![]() ![]() The arduino IDE is cross platform and runs fine on linux and the “drivers” for the printer seem to be installed automatically. ![]() This is only a theory but I suspect that it is perfectly possible to flash the firmware of the printer from linux. The default /dev/ttyUSB… worked fine for me. You might also have to set the port of the printer, to do that, go to config->Printer Settings and select the port of the printer. It might be possible to print from the computer aswell but I havn’t tested it. That’s all you need to do, click slice and put it on an SD card. When you want to slice a model, you need to select the printer in the “Printer Configuration” field, it should have the same name as the file you imported. Select the config file and it should get imported. To import a config file, open repetierHost, open the slicer tab, click configuraton and click import.

Wait for all used extruders to reach temperature If you don’t have a windows computer avalible, this is the config file I use which I pulled from a fresh install on dec 29 2014.ĭefaultQuality = UGFdGjaROx9aQouMAZfWQqs4mQsUIfod All you have to do is open repetier host on the windows computer, click the slicer tab, click configuration and pressing export. One way of doing it is by pulling it from a working windows installation. ![]() Your desktop manager should be able to find it and you can run it from a terminal anywhere using repetierHostĬura engine which is used to create the gcode that the printer reads uses a config file to generate prints for the vertex printer in particular so you will need to provide that file. Once this is done, repetier host is installed. The script will ask you for your superuser password to allow it to “install” the program. Navigate to where you unzipped the program using a terminal and type sh configureFirst.sh #use sh shell to run the scriptĬhmod +x configureFirst.sh #Make the script executable The first thing you need to do is download repetier host which can be found here. I have mainly used it for generating the gcode and the printed it from an SD card but I know that the manual controls in the program sort of work. You want to controll your printer so this program is pretty important. Im currently running Antergos, an arch derivative but there is no reason this shouldn’t work on other distros. All of my computers are running linux so I have tried to figgure out how to run the printer from that, I have got repetier host working and I believe I know how to update firmware aswell so I figgured I might share what I have done. ![]()
