Netfab (Mac) doesn't connect

[xonegon 0]

Hi all,

I installed the latest version of Cura on the mac and updated to the latest firmware.

Now, I want to give netfabb a go...

I choose the ultimaker machine with a baudrate of 250000 and select the correct input (usb....)

When i click connect (in the usb section) I hear the machine clicking and making some sounds, but it does not connect. :cry:

Any help with this ?

It's the latest ultimaker (ATMEGA2560?), and i installed the latest firmware trough Cura 12.10.

(Mac OSX lion) (netfabb 4.9.3)

Hey man, Im having the exact same problem, and no one tells how to turn back to the default firmware once you update it on cura... "if that would be the cause" got excited to read your post but no one gave you any feedback...

how did you solve it???

not sure if NF was ever able to connect to the UM, afaik, it was always a pipe dream. save your gcode to your disk or SD, and print via printrun or SD card.

That is great advice Joergen. Connecting Netfabb to Ultimaker usually leads to your Ultimaker acting like it needs an Exorcism.

IMHO based only on my experiences. The management may not agree with the authors thoughts and opinions.
