Software bundle 3.4.0 stable released!

@zapta given that the input shapers supported by RRF have effective bandwidths of up to 3:1, it's not necessary to do anything as complex as that.

To get a 3:1 ratio of resonant frequencies on the X and Y axes, and assuming X and Y axes use belts of approximately equal width, length and tension, you would need a mass ratio of 9:1. That's higher than you are likely to get even in a large bed slinger.

@dc42, thanks for the explanation.

@dc42 - this release seems to be breaking my Nozzle Heater on the 1LC.

@dc42 Hey David. Thanks to you and others for all the work you are putting into reprap.
As a Prusa user I am use to being spoon fed firmware and Slicer settings. Is there a Reprap Slicer that the community finds works best?
Thanks again.

BoA

@damaged_goods I use Prusa Slicer - it works perfectly fine.

For what printer and what Duet board? Duet3d Mini5 on Prusa MK3?

Hi,

I have a MB6HC with a SBC-Rasbarry Pi 4.

I am using the apt-get update / apt-get upgrade. It says that nothing to upgrade. But when I try the M115 command it says firmware 3.2.2

Do I do something wrong?

I have been following the documentation.

@boa Thank you,

damaged_goods

@zapta It's a custom built very large printer with a duet 3 MB6HC.

@damaged_goods I use SuperSlicer. https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer/releases

It has thumbnails compatible with the PanelDue.

Anyone know how to get thumbnail generation in Cura?

oliof

@tfjield Install the RRF plugin for Cura.

@dc42 @oliof
I installed it, and all I see is that it's asking me to link my printer...

Does this require me to send the file to the printer directly? Or can I just save the gcode with the image embedded?

Phaedrux

@tfjield That plugin allows you to send the gcode files directly to the printer, yes, and also will embed the thumbnail. I believe you can also save the gcode file locally.

oliof

@tfjield it will ask you to link to a printer, but after you sliced a file you will see a little caret on the blue "Send to ..." button where you can choose to save the file locally.

tfjield

@oliof @Phaedrux Thank you!

@oliof
After I installed it, I now have 4 options after slicing:

Simulate on xxx
Print on xxx
Upload to xxx
Save to Disk

If I choose Save to Disk, it looks like the plugin is bypassed and the thumbnail isn't generated. All of the other 3 options appear to require my printer to be online.

Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?
