Simplify3D User Forum

Hello community,

This is my first post in this forum.
I still have little experience with S3D.

To use the many possibilities of S3D I have changed the firmware of my DaVinci 2.0A. Now he works with Repetier 0.92.10.
The connection, operation and printing with the repeating host work well. Unfortunately the S3D does not work yet.
The settings of the port I have often checked.
I use 23400 baud and hardware flow control. S3D signals: connected but operation of the printer is not possible.
Even with another PC, only Repetier- host works.

After many hours I could not fix the problem.

I have Win7 / 64 on the one PC and Win7 / 32 on the other. Repetier works without problems on both computers.

Since I speak only bad English I use the Google translator-

Best Regards

Hannes

Make sure you only have one piece of software connected as a time. I used 115200 baud rate with hardware flow control and that worked well for me.

I use only one application.

Installed are: S3D, repetier- host and Arduino IDE.

If I connect the printer with Repetier host folds very well. Then I terminate repetier host and start S3D. No communication. When I switch the USB port S3D connects but it is no operation possible. Temperatures and positions are also not displayed.
In the communication window (show everything), I see that S3D is sending the commands. It comes however only one ok back. No values.
If I restart the computer and try to connect the printer to S3D it works (but unfortunately not always).

I can adjust sreenshots of it if desired.

- deinstall Repetier-host, not needed; it has running background-services blocking your connection

- switch on your printer before starting S3D

Or use SD-card so I do.

Hello Horst
thank you.
I have Repetier still on the computer because I need to access the EEPROM config.
I noticed that the connection to the Arduino IDE did not work either. Now I reinstalled the Arduino USB driver. (Already the second time)
Now I have access by Ide and the coupling to S3D also works so long as I do not use Repetier. After use of Repetier no connection with S3D is possible. Only a restart of the computer helps.
You're right with the background services!
But if the data transfer to S3D works and I remove the USB cable or turn off the printer, it is very difficult to rebuild the communication. I have to change the USB ports several times (with me COM3 / COM4) until it works again.

I noticed a new problem. It sometimes happened to me that during the use of S3D suddenly the screen becomes black and I have no chance to use the system further. Then only a reboot of the computer helps.

When I import a part, the print table remains blank in the preview. If I then use "Prepare to print" is the part to see.

This could have to do with the graphics card of the computer. For me, an ATI is installed.

I use an HP laptop (AMD 2x2GHz, 3GB RAM, Win7 / 32). Slicing larger files is difficult. I had hoped that the laptop was enough.

P.S. Du sprichst deutsch ? Kann ich Dich per PN kontaktieren?
