Pronterface will not accept extruder input (no replies)

Hi,
I'm in the process of calibrating my new Prusia I3 rework and I have experienced a problem in Pronterface. All features appear to work properly except when I try to input data into the "Length" and "Speed" fields to advance filament, neither field will accept input. I am running on a Windows 10 platform with Printrun version 2014.08.01. Attached is a screenshot which illustrates the fields in question. If anyone can assist me in understanding what may be causing this problem, I would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance

Pronterface Custom Setup (1 reply)

Does anyone know how to set up Pronterface to have a specific interface/arrangement on startup?

I have been able to set up the custom buttons/macros on my computer but whenever I restart the program the window sizing changes to make the graph section really small so I can't see all of my buttons.

Does anyone know of a way to preset the window sizes on startup?

Printrun Error:No Checksum with line number, Last Line: (no replies)

I am consistently getting an error at the end of my prints which kills the print. The log for the error looks like this:

Quote
Resend: 74166
Error:No Checksum with line number, Last Line: 74165
[ERROR] Error:No Checksum with line number, Last Line: 74165

Resend: 74166

and so on, ad infinitum.....

The problem consistently happens with 6 lines of G1 commands left to run, and the printer head hangs up on the (*almost* complete) model at temperature, creating a wart on my print which ruins the print.

Here is an image showing the error, and three examples of g-code showing where the print failed:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vanv743fyjxip9s/Checksum%20error%20Screen%20Shot.png?dl=0

This is a new problem, and the only thing that I can figure that I did to change things was to add the "Eject" command at the end of the g-code, but I don't see how that could cause this....

Any speculation on what might be causing this?

Installed pronterface but still errors (2 replies)

Hi, sorry if this question is basic but it's really giving me fits.

I installed Pronterface and spent a couple days getting errors cleaned up. I initially posted for help on the wrong forum category.

At first I didn't have numpy installed but I worked through that. One error after another I got solved but I'm stuck with the following when starting pronterface.py (by the way, the program appears to start just fine, I just have this message in the command prompt):

WARNING:root:Memory-efficient GCoder implementation unavailable: No module named gcoder_line
WARNING:root:psutil unavailable, could not import power utils:No module named psutil

I followed the steps in the readme (https://github.com/kliment/Printrun#cython-based-g-code-parser) and installed Cython and then tried running "python setup.py build_ext --inplace." When I do this, I get the following error:

WARNING:root:Memory-efficient GCoder implementation unavailable: No module named gcoder_line
running build_ext
building 'printrun.gcoder_line' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

I installed Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 to try and resolve the missing vcvarsall.bat

I'm using Python 2.7 and Windows 10

So here is where I'm stuck. I'm very new to this but I'm mostly finished with my first 3D printer and am trying to sort the software out. Is it worth working through this to use printrun or would another program be better?

Thanks for any help!

Hello, this is to announce SqPronterface, a port/mashup of MacPronterface using Squeak (http://[squeak.org]).

The reason of this port is because MacPronterface have some UI bugs in the last macOS upgrades but the program appears to be lost the developer in mac, also I have some old PowerPC macs: an iBook G4 and a mac mini that I want to use instead of my MacBook Pro to control the printer so this version can work with Intel or PPC macs.

I tried to implement most of the features of MacPronterface such as graphics, macros, settings, etc..., but this version don't have SD support or calling slice programs.

You can download the program or the Mercurial repository with all the files needed in:
[sourceforge.net]

Enjoy!

Can read but not write to SD Card - Any advice? (no replies)

Hi.

I usually print from SD card but both card and card slots are getting a hammering from all the swapping.

Within Pronterface I can read the contents of the SD card but cannot write to it - nothing happens.

Has anyone got any tips on this? (Its not write protected before you ask)

Is there an alternative way to read/ write to SD Card over USB?

Setup is ramps/ marlin/ full graphic LCD

Thanks

Build Printrun (no replies)

I have downloaded the latest Printrun source onto my development machine and I have got it up and running. Now I want to be able to transfer Printrun onto my printing machine but I don't want to have to install python and all of the dependencies as it is a very low end machine. So what I'm wondering is how I would compile down Printrun into binaries. I know that I can download the precompiled binaries but they are a few years out of date and are missing some of the features that I need in the newer version.
Thanks,
Bottersnike

Hi all,

Just installed pronterface using the latest versions and keep getting errors. I deleted and reinstalled it several times with no changes. I know the printer itself is fine because it was working before at the guys house who rebuild it. I was using an Azteeg X1 but when that died the original builder installed a smoothie board and was using pronterface. It was printing fine when it left his place.

