Re: Pronterface could not open port
Thanks,
The Device Manger is saying "USB Serial port ( com 3)"
Ponterface is saying it is trying to connect to Port 3
I have tried deleting the port, but when the plug reconnects it is still showing on the Devide Manager Port 3
The link cable should be OK as it works with the other computer (win 7)
AS further suggestions please?

SqPronterface
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!

Re: need help with pronterface
Good evening all
I also have a problem with pronterface, I have my printer since 2014, I would download STL files and put them through pronterface and save them in a SD card that I would put directly in the printer
Due to professional reasons, I was 8 months without using the printer, in the meantime my pc crashed and I lost all my files and programs. Today I managed to print some of the files Istill have in the SD card but nothing else. I tried to download pronterface but all it does is download something called python and nothing on pronterface, can someone be so kind to help me
Your Help is Greatly Appreciated

Can read but not write to SD Card - Any advice?
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
Ed

Build Printrun
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

Pronterface issue
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.

Re: Pronterface issue
.pyc is just the .py files already compiled into a more executable format
You change the .py, the pyc get updated next time your run it.
See [stackoverflow.com] for more details.
That's a very old version of pronterface... latest from github is 2015.03.10
Try the binary from [koti.kapsi.fi] not the latest, but better than what ever you found.

Re: Pronterface issue
Hi Dust and thanks for the help!
The files I downloaded is the same files you recommended: Printrun-Win-Slic3r-03Feb2015.zip from [koti.kapsi.fi]
If you go to the help menu / about printrun is says version 2014.08.01 in it.
Also thanks for the link which explained .py and .pyc

Pronterface G29 report upside down - NOT PRONTERFACE
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
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?

Did you remember to go into "settings", "options", "user interface" in Pronterface and 'check' the two temp graph boxes?

Printing software on 2017?
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,

Re: Printing software on 2017?
Pronterface is still very reliable, lot of people don't like it because is not all glitzy and glamorous, which is the same reason I like it
the github shows recent activity [github.com]
The pre made binaries at [kliment.kapsi.fi] are somewhat out of date... I would go with the code from the guthub, if you can.
Cura is also quite popular [ultimaker.com] It not just for ultimaker
