ultimaker 3 connection problem with repetier host V2.1.6

[yuanyuan 0]

i am trying to connect repetier host to ultimaker 3, but can't connect them.

3d printer connection should be fine, since i can print out stuff with cura. 

i am wondering is it possible the problem is the port? I connect with IP address and port (80). 

any help?

It is not possible. The network connection is only working for Cura.

oh, my plan is to edit the gcode to control the 3d printer, that's why i download the repetier, any suggestions?

You can save the GCode , edit the file and then copy it to the USB stick and print from the stick. 

It should also be possible to load the GCode back to Cura to send it via network.

@yuanyuan you can take a look at the API - a link to the documentation is on the "homepage" of the printer. I guess that repetier host doesn't support the Ultimaker API.

And there's the "sendgcode" tool on the printer itself (accessible in developer mode).
