I wanted to try repetier and slic3r with my max v2.
Other than the normal speeds/infill/temps/etc...
Do I need to also setup the starting and ending gcodes under the printer settings/scripts?
What else do i need to setup that isn't obvious?
Is there a faq or manual for this?

Hey i saw no one has had a chance to answer your question yet so i thought i would help. Here is a link to the orginal assembly guide for the rostock max v2 that has instructions on how to set up with repetier host. The information on the process starts on page 220 of the guide.

Hope that helps and answers your questions. Dan

Thank You. That is what i needed. The manual i downloaded used mattercontrol instead of repetier. I have been using repetier for 2 days now and so far I think it is better than mattercontrol!

Awesome glad i could help! Ive used repetier host for a while as well and really liked it til i ran into a weird issue. the last time i had used it i set my bed temp to 85c, started my print, then walked away. When i checked on it after about an hour all was fine. 3 hours later i double checked everything in repetier and noticed my bed temp was way higher than it should be and had been for over an our. it had made it up to 112c even tho set point was at 85c. using the slider i dropped it about a 1c and then the temp fell from 112c down to the correct temp. havent used it since for the fear of damaging my heatbed. may try out KISS soon tho.

Repetier host isn't going to do that during a print - all it does is shove g-code over the serial port as fast as the remote end can take it. If you got a weird bed temp it was due to a g-code command specifically setting that temperature. I'd sift through the g code looking for bed temp commands.

Thank you thats a good idea. Im still in the learning so that was something i didnt consider at first. I will slice something in rep host and export the gcode to see if i notice anything that doesnt look right. Dan
