Also take a look at Repetier host/firmware has a nice 'glitzy' interface and i find it very reliable.

Re: Printing software on 2017?
Ive been using Cura for some time now on my i3 with great results.
Tried Kissclicer and Slic3r and didnt care for them.

Re: Printing software on 2017?
Users of Duets and now also Alligator boards running RepRapFirmware don't use a host program, because the web interface provides all that functionality and a lot more besides. See [reprap.org].
You still need to use a slicer to generate the GCode file. The most popular ones right now seem to be the Prusa edition of Slic3r, Cura, and Simplify3D. As you have to pay for Simplify3D and it doesn't seem to be improving as fast as the other two (which are free), I expect its popularity to decline.

no attribute rc_filename
I just did a new Ubuntu16.04 install and installed pronterface. However, I get the error:
[ERROR] Saving failed for set last_window_height:'PronterWindow' object has no attribute 'rc_filename'
at every startup and the window defaults to the original size. Not what I last sized it to,

Re: Pronterface could not open port
What did you find to solve the problem - I have the same issue that the port on 1 computer (Tosbiba portable Win10) has stopped opening the port connection (after a year without problem upgraded from Win 7 Professional) , but with another computer (Toshiba win7 ) works ok - so I know it is port connection on the Win 10 computer is the issue -

Re: Pronterface could not open port
Your comport number may have changed, check in the device manager to see what it is.

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
