Creator Pro & S3D "Uploading to SD Card"
Anyone getting this to work? I have port set and baud rate set 11500, which allows S3D to connect to the printer but.....
When I hit the "Upload to SD", the printer starts the heat-up process as if I wanted S3D to Print the item (I have not waited to see if it will actually print - don't want to print from computer) and the file never uploads to the SD card..
I would like to Upload to the SD card and then Print from SD card from inside S3D.
Is this possible?

I don't specifically know but uploading to SD takes an age, it is not usable at all.
Buy a Flashair and use that.

yes
There are a couple of recent threads about how to do it. They are excellent, pretty perfect for the job you need.

works fine - but it is a simulated serial connection - so it's not fast :-)
But it does work without any problems on my basic creator.

It doesn't work "properly" on anything, it just works. Transferring a file that way can take hours. If you think it isn't working then try a very small file, just a few bytes big and I bet it works, you are just expecting to be able to do it in a day and it may take longer than that. It really is of no use. Either print over USB (not recommended) or swap the SD card about or get a Flashair.

as mj says there are no settings. If the printer is talking to s3d then it's correctly setup.
To put this into perspective 11500 is BITS - not bytes. so it's 1012 bits to a byte and 1012 bytes to a megabyte.
And it has to do a check and verify for each byte sent - which is the serial part of the connection.
Which is why it's so slow and why I can't figure out why modern devices like 3d printers still use the oldest and slowest communications protocol there is.

I hate to be picky but......its 1024 not 1012.
Thanks Bob
