How to set up Slic3r for PowerSpec Ultra 3D printer?

[jeffmorris]

How do I set up stand-alone Slic3r for PowerSpec Ultra 3D printer? Which firmware does the printer use? I think that stand-alone Slic3r is more powerful than the one that came with the printer.

I've never used it (I use S3D, its well worth the 150.00 bucks), but from what I've read you need to find a different slicer.

If it's a replicator clone - then you need something to convert gcode to x3g files.
Try this : https://knp3d.com/wp-content/uploads..._vs1.1.0.0.zip

with this version of slic3r: http://knp3d.com/software/#

I think that my printer is Flashforge Creator clone. The software that came with my printer generates gcode files.

I bought Simpiifly3D but I don't know how to set upSimplify3D for PowerSpec Ultra 3D. I think that my printer is Flashforge Creator clone but the cabinet is similar to Flashforge Creator Pro 3D.

I believe you need to use the FFCP machine.

Please look at the following 3D printers:

PowerSpec Ultra 3D at http://www.microcenter.com/product/4...tra_3D_Printer

Dremel 3D Idea Builder at https://3dprinter.dremel.com/

Flashforge Dreamer at http://www.flashforge-usa.com/shop/3...d-printer.html

These printers are Flashforge Dreamer clones and I tried to use the configuration file for Flashforge Dreamer but when I start printing, the heads start moving without waiting for the heated bed and extruders to heat up.

Ah, so it's a bit of a cross-breed machine... I believe you need to use the Flashforge Dreamer profile. As to why it starts printing before heating you will need to question their support or support forum.

did you try the files I posted links to ?

have you tried makerware yet ?
Your machine is NOT a dreamer - for slicer purposes it's a 'replicator dual'.

You cannot use gcode files you must convert to x3g files.

It looks like it's uses the Dreamer hardware with the Creator Pro body.. Strange little beasty for sure..
