Is there a Reprap Slicer that the community finds works best?

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.

Thumbnail

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.

@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?

[oliof]

@tfjield its probably worth to open a separate thread for this discussion so we can drag in @resam who is the plugin author.

[resam]

@tfjield short answer: the "Save to Disk" option is from plain Cura - not my plugin. If you want a dedicated "Save to Disk with thumbnails"-like option, let's move the conversation to a new thread.
