FAQ

Q: How can I add (sliced) model files? A: Copy (i.e. with ssh) your models into [Build Dir]/job_files. This path can also be changed in the configuration file (b9CreatorSettings.json) . The web interface does not support a plain upload form.

Q: Support TinyPrint b9j-Files?
A: Yes, if the Qt4 dev packages are installed, TinyPrint will compiled with b9j file support.
Moreover, you can export a b9j file into a batch of slices and load the slices. See Convert-B9j-Files.

Q: (Raspberry Pi) Red grid lines will be displayed blue on Raspberry Pi. A: Add the following option to your /boot/config.txt:

framebuffer_swap=1

If this doen't work try the (older) workaround and -DFLIP_COLOR=1 to the cmake options to avoid this issue.

Q: (Raspberry Pi) TinyPrint crashes with the following error, if the display was activated.

(*) FBDev/Surface: Allocated 1024x768 32 bit RGB32 buffer (index 0) at offset 0 and pitch 2624.
(*) FBDev/Mode: Setting 1024x768 RGB32
(*) FBDev/Mode: Switched to 1024x768 (virtual 1024x768) at 32 bit (RGB32), pitch 4096
 (!!!)  *** WARNING [unable to adjust heap offset] *** [../../../systems/fbdev/surfacemanager.c:167 in dfb_surfacemanager_adjust_heap_offset()]

A: A display framebuffer is to small to store the whole slice. Please add the following lines to your /boot/config.txt and restart your Raspberry Pi.

framebuffer_width=1024
framebuffer_height=768
framebuffer_depth=32
framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1

Q: (Raspberry Pi) How can I start TinyPrint automatically?
A: One solution can be found on Start-TinyPrint-on-virtual-console.
