Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

To make sure everything is hunky dory before a long print, i like to double
check calibrations.

Put the 4 scripts from the manual as follows:
script 1-> Zcal.gco
script 2-> Ycal.gco
script 3-> Zcal.gco
script 4-> xyzcal.gco (center)
I also put just G28 in xyztop.gco, for convenience

hint, starting file names with x y and z puts the tiny calibration files
at the end of the file list, so out of the way till you need them.

>>> WARNING <<<
I always type lower case, and repetier apparently upcases for you.
MAKE SURE THE SCRIPS GCODE is all UPPER CASE!
G28
not
g28

where are you putting the script?? is this for the SD card use?? still haven't tried mine yet.

is it bad that I have no idea what any of this means?

yes, the files go on the SD.
The display is a bit bizarre to use, until you figure out you can click the turny knob.
Click it, turn it lest till you see SD card. Click, turn and click print file.

If you don't have a rostock max with sd card & display, disregard this.

The scripts are in the rostock max manual on how to calibrate the bed flatness.

how do I calibrate bed flatness on the orion? I think its why this keeps happening to me:
When I came back later to see how this turned out the extruder nozzle was covered in a round ball of fuzz crap and the part was NEXT TO THE MACHINE ON THE DESK, sorry didn't get a pic of that

TFMike, that is edge curl, can be related to bed flatness, but not usually. Start a new thread in troubleshooting and we can walk you through fixing it.

I don't think Repetier is case-sensitive.

If you mean it does not list alphabetically, i agree.
It just lists in the order of the fat32 directory.

You can put the call files in a sub folder to keep them out of the way,
but the order is not controllable at present.

I mean I don't think the g-code interpreter cares about case.

Oh, it definately does!
The repetier host upcases, which is confusing if you are typing in to a gcode file.
The host works with lower case, the files DO NOT, not for 'g' or 'x' or 's' ...

in gcode.cpp
gcode_parse_ascii()
line 902
if((pos = strchr(line,'G'))!=0) { // G command

That routine ONLY looks for upper case gcode letters.

Painfully found trying to understand why the gcode typed into my host did not work in a file.

Cheers.

Cool! I never knew Repetier was uppercasing for me.
