After installing repplicator 0029 the program locks up. my machine keeps printing but theres no acces to th gui. I can't stop the print, or close the program or anything it becomes compleatly un responsive. Do I need to up date the firmware?
Any body have any similar problems or solutions?
Thanks
Gregg
I had similar issues, so I've gone back to V27, which is very solid for me.
Upgrade to the new firmware for the Gen4 interface http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15380 and forget the buggy repg :D

Please elaborate.. I have been thinking of getting the interface, already have gen4 electronics on my custom MB and it's doing pretty well. What is your experience with the interface?
Thanks
Prev to this firmware: Gen4 interface was a lie, not real PC free operation
Now: you only need repg to make the gcode, the printer have better control than repg now. I have my TOM now in the first floor, away from my PC ;) perfect (zero lag) prints always
I've also had lockups in replicator 0029 and this has affected the build quality. The symptom looks like skipped steps and shifting layers.
The solution is to use the SD card for printing. The exact same ToM with the same gcode will then print perfectly. No other changes required.
I didn't have these problems with 0027.
