Repetier Server added to upload server list #5045

Open jmger opened 3 years ago

jmger commented 3 years ago

I am using Repetier Server. I see only Octoprint and Duet as server options. Can Repetier Server be added to the list?

I don't user Repetier Server and have zero interest in attempting to support closed-source software. I might accept a Pull Request to add the support, but my first recourse to Repetier changing something and breaking Slic3r is to disable the feature,

To do a break with both worlds. It is not necessary that Slic3r is support Repetier-Server. You can use Repetier-Host (written in C#). Repetier-Host is supporting Slic3r. Also you can add other slicers too. I like this tool. One UI multible slicers. You can switch between without new model placing.

@lordofhyphens Sorry, but the latest stable version of Slic3r is 6 years old. Version 1.3.0 is 3 years old. I think this project is gone.

@Siox0911 "latest stable" is 1.3.0.

I have since went back to using Simplify3D. Nothing is perfect. Simplify3D hardly ever puts out updates. But for the most part things just work. I find with open source software that a lot of the time there is just to many bugs for me. Take Marlin printer firmware for one example. I tried so many different version trying to find one version than would even compile without errors. The errors were not on my end. I try compiling the code straight off with out any modification to see if everything works. Before I try to edit the software/firmware. I had to stick to the Tevo Tornado v1.1. So if I don't mind if things brake then Open source is great! But if I need, need ,need things to just work then commercial software is usually better. There are exception of course. I love repetier Server. It was very easy to install. I did have a few times recently that Repetier Server went into a boot loop and I had to reinstall the software on my Raspberry Pi. But that was after trying to upload a gcode file or 2 from Slic3r. I have not had any issues with Repetier Server uploading files from Simplify3D. But then you have software like Lumafusion & Shapr3D for the ipad where they are adding new stuff all the time. And very responsive on their respective forums.

@jmger They're also ostensibly getting paid. I do this in my free time (of which I have precious little). Prusa's people did their own fork (and again, are paid to work on it).

Most users of FOSS 3d printing software want stuff done (features added, etc) but can't or won't actually contribute.

@alranel https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/slic3r/website/40/workflows/19e67aa5-92a7-46f0-ab91-1b88235572f5/jobs/43

CircleCI broke trying to pull down code.

You are correct but that is the advantages and disadvantages of both types of software. I like the concept of open source software. I like thast my Tevo Tornado printer is so easy to upgrade. Unlike my first printer the XYZ Devinci 1.0 printer and my Monoprice Mini Delta. Both printers are really not very upgradable and hard to fix. I just for 3D printing need something that works. At least on the Marlin firmware side. I don't need cutting edge features. I just need it to work.
