Due to the demand I wrote a small how to for the UP3DTOOLS<\/p>\n

You can find small notes also on my github directly:\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/MaikStohn\/UP3D<\/a><\/p>\n

A nice GUI application is in the works, but this will take some time.<\/p>\n

The tools now can be used like this:
\n1.) slice your object<\/strong> and save the myobject.gcode file to the same folder as you have the 3 downloaded tool (up3dtranscode, up3dload and up3dshell)
\nWindows<\/em>: make a folder “C:\\UP3DTOOLS” and put things there
\nMacOS<\/em>: make a folder on your Desktop “UP3DTOOLS” and put things there
\nLinux<\/em>: … you know how to do …<\/p>\n

2.) Make sure the original UP software is not open before you continue<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.) Turn printer on, you don’t need to initialize.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4.) open a command prompt \/ terminal \/ shell<\/strong>
\nWindows<\/em>: Press <Windows>+<R><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> key and in the “Run…” dialog type cmd<\/strong><\/span> and press enter
\nMacOS<\/em>: click on spotlight search icon and type terminal<\/strong><\/span> and press enter
\nLinux<\/em>: … you know how to …<\/p>\n

5.) change to the folder with your .gcode file and the 3 tools<\/strong>
\nWindows<\/em>: type cd C:\\UP3DTOOLS<\/strong><\/span> and press enter
\nMacOS<\/em>: type in cd Desktop\/UP3DTOOLS<\/strong><\/span> and press enter
\nLinux<\/em>: … you know how to …<\/p>\n

6.) run the transcoder<\/strong> (personally I like to use “.umc” as extension for UpMachineCode)
\nALL<\/em>: type up3dtranscode machine myobject.gcode myobject.umc 123.1<\/strong><\/span> and press enter
\n(First parameter is your machine type: mini \/ classic \/ plus \/ box)
\n<\/span>(Last parameter is the nozzle height. Usually add 0.2mm to your existing nozzle height from UP software. E.g. in UP software you have 122.9 then try 123.1)<\/p>\n

7.) run the uploader<\/strong>
\nALL<\/em>: type up3dload myobject.umc<\/strong> <\/span> and press enter
\n(printer will start automatically after uploading, the heated bed is turned on first and apx. after 3 minutes the print starts)<\/p>\n

8.) OPTIONAL: run up3dshell<\/strong> if you like to see progress on your computer (layer\/height\/percent\/time remaining):
\nALL<\/em>: type up3dshell<\/strong><\/span> and press enter (use <Ctrl>+<C><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to exit the program, print will continue)<\/p>\n

(You also can start the original UP! Software after<\/strong> uploading to monitor the print progress)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
