Curious when Error Analysis button will be included here (if it will). #12

First, thanks very much for your work. I just found it and it meets our needs very well (allowing us to give a estimate of how much it will cost to print an object based on weight of material used).

I'm curious whether the Error Analysis tab and button to Run analysis will be made available here.

Thanks again.

Hi, thanks. Error analysis is enabled if you use http://gcode.ws/?new link instead of just accessing gcode.ws It kinda works for most cases in my experience (doesn't work for z-lift type of prints, some thresholds are not properly set up, etc...), but still needs a lot of work and it turned out that I myself don't really use it, so I stopped working on it. To use it you must load a gcode file and without doing anything else (i.e. do not move view or zoom in-out) switch to that tab and press run analysis. After popup disappears you can press the newly appeared checkbox and it will highlight extrusions that are... well.. might not print well =) Right now it works with single line of gcode-file level, so if it detects that, for example, extrusion starts in the air - it will highlight the whole line, even if the most part of it will print nicely.

Anyway, if you have questions or requests - feel free to post em =)

Thanks for the reply. At first I thought I did something wrong after cloning from github because it didn't look like your site. I see now that removing the /?new that it looks the same. Right now it works perfectly for what I need, which is to allow students that don't really know anything about the printing to accept files from possible customers and give them a reliable estimate of how much their object will cost to print based on weight of used material.

I was hoping that in the future I might be able to allow them also to at least tell the customer that their model has problems, but reading your response I don't know that I will since I double check everything before printing anyway. If I ever get some time to extend it I'll let you know. Thanks again for sharing.
