Posted · Software for Printrbot Metal Plus

I bought a Printrbot Metal Plus in late 2015, and I was able to use it with Cura (13.x, I think) at that time, and it worked well. 

 

I have recently come back to use the printer, but although Cura 15.4.0 has pronterface, providing feedback and allowing the calibration of the autolevel sensor, it does not seem usable.  The feedback window shows jibberish. 

 

I have tried Cura 4.5.0, but this does not seem to allow the adjustment.  I tried using the commands to reset the print head height (M212 command) in the monitor window where it indicates that g-code can be input, but it does not seem to affect the height.  Does anyone have an idea of what I need to do to be able to calibrate and print?

 

Thanks.

 

Dennis.

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
