Failing to connect to the m3d micro+ #240

Open LeonFedotov opened 6 years ago

LeonFedotov commented 6 years ago

Hello ive just got the micro+ and it works with their native windows app, the mac app is stuck on loading and M33 Fio is stuck at connecting. is the micro+ using some other communication mechanism? this is the terminal output, it seems like its stuck on detection?

Changing monitoring state from 'Offline' to 'Detecting serial port'
Connecting to: /dev/ttyACM0
Changing monitoring state from 'Detecting serial port' to 'Opening serial port'
Connected to: Serial<id=0x6c420a10, open=True>(port='/dev/ttyACM0', baudrate=115200, bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=None, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False), starting monitor

M33 Fio isn't compatible with Micro+ or M3D Pro printers.

@donovan6000 oh I see -_- is it drastically different? can i help getting support?

donovan6000 commented 6 years ago

I don't own or plan on buying a Micro+ printer, so I probably won't add support for it in M33 Fio. Here's a general overview of what needs to be done to support for Micro+ or M3D Pro printer if anyone's interested in doing so

@donovan6000 great, thanks for the info.

First of all, I really appreciate your work @donovan6000 & @foosel you guys are true philanthropists :) Secondly, it might be obvious, but is it possible to connect the M3D micro+ as a default printer in octoprint (and not use the M33 Fio)?

donovan6000 commented 6 years ago

@ktrolin The Micro 3D and Micro+ printers use repetier host protocol to receive G-code commands, so they won't work in OctoPrint by default. It is possible to use the Micro 3D printer with OctoPrint without using M33 Fio by installing a different firmware onto it.

The M3D Pro printer uses standard G-code protocol to receive G-code commands, so it can work in OctoPrint without any plugins. However the M3D Pro's firmware doesn't have builtin backlash compensation, so anything printed to it would be skewed.
