Where do you type this in Cura? The community plugin "Duet RepRapFirmware Integration" is the only possible way AFAIK. It can by installed via the marketplace. Or is it exactly this part that does not work?

I type the duet ip address when u want to add a new printer via ethernet

Yes, exactly.

Unless there exists already a predefined printer definition for the exact printer model that supports this connection method (but I'm not aware of one).

I think you're talking about the button "Add printer by IP"? I may be wrong, but this function is meant to connect Ultimaker printers only (AFAIK).

Theoretically, other printers types could be "hooked into" that dialog, but a plugin would need to be installed for that, and AFAIK, the "Duet RepRapFirmware Integration" you mentioned above does not yet support this dialog.

Then feel free not to use it.

 

I said plugins can hook in to the dialog you are trying to use. The plugin you downloaded doesn't.

 

The intended workflow with this plugin is you first add your printer as a "local", non networked printer, and then add the network connection via Extensions -> DuetRRF -> DuetRRF Connections.

i def will feel free to no use it and ill use slic3r which connects easliy to my duet seems like the program is made just for the ulitimaker and thats it way too much of a hassel to get to work properly i mean ive been at this for days just trying to connect my duet to the thing through ethernet and no luck i download the susposed fix for duets and still nothing

[bigwood247 1]

how is it that i type in the ip address and it says could not connect to device  and im sorry for saing its a shitty program im mad ive been trying for days 

[bigwood247 1]

also i did what u said already i added it as a non networked custom printer and it does slice the file and i can save the file to my desktop and i can go into duet web control and manually add the file but thats not what i want to do i want to use the program to directly send the sliced file to the duet web control  through my ethernet connection

 

[bigwood247 1]

never mind i think i got that plugin to work now i still cant connect to it but i was able to use the plugin and add my ip addrfess on there now when i slice the file it gives me an option to print on my duet 

 

[bigwood247 1]

thanks for the help and im sorry for calling its a shitty program as i said i was pissed at the moment and i should of not sent that msg wile i was mad

It depends... 🙂

One thing is: one can choose an emulation type, it's a firmware setting see M555

This only affects response messages on the serial console AFAIK. Simply choose the same on both ends, and it should be fine.

 

Reprap firmware is (by default) compatible with "Marlin".

I think there are only marginal differences in the output that Cura generates for both flavors.

k thanks alot for the help ill try the rep rap one first and if it doesnt work ill try the other
