Topic: DaVinci 1.0a & Repetier not working properly.

Hey yall,
So after flashing my 3d printer with repetier host ive came across numerous problems with my computer sending the printer information. To give you an example; when i try to manually heat my bed via repetier host nothing happens. When I manually turn on the bed and extruder using the maintenance tab on the daVincis lcd module. The bed and extruder heat up but repetier doesnt recognize that the bed and all are heating up. Also when I try to print I send it and nothing happens. Im not exactly sure whats going on. But i really do need some help! IF you need more information tell me, I have plenty of problems lol.

Re: DaVinci 1.0a & Repetier not working properly.

I trust when you open Repetier host which is what you use after flashing that you are clicking on the connect button? Also have you made sure that Repetier Host is set for the same baud rate as the firmware and that you have selected the correct comport? Once you flash you can no longer use the stock software just to make sure you know since you did not indicate the software you are using.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Yes.  Everything is connected and the buadrate is set along with the correct com port.  One thing I do notice as well is when I try to send a command they just kinda like up ontop of eachother.  At one point it said I have 33 commands waiting.  Im using  repetier host software.  But im thinking.  Will anything  else work. Cause for some reason  this  software  Wont work  with  my printer...  Even when I followed all these tutorials word for word

Okay.  Something to take note of.  This is the issue.  When I send my print to the DaVinci  everything looks fine.  Expect my heating doesn't work.  I can manually heat everything through repetitive.  But when I slice and print for some reason the heaters just shutoff..

Re: DaVinci 1.0a & Repetier not working properly.

What did you do to solve your first issue ? no command from repetier is working = communication issue
you said your seetings are already corrects - so what was the solution ?
If only heaters check your generated GCODE should have something wrong in it

Re: DaVinci 1.0a & Repetier not working properly.

There are two locations that have temps set. One is the default printer settings used for manual control and preheating in Repetier. Then the other is in your slicer. If they don't match then there will be issues. The slicer settings always override the default settings once PRINT is clicked. So if they are higher or lower than default then the printer will wait till they are reached. In your case if they are dropping to near room temp then your slicer is setting them to zero or very low.

Another issue is the same old issue these Da Vinci series printers have always had and that is a bad connection on the heater wiring connector at the top of the head. It looks fine when it is at home or not moving. Temps will be stable. but once the print head moves and stresses the connection the heater looses power and the temps drop. The fix is to replace the connector with something more reliable. Of course see as this is a PRO and they must know about that issue by now I would assume it has been fixed so it should not be your issue.

Re: DaVinci 1.0a & Repetier not working properly.

Okay.  I'm assuming  by now it's in my slicer. Cause when i click print the printer says heating extruder but the Temps drop to room  temperature. Would  you know how to fix this?  I tried changing the G code but  that didn't  work out to well

I can bet something is wrong with your Serial drivers.
I had almost the same issue between my printer with repetier and simplify3d.

I had to reinstall windows, nothing I would do got it to work before the reinstall.