The errors I keep getting are:
Printer is now online.
[ERROR] Traceback (most recent call last):
File "printrun\printcore.pyc", line 241, in _readline
File "printrun\pronterface.pyc", line 1713, in recvcb
File "printrun\pronterface.pyc", line 1669, in update_pos
ValueError: could not convert string to float:

Board: smoothie
Pronterface version: printrun 2014.08.01

I am able to turn on and off the extruder but that is it...

another note: when I look at the files in the printrun folder, I donot see any that end in .pyc, mine all end in .py (example printcore.py, instead of printcore.pyc)
I am not ever sure where to begin looking... any help is greatly appreciated.

Pronterface G29 report upside down - NOT PRONTERFACE (no replies)

My bad. On further checking, Marlin is generating the matrix, and Pronterface is just reporting what Marlin is sending it. The problem is in Marlin. Discovered by enabling "#define DEBUG_LEVELING_FEATURE" in Marling Configuration.h, and then issuing "M111 S32" from Pronterface and then running G29. A detailed report to Pronterface shows Marlin is the culprit.

Like my tag says: Often in error, but rarely in doubt.



ORIGINAL POST:

I am using Pronterface Printrun 2014.08.01 to operate a MendelMax running Marlin 1.1.0-RCBugFix on a Rambo. I use G29 before each print to auto bed level bilinearly. I told Marlin to use 12 points. It samples as follows:
10 11 12
9 8 7
4 5 6
3 2 1
where 1 is the lower right corner of the bed and 10 is the upper left of the bed.

When the samples are completed, Pronterface shows a matrix in its sidebar that orders the data correctly from left to right, but upside down top to bottom.
The data is displayed as:
3 2 1
4 5 6
9 8 7
10 11 12

Has anyone else noticed this? I am hoping my son-in-law ( an uber-coder ) can fix the Pronterface Python file so it generates the measurement data in the correct order.
I have every reason to believe that Marlin is applying the data correctly to compensate for bed leveling, and the error is in how Pronterface displays it.

Pronterface won't graph bed temperature (no replies)

I'm testing a new printer and running the latest pronterface (2015.3.10) under linux mint. I can talk to the smoothieboard and set the temperature of the bed and it does what it is supposed to except that the temperature graph only shows the target temperature changed to the set value and never graphs the measured bed temperature. I saw that this was a problem in a release a few years ago and was fixed in 2014, but it seems to be broken again in the latest release (or I'm doing something wrong). I have tried changing the bed designator in the smoothie config file to "B", "B ", "b", "b ", "Bed" and "bed" to no avail.

Any ideas?

Hi all,

I've been off the grid for quite some time rgarding 3d printing and it's time to start again.

I'm looking for all I need to start from zero and I noticed that Pronterface hasn't been updated for more than 2 years now.

Is it still reliable? is there any good free alternative to print from the computer? I'm working with a Prusa i3 and OSX


Thanks a lot in advance,

Pronterface interface issue on raspberry pi (3 replies)

Hi,
Sometime back, I started running my printers (2 of them) using pronterface on the raspberry pi. Everything was great guns and happy as clams until I got adventurous and decided to go into options and change the user interface setting from "tabs" to "tabs and platters". ( I am not sure I an remembering the option name accurately). I didn't understand what it was suppose to do for me, but I got out of the program without changing it back. Now pronterface won't run at all. Is there a config file that I can go back into to set it back to just tabs? I know I can re-install it, but was hoping for a simpler fix.

Custom Buttons Containing More Than One LIne of Code (2 replies)

I would like to create a custom button in Pronterface that will allow me to move an indicator across my heated bed. I have created custom buttons to home as well as other one line commands but, have not been able to add additional lines of code. If I press enter to start a new line the button closed, pressing the down arrow key does not work either. I am looking to create one button to home, then rapid down to a specific point in the Z axis then move the X and Y axis to several different locations on the plate. Is this even possible?

Thank you for your help.
