Pronterface/Printrun - Build request

[drock]

Awesome! can't wait to try this out once my new bed is done.

After some frustration (mostly related to me forgetting that Pandora has a USB host software toggle, needing a usb hub, and having to add myself to the dialout group) I also printed a file I had previously sliced on my desktop.  Just a 20x20x10mm calibration "cube" to see if it would work.  

It all seems to work pretty well once set up.  If I set the panel to autohide I can even see the whole program.  

I may have to draw up and print out a little dock for the pandora to sit on top the machine.

Thanks so much ptitSeb!  1000 more internet points for you if you can figure out slic3r.

@TrashyMG: That video is great ! 1st 3D Printing from a Panodra.

I'll look at that slicer issue. I'll frst try to fix skeinforge if it's easy (like, some small missing dependencies), and have a serious look at Slic3r after that.

 

[ptitSeb]

Here is a new build of Printrun.

It will need the new build of wxPython.pnd just updated.

I think I have fixed the file error, skeinforge is now in the correct path and the setting dialog is showing (with build 02 of wxPython only).

Still no Slic3r, as it's a perl program and need a whole lots of new files (I started doing it, so the file size increase, but it's not finished, and to compile Slic3r, I had to inibit thoses 2 tests, so not sure it's functionning well enough) 

printrun.pnd

 

[TrashyMG]

Cool, I'll try it out.

hmm skienforge still doesn't launch when you bring up slicer options.. mounted the pnd manually and ran the runscript to see any debug messages...

Entering slicer settings: python skeinforge/skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py
You do not have Tkinter, which is needed for the graphical interface, you will only be able to use the command line.
Information on how to download Tkinter is at:
www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/

Edit: I can confirm saves are working just fine on a fat32 SD card.

Oh

I tried with codeblocks mounted, so it worked. I have to a closer look (just to confirm, you updated wxpython first, because the tcl/tk libs are there).

 

[TrashyMG]

Yeah It should of been updated.. I downloaded the new PND and cleared out my appdata.

Let me re-download just to confirm.

Let me re-download just to confirm.

I'll try to fix that... Will relanch it tomorow and see with a losf | grep python what lib I may be missing (or maybe it's not a lib, I don't know tcl/tk very well)...

 

[TrashyMG]

redownloaded.. no go.. However this time it spit out more details.

this should never happen, getDisplayedDialogFromConstructor in settings could not open

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

Warning, displayedDialogFromConstructor in settings is none, so the window will not be displayed.

 

[ptitSeb]

Ok. This is helpfull Looks like I can easily fix that by adding the tcl/tk libs just inside the wxpython/lib folder. I will update wxpython soon...

I suspect you have to set TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY.

 

[ptitSeb]

I haven't set thoses 2 variables in codeblocks and it runs. What are their used? To set the lib folder? It seems the default search path includes /mnt/utmp/wxpython/lib/tcl8.5 so putting files here should be enough?

 

[_jr_]

Yes, that should be good enough. I was assuming that they were already included in a different path. Sorry for not having checked.

No issue advices are always welcome!

 

[ptitSeb]

I uploaded Build 03 of wxPython. With this one, the panel of skeinforge should show now!

^ Great that did the trick.. now to learn how to configure skeinforge properly..

Great ! I'll publish it on the repo (that will also make a new entry in the Alive and Kicking competition, in the new use category)

Nothing too exciting, but I sliced some more files yesterday on my PC and had the Pandora run the printer for about 6 hours.  Rock solid, no issues.

(Please ignore the mess and background kid noise.)

 

[TrashyMG]

Nice!, You have a pretty nice setup..

 FYI I've had some success with Slic3r, even though it fails some of the tests after compiling, It seems to slice everything I throw at it fine. so maybe it's okay?...  Ptitseb is going to try to bundle up all the perl dependencies and add it to the PND.
