New Creality Ender 3 accessories have started to arrive. Have a look in our online store for necessary add-ons to increase your productivity and reliability of your Ender 3. 24v Blower Fans are in. These are the fans used with the Petsfang cooling duct modification for the Ender 3. Replacement NTC 3950 Temperature Sensor assemblies have arrived. Feb 01, 2019 Check out this simple guide to learn how to set up OctoPrint for your Ender 3 using the latest Raspberry Pi Zero. (Also suitable for the Ender 3 Pro.). Upper middle of control box is a Micro Mini USB port. I have yet to use it but it could potentially be a way to connect your computer directly to the Ender 3 for printing and/or monitoring prints. The Ender 3 randomly stopped being recognized by Windows when connected via USB. It had worked just fine before, but all of a sudden, I'm entirely unable to communicate with the machine via USB connection.

Note: For online printing, you need to connect computer to the 3D printer through the data cable. During the printing process, do not turn off the computer power, do not make computer screen save or hibernate to prevent data transmission failure. In general do not suggest users to use it for the complicated operations.

Firstly load model file, set printing parameter including 'Basic' and 'Advanced' parameters, then connect the 3D printer to PC.

1. 3D printer Driver installation

Power on the printer, connect USB to the computer, and the driver will be installed automatically. If can not install automatically, please open the 'Device Management', find a port with a yellow exclamation mark, right click 'Update Driver'. Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'.

Another way is to stop Repetier-Server in the host:

We recommend: Connect Repetier-Host via Repetier-Server

When Repetier-Server is connected to the printer, you can connect multiple Repetier-Hosts to Repetier-Server at the same time. This gives you a lot of advantages:

• Repetier-Server runs even on small and cheap PCs like Raspberry Pi, … with Linux, Windows and Mac. Of course you can run Repetier-Server on the same machine as Repetier-Host.
• You can control your printer even from your smartphone and tablet und see via webcam, what the printer is doing.
• Full flexibility – Access and control your 3D printers from anywhere.
• You get rendered preview images for all stored G-Codes.
• Small memory requirement – Prints files of any size with new file management. Prints prefetch only the next 5,000 lines. G-Code preview only loads single layers.
• The print continues even when the Repetier-Host is closed.
• Price calculation – You get the production costs before printing. We even split usage by extruder.
• Multi printer support – Repetier-Server connects and prints on multiple printers simultaneously.

Connecting via Repetier-Server

First you should install and start Repetier-Server, after that you can connect Repetier-Host to Repetier-Server.

Upload Config File

The easiest way to set up a new printer is to upload an existing config file. Go to and click on Upload Printer Configuration. Enter a printer name, select the configuration file and click Create Printer.
That's all. Maybe you must select the COM port.

To set the port, select your new printer on the left side and go to Settings -> Printer Settings.

To create a configuration file, go to Dashboard and click Actions -> Download Configuration in the printer
overview.

Another very simple way to add a new printer is our Configuration Wizard. Go to and click on -> Add new Printer.

Step 1: Naming
In the first step you just have to enter the printer name and click Continue with Step 2 .

Step 2: Connecting printer
Here you have to select, which firmware is used, you have to set the Device / Port.
The boud rate can be set to autodetect, which will test the typical rates. In case autodetect fails, you have to set it yourself.

To speed up communication, the server sends as many commands as possible in a row. To prevent data loss, it is essential to know
how many bytes the firmware can store, before the firmware buffer overflows. All known firmwares support at least 63 bytes.
AVR based firmwares normally support 127 bytes.

Click Continue with Step 3 to connect the printer.

Step 3: Geometry
Here you can set the dimensions and bed shape of your printer.
Then click Continue with Step 4 .

Step 4: Extruders and bed
Set the number of extruders and the filament diameter.
Typical filament diameters are 1,75 mm and 2,85 mm.
Then click Continue with Step 5 .

Step 5: Features
Check if you have installed a fan, a sd card reader and if you can enable main power
with software command. Then click Finizsh Wizard . That's all.

Settings

Select your printer on the left side and go to Settings -> Printer Settings or call it
from your Dashboard at Actions -> Printer Settings.

Here you can set all printer related parameter. So it is a good idea, to check these settings once your printer works.
The settings are split into several categories to make navigation easier. To save the changed settings, press
Save Configuration. If you leave settings without saving, you will get a security question to prevent accidential data loss.
For parameters which may be difficult to understand you get a popover with detailed information when you click on the text field.

Here you find a manual how to set up a webcam in Repetier-Server for Windows, Linux and Mac.

Heatup and Cooldown Wizard

To calculate exact printing times, you should run the Heatup and Cooldown Wizard. This feature measures heating and cooling speed needed for accurate printing time prediction.

1. Go to Settings -> Printer Settings -> Extruder and click Start Wizard.
   
2. Make sure your printer has power! Then enter the temperatures for extriders and beds, then click Start Measurement.
   
3. Now you have to wait. The wizard tracks the warming and cooling speeds, which will take some time, especially the cooling of the bed is time intensive.
   
4. When sou see Heating and cooling speeds were computed and stored., the wizard is ready. The exact values for Heatup Speed and Cooldown Speed are stored autamatically.

Open Repetier-Server and go to ->Global Settings.

Then click Connectivity.

Copy the API Key to the clipboard.

Open Repetier-Host and click Printer Settings. Transfer pics from android to ipad.

1. Printer: Enter your printer name.
2. Connector: Select Repetier-Server as Connector.
3. IP Address: Enter localhost or the used IP Address.
4. Port: Enter 3344.
5. API Key: Enter the saved API Key from the clipboard.
6. Click Connect to Continue

Now you can select your printer from the printer list and the click Copy Server Config Settings.

Repetier-Host will import the most settings from Repetier-Host, so this is quite easy.

Now you can check the printer and extruder settings and click OK.

Now you can Connect/Disconnect your printer in Repetier-Host to the server. If you disconnect your printer in Repetier-Host, the printer will still be connected to Repetier-Server.

When the printer is connected you can slice and print regulary (you can close Repetier-Host once the print job has started without stopping printing), but you also have the opportunity to upload the G-Code to Repetier-Server, to use it again and to get rendered preview images. Just click Save to Server. Of course also the Manual Contol will work as used.

If the printer is connected via Repetier-Server, you will get the new tab Server. Here you can see your stored G-Codes. When you mark them, you will get the preview image and you can start the print job. While printing you can stop or pause the print and get some printing informations.

Serial Connection

If you want to connect Repetier-Host directly with your printer, you should use the serial connection.

To communicate with your printer, you first have to select the correct port. If you plug in the usb cable while this dialog is open, the port dropdown list will update automatically, so that the added port will show up.

After that you have to set the correct baud rate. 95% of all printers use 115200 or 250000. It is very important to use the correct baud rate!

Notice that even if the baud rate is wrong, you can connect to the printer, but when connected you get the message 1 Commands Waiting as you can see on this image:

After that you can enter the other settings. The receive cache size is nearly always 127. If you get many communication errors while printing, you might need to go down to 63.

TCP/IP Connection

If you want to connect your printer via ethernet without Repetier-Server, what we recommend, you can choose TCP/IP Connection. This will send the same data as it would with serial connection. Except IP Address and Port, which must match your printer, the settigs are the same as for the serial connection.
