Topic: SD2 with an IMac...
Need some help here. Been working with DOS/Windows based computers for a long time (since late 70's). Was getting comfortable with the Windows based SD printer. She who must be obeyed decided we need a MAC! Got one - Nice but.... (learning curve like a telephone pole!)
Installed Repetier 0.56 for Mac. Finally got the printer to respond to simple movement commands along X, Y & Z axis'. Go to the Print Panel. The temps are set by the Printer Setup. Which I set at 185 extruder and 85 bed. Printed OK with PLA on Windows. Before I touch anything the print panel reads - Extruder TEMP - 0 then a box with my 185 Temp and a set button. Same for the bed temp, only set at 85. As soon as I turn on either the extruder or bed heater it goes form TEMP 0 to TEMP185 (box 185), and bed 85 (box 85). Neither setting shows the temps coming up. I felt the bed and extruder, and they were getting hot, so it seems to be working, but I have no idea of the temps. I have selected the setting to monitor the temps every 1 second,but it doesn't seen to be working.
Sorry bout the long post, but I'm trying to get things working with a rather difficult - and expensive - computer.
Thanx for any help.
