IdeaMaker upload to Duet

AdrAs

I just wanted to give the IdeaMaker slicer a try. But I was unable to figure out how to configure it to upload the gcode via Wifi to my duet board.

Does anyone know if that's even possible?

@adras You do it the normal way save it to the hard drive , then download it to your Duet .

Ok, thanks. Way too much effort I'll stick to Pruser Slicer then

if taking under a minute to do is too much work, you are losing an eternity in not using the best (IMHOP) slicer available, oh well ignorance is bliss as they say

if it was the BEST it would let you upload it directly.

If it produces the BEST PRINT QUALITY im happy to spend 30 seconds or so and a few clicks to get the file on the board.

@phaedrux Agreed

I use IM almost exclusively and I hate the fact that I can't add a postprocessing script to it that would upload file to duet (like I can do from s3d for e.g.) ... anyhow I love the output slicer gives so I accept that limitation. If enough ppl write on their forum that they would like that feature maybe they would cave and implement it.

Btw, friend told me latest CURA got him better results than latest IM (he was also in love with IM till recently), looks like there are no "best" slicers, one need to follow up on all of them to have "the currently best one"

This feature would be nice, but the problem is not on the Duet side, but on the ideamaker side. With the latest update (4.2.3) repetier support has been added.

We are waiting for the support of the growing popularity of Duet.
You can slice in Kura, but without plugins it's not fun at all.
