To print: * Turn on printer and connect computer. * Start pronterface cd /home/reprap/reprappro-software.git/ ./pronterface.py * Select "connect" (make sure it's ttyUSB0 115200), wait for printer to connect * 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. ------------------------------------------------------------ make these symlinks ~/.pronsolerc -> /home/ian/things/Reprap/play/pronsolerc (adjust to taste) openscad - use wheezy ie schroot -pc wheezy openscad or schroot -pc wheezy openscad Slic3r - is from slic3r-linux-x86-0-9-1.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
