have been removed from this tree since then.
