It doesn't matter.

I will try with "wait" unchecked and "255" as serial cache size.

Luc, I think that option doesn't exist in S3d 2.1, at least I don't find it.

Yes, I saw before and... no way. In my Simplify3d (2.1.0) doesn't exist the setting to activate "HW flow". I just can uncheck "Wait".

Here the window we are talking about:

It is my understanding that If you copied the files from the sd card the printer comes with on to a wifi sd with an adapter, you can send to the "demo" file the gcode and the printer will work with no problems. An adapter sd/mico sd is needed because the newer DaVinci 1.0a now comes with a micro sd card instead of the standard sd size card. Has anyone done this?

Thank you. For the moment I haven't any problem if I have to use Repetier to pass the Simplify3d g-code to the printer although I've read that using the sd card is more reliable than the usb cable.

or directly copy gcode to SDCard - there are several ways - but S3D can communicate with printer directly

You can also export gcode from s3d and import it into repetier host

2015-10-02T10:47:31Z

Trying with a S3d 2.1, I cannot get a connection with Da Vinci 1.0A, so I suppose the way to print from S3D is to generate a file with G-code, opening it with Repetier-host and pushing the button Print in the Print Preview tab. Isn' t it? Is there another better method?

Thanks.
