Dear fellow repetier users,
I have just migrated from Marlin to Repetier version 0.82 (07-03-2013). My hardware is a Rostock Mini delta bot, and my electronics are RAMPS 1.4 with a G3D LCD+SD reader. Marlin ran flawless on my setup, but lacked proper delta bot integration, which gave me headache.
Now, with Repetier installed, I am blessed with a much better delta bot firmware, but a strange problem.
My prints run fine... but only for a while... I normally leave the bot to attend to itself, but ever since the firmware upgrade, when I come back, I find a machine that has stopped in the mindst of printing. Heat is still on and regulated for both extruder and heat bed. The firmware is not frozen. I can manually move the axis of the machine using the LCD user interface. I can also home the bot. However, trying to stop/restart/resume print jobs from the SD card, nothing happens. The status line in the display just show the following line: "Printing...41%" (or whatever percentage the machine managed to finish before mysteriously stopping)
I have tried to reduce delta line segments and buffer sizes to check if it was a memory problem, but that did not fix the problem. Any ideas of what could be the cause?
I have attached a photo showing the stalled print jobs. The two prints has been sliced with different parameters, so I still need to test whether the problem is systematic (whether the machine stalls at the same spot each time) or whether it is random.
I have also attached my configuration.h file. Other than that I have only altered the beeper-pin for the G3D LCD display in the pins.h file .
Lastly, I use slicer 0.99 as job generator.
