    Tweaking Pronterface

    D'oh!

    I've done something with my Pronterface. I used to be able to view a print layer by layer, but I've changed something, but don't know what, and now I can't do this. Can someone help a poor old OME?

    What happens when you click on the image in the grid in the main window?

    I get another grid with nothing on it. That's where I used to be able to go through the object layer by layer to see how it printed. That's what I can't get it to do now, but what I would like to do.

    I get the same blank grid and need to use either the mouse scroll wheel or the buttons on the right to get the first layer to display. Let me know what version of pronterface you have installed and I'll send you my settings.

    When click on either grid, I only get an image of the first layer. I can't get 3D views either (never have).

    I can't tell what version I have. I think I'll go and chase a new version now.

    EDIT: Just downloaded the March 2014 version and problem solved.

    I've run into this... And the previous version had the 3D viewing fixed, but it could not pause and resume. So I ended up having two installed depending on what I needed at the moment. Now I've started using http://gcode.ws/# to look at various layers and such. That way I don't need to use Pronterface to do it.
