Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

Hello ,

just wanted to note that miniMover doesn't always seem to detect the printer's com port when attached over USB.
Im running Linux and and the printer was showing up as /dev/ttyACM0 which is linked to COM33 on my wine config. However, miniMover was only able to communicate with the printer when the port was explicitly passed as an argument: 'wine miniMover.exe -po COM33 -s'

Not a huge issue, but it might be good to know that you can find the correctly mapped port with: ls -la <WINEPATH>/dosdevices

Thanks for the great tool smile

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

What slicer and settings are recommended for working with a minimaker?

When printing with cura-sliced gcode and 50mm/s print speed the print head moves very quickly and is unable to extrude enough filament in time / have it attach to the print bed. It appears to be moving a lot faster than the standard print speed for the printer (60mm/s).

Is there something I'm missing here? I am using the example cura configuration from the first page of the thread.

I have a similar issue, when I have an arduino plugged in the printer doesn't always grap ttyACM0.  I thought I'd be able to solved this with a udev command to give it a permanent name like xyzprinter, I have tried, but so far the miniMoverConsole will not accept anything but ttyACM0.

Anyone know if you can use udev rules to solve this?

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

Hi everyone, and thanks to david.tucker for this awesome project and to all for the commentshttp://soliforum.com/i/?iJE8ngZ.jpg!

I'm facing with temperature trouble. Although I set the temperature up (in CURA) at 190°, Minimower shows every time that temperature is 214/210.

Is it a visualization bug or Minimover can't control temperature?
Does someone has the same problem?

Which is the latest version of Minimover? I'm running v0.9.5.

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

Hi! I have an xyz printer jr 1.0 w, and I can't find a way to print with a slicer different from xyzprint.
I would like to print using Cura. I'm using this method: save the file obtained with Cura, open it with Notepad+, delete the first part of the code replacing it with the "start code" taken from this page and doing the same for the end of the code.
After the command Base64 Encode I save it like .3w.
Then opening the file with xyzprint it doesn't work sad((((
The error message is:
You do not have the appropriate material cartridge to print this file.
This is my e-mail: [email protected]
If someone is still following the forum please contact me.
Thanks in advance
Manuel

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

I am having the exact same issue as Captchaaa had on page 14 of the forum, minimover does not detect my minimaker com port.
It seems no matter what usb port I use, changing ports manually, restarting pc, or trying another pc resolves my issue, still the same result.
Has anyone else ecnountered this and/or know of a solution?

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

Many thanks to david.tucker for developing such useful utility. Using 0.96 beta to print with DaVinci 1.0 pro 3 in 1, works well.
It had been challenging to get printable gcode, but after many hours struggling I made it! The most challenging was to optimise the code for printing speeds, because the printer sets itself according to comments in the code. The working solution is to remove all the comments generated by slicer and into the header place following 3 lines:

; filename = Task.3w
; machine = daVinciAS10
; extruder = 1

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

Hello all. I've been reading through this and everyone seems to be able to print with gcode using the mini mover, except me.

I have MiniMoverUI v0.9.5, and any gcode or .3w files I send with the MiniMover, signals the printer but nothing prints. The printer beeps and shows its busy while the file is transferred, but nothing prints and MiniMover freezes multiple times.  I have used the gcode header and footer for the XYZ printers.  I am using a XYZ Da Vinci Mini w+

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How big is the file you are trying to print. This setup does not like large files.

That could be the issue. Try a small file like the common 20mm calcube and see if it works.

The largest file I have printed on any machine is 31 hours and that file was 92KB.

1.36MB seems like a very large file or it has a lot of open area in it.

The 1.36MB file would only take a few hours but I also tried the MiniMover with another file that would only take 30 mins to print. I think the issue has something to do with the gcode. When I imported the gcode (with the new XYZ heading) into XYZware, it states I do not have the correct filament and won't allow me to print.

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

What chance someone can take the knowledge here and turn it into something that would allow octaprint to integrate with our XYZ minis? does the octaprint plugin API provide for driver development in a way that would allow this?

Re: print gcode files to miniMaker

Hi!

Probably this topic isn't the best place to put my question, but I didn't find better. New topic is useless for now.

So, the question. From where I can get the list of recognizable G-codes for different DaVinci printers, which this software will translate to 3w. A list with M-codes are welcome too.

Regards!

Your SDcard in the printer is bad. Or your comment section in your file is too large.

Hello
I am using da Vinci nano with miniMover 0.96beta. The program is super.
I get the same message as user "alexis_martins_silva" (...error_sd_card) when I try to print the .gcode file created by KISSLICER v 1.6.3. My SD card is OK. The .gcode file is 500 KB.
Is the problem really with the size of the comments section? - if so, what can be safely removed from comments?
Maybe it's a bug in miniMover 0.96beta? - is it still possible to fix this error by the developer of the program?
