3D GCode Viewer integrated with DWC

MJLew

@Sindarius Thank you Sindarius. The file was made by code I wrote in LiveCode, and, yes, the lines are separated by returns. I can probably use any line delimiter I like, but returns are normal for Mac, I think.

I look forward to using the fixed viewer, as I am doing a lot of trial and error printing with my custom gcode using G2 and G3 because Simplfy3D won't display it.

MJLew

@MJLew Oh, and I should add that the return-delimited file runs with Duet and Smoothieboard, so maybe the viewer should allow return-delimited files too.

Sindarius

@MJLew I'll take it into consideration. In the meantime I have a temporary solution that may at least get you testing in the near term. I have been working on a voxel version of the visualizer for fun and I already applied the same fixes that will be in 3.3. If you can tolerate some little squares in your testing you can give this a go.

@Sindarius Works fine for gcode from S3D, but not my return-delimited files come up blank. (The Minecraft style is really cool!)

Sindarius

@MJLew It's going to be the same deal. It is using the same processing so it's not going to accept carriage return.

Can Ideamaker label objects? Cannot find something in the settings menu and GcodeViewer doesn't show object labels.

Yes, it labels objects, and RRF 3.3RC2 recognises those labels.

Need to double check that. Had a print today where I would like to cancel an object and it was not possible (which means the option "show object labels" was grayed out).

@martinnyhc just had a quick check in the latest idea maker. the output I got is labelled as follows:

.....
;PRINTING: test0.stl
;PRINTING_ID: 1
.....
;PRINTING: test2.stl
;PRINTING_ID: 0
......
;PRINTING: test1.stl
;PRINTING_ID: 2
.....

so it is labelling the objects

What might cause the cursor to be offset from the rendered preview?

I'm using a Toolchanger, so each of the tools have offsets with respect to the Z-probe. Perhaps the offset is not being referenced?

Sindarius

I’ll need to look i believe the code currently uses the machine position and not the tool position which could be the issue.

I'm using Ideamaker 4.1.1.5050 and RRF 3.3-RC2.

@martinnyhc If you are using RRF 3.3-RC2 in SBC mode, please try to delete /opt/dsf/conf/config.json once and restart the Pi. I forgot to update the default DCS config in RC2 which contains a change for object detection for IdeaMaker. By deleting that file DCS will use the new defaults automatically.

Still not working.

@martinnyhc AFAIR parts of the second object have to be printed before the object selection starts working. If it still doesn't work, make sure you are on DSF 3.3-RC2 and that "PRINTING" is part of the FirmwareComments field in /opt/dsf/conf/config.json. That file should have been regenerated after the reboot.

MartinNYHC

@chrishamm OK, will try. Thanks.

MartinNYHC

After deleting /opt/dsf/conf/config.json it works Thanks!

@sindarius Did you have a chance to look into this?

I was working on someone else's E3D tool-changer today and experienced the same thing, so I wanted to check in.
