Repetier Host Doesn't Display Geometry

Post by hamiltucky » Thu Jun 04, 2015 9:08 am

I'm brand new here, just built my first machine (Acrylic i3 Prusa) and loaded the Repetier Host program. The program connects with the print fine, controls the printer fine, as far as I can tell, but when I place an STL in the window nothing appears. The object windows shows it's there, the Slicer program reads and slices it, but nothing appears in the window, nothing, not the bed or the parts.

Help please!

(Windows Vista, GEEETech i3 Prusa Acrylic)

Hi, can you leave some screen shots?
And the baud rate should be 250000.

I found through searching the problem lies within the display adapter setting (the video card). If I set the display to 16bit color then the geometry will display and Repetier functions adequately to use for building parts. However if I set to 32bit the program does not function and the geometry will not display.
This may be due to having an older system running Windows Vista. I have tried running Repetier on a Windows 8.1 system and it seems to function properly at 32 bit.
