ST3Di Modelsmart 280 - Duet Maestro repair/upgrade
-
Hello
Had to go to work this morning, so just thought I would acknowledge your much appreciated efforts,
I will get on with using the driver package you sent via email and have downloaded the latest cura version, in an effort to increase my knowledge in this field.
Anyway thanks again for taking the time, if you have any further information that may help my basic attempts to understand g-code that would also be appreciated. Kind regards Tony -
@blacksheep99 stedi file worked perfect, printer back in communication with PC, thanks for taking the time again, very much appreciated, Kind Regards Tony

@tony glad to hear you’re back up and running. Happy to be able to help

Hello,
Maybe I am to late to join this conversation, but i got exactly the same issue as @tony.
Is it for me also possible to get the st3di driver or the word document so i can slide it in Cura, (or both ;D)?
That would be very helpfull for me. Thanks in advance.Regards Hulsie3216

@hulsie3216 hi, sorry I’ve just seen this. Currently on holiday but I’ll send you the info when I get a chance
-
@hulsie3216 can u send me the settings for cura because I tried slicing something and uploading it to the sd card and nothing shows?
-
@blacksheep99 by any chance to u still have the g code edit?
-
@danwilliams94 I have a guide somewhere. I'll dig it out and put a link here

@blacksheep99 what would be ideal if I could get hold of the editor but I think the company went bust some time ago been looking online just incase someone made a copy of it but no look finding st3di edit
-
@danwilliams94 I have a copy. Link incoming

@blacksheep99
Worked perfect thank you for that your a life saver
My next question as these sealed spools of filament are no longer made I do have a full one but do u rekon I should make a spool holder and trick the machine because I have tons of standard pla and abs plastic on spools and I would rather use them because I can replace them fairly easily or would the st3di think something is wrong I'm not sure how smart this machine actually is tbh I'm not sure if u managed to use other rolls of filament and if so how -
@danwilliams94 I just used to leave on of the spools on and then feed in any of the other filaments I wanted to use. That was before I swapped out to the Duet
-
Hopefully this word doc has the config files in. The principles should still be true.
I'd move to Cura or Prusaslicer rather than use the old ST3DI slicer if you can.
The pla@**** is what is telling the printer how much filament you have used from their spools.

@blacksheep99
Yeah I'll give it ago again trying to set it up on cura later on its just abit of headscraching and headache then I'll figure it out
-
@blacksheep99 Hi I know I'm a bit late to the thread but I have a ST3Di 280 printer and I am trying to set it up with Cura and to use 3d party filament. But in you word document I am unable to open them and they seem to be formatted as images. do you have another way that I can access these files.
-
@asdfasdf426 Hi, send me a DM with your email. I'll send you the word doc. I hoped you could right click the links here and save as?
-
@blacksheep99 I can open the links in this thread to get the google doc, my problem is that when you say save these file in the doc I cant because when I click on them they are images and I don't know what's happening same thing with the Cura profile (the one in the document that you have created I cant open it and when I click on it is treated like an image.) And I am unable to open/save the setup files. I am not sure what the problem is do you have any idea
