Instructions: up3dtools-how-to
This command line tools support printers from Tiertime see http://www.up3d.com for more information. It allows you to use other advanced slicers together with your UP printer. The tools process and upload standard G-Code files to your UP printer.
A packaged GUI frontend myUP.app for OS X is available under downloads. It allows to explore interactively the various transcoder settings.
G-Code to UpMachineCode (UMC) converter
Usage: up3dtranscode machinetype input.gcode output.umc nozzleheight [a_factor] [vmax_factor] [junction]
machinetype: mini / classic / plus / box / Cetus
input.gcode: g-code file from slic3r/cura/simplify
output.umc: up machine code file which will be generated
nozzleheight: nozzle distance from bed (e.g. 123.45)
a_factor: acceleration factor in percent to defaults (.e.g. 50)
vmax_factor: speed factor in percent to max defaults (e.g. 150)
junction: junction deviation, default is 0.05 (e.g. 0.1)
example: up3dtranscode mini input.gcode output.umc 123.1 20 150 0.1
this reads input.gcode and generates an output.umc for the UP mini with nozzle height
set to 123.1. The acceleration for the printer is reduced to 20%, max speed is set to
150% and junction deviation is set to 0.1
See list of supported G-Commands in wiki page G-Command Overview
UpMachineCode (UMC) uploader, sends the umc file to printer and starts a print
Usage: up3dload output.umc
Interactive printer monitor and debugging tool, use to watch printing
Usage: up3dshell
Keyboard commands
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| CTRL-c | Aborts the program |
| CTRL-r | Refresh display |
| p | Power printer on |
| q | Stop printing, power off and quit |
| 0 | Run ROM Program 0 |
Program to show the details of the connected UP printer
Usage: up3dinfo
Program to show current print status and to control the printer
Usage: ./up3dstatus [stop | on | off]
stop: stops current print and reports status
on: switch printer on and reports status
off: switch printer off and reports status
no parameter reports current printer status:
<machine>;<program>;<system>;<temp>;<layer>;<height>;<percent>;<time>
<machine>: machine state
<program>: program state
<system>: numeric value machine state
<temp>: current nozzle temperture in C
<layer>: reported printing layer
<height>: reported printing height in mm
<percent>: reported completion in percent
<time>: reported time remaining in seconds
Program to convert UP machine code to standard g-code for e.g. review
Usage: up3dconvg machinetype input.umc
machinetype: mini / classic / plus / box / Cetus
input.gcode: up machine code file which will be read
Program to capture the axis positions during a running print. The capture sapling rate is ca 2ms. The capture stops automatically when the printer returns into idle mode.
Usage: up3dcapture
Program to process captured data from up3dcapture to g-code. It uses some advanced filtering to generate larger segments.
Usage: togcode input.capture [average]
input.capture: machine capture file
average: not implemented yet
