  1. I thought I had cura figured out but I guess I don't. When it prints a circle it just jerks and sometime it stops.I have posted my gcode settings on here so if someone could help me it would be appreciated. 

     

    I used my new laptop and cura works fine now so disregard my post.

  2. CU_Ninjaneer    I don't have a comparison program to check your settings but the only thing I see is that the line 2 and 6 have semi colons and mine don't. Here are my gcode.

  4. I finally got cura to work with the alta printer. The one problem I have is when it does it's priming it moves to the back of the build plate and back to the front. It is not doing like the silhouette program. I have went over the gcode several times and it looks the same that is posted here. Is there a fix for this ? (Thanks) It does prime the nozzle but then it moves like I posted.

    Mikeyfromindy, are you talking about Cura or Silhouette3D?  If Silhouette 3D, do you know if your graphics card supports OpenGL 1.2?  That's the only GPU requirement I see in their documentation.  If Cura, you need a GPU that supports OpenGL 2.0 or better according to Cura's documentation.

     

    FYI, I had a 2009 Dell laptop that was pretty state of the art at the time when I bought it (pretty expensive), and it just barely met the minimum specs for Silhouette 3D.  It would run the software, but it couldn't really keep up, and I never completed a print on it because  the software would crash.  I had to use something newer with more power.

    I was talking about the silhouette alta. I do have a older laptop but it runs some pretty intense programs like fuson 360 and others. I tried to find out if my card support open gl but I can't find that information. I have a intel HD Graphics card 8.15.10.2900. I have a small tablet that runs the same card but a little newer and it will run the program fine.

  6. I bought the silhouette alta new from a third party and I can't load the software on my 2012 laptop. I have a intel video card and the software won't load because it says I need to install a new video driver. There is no new driver to install for this card. Has anyone have any ideas what to do.
