<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Tried it again today. Brought in an 8GB SD card, formatted it to a single 2GB FAT16 partition like the internet said. Imported some Slic3r gcode into ReplicatorG, exported an x3g file, and the printer said "SD Card Read Error." Tried again with a 1GB partition and no luck. Maybe I'll try a real 2GB SD card next, or slicing in ReplicatorG.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 30, 2016 at 11:17 PM, Adrian Kelly <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ahalekelly@gmail.com" target="_blank">ahalekelly@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Yeah I left the ReplicatorG GUI window in the foreground, didn't open anything else on that computer.

I find that it loses its serial connection if you have it in the background. My trick is to scp my stl or gcode files over to threed.local and run ReplicatorG in the foreground there (and turn off the display auto lock in the power saving settings while I'm at it).<br><br>Cheers,<div>Phil</div><div><br></div><div>Sent from my iPhone</div></div><div><div><div><br>On Apr 30, 2016, at 10:02 PM, Adrian Kelly <<a href="mailto:ahalekelly@gmail.com" target="_blank">ahalekelly@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Hey all,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">I spent a couple hours today trying to do my first print, and the serial connection to the printer kept disconnecting. I tried multiple cables, rebooted both the desktop computer and printer several times, and never made it through the first layer. It seemed to be getting worse, and by the end, it wouldn't even make it through preheat before the serial connection dropped. Does anyone know why this is happening? The wiki said it might be because other programs are using too much processing power, but ReplicatorG was the only program open. I'll be back tomorrow with an SD card and will try it that way.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br>I was also reading about the Sailfish firmware and it sounds like it's a more reliable and better maintained firmware. The Makerbot firmware we're running now actually uses the Sailfish back end, forked in 2012, and Sailfish is fully compatible with all the same software as the Makerbot firmware. Are there any objections to switching?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Adrian Kelly</div></div>
