Can't connect to FlashForge Creator Pro

[kir13y]

I've just reinstalled octoprint on my raspberry pi (using octopi) and then restored my settings through the backup/restore menu. It restored all of my plugins and the printer profile but for some reason, I can't connect to my printer anymore. I have my baud rate set to 115200 and the serial port set to /dev/ttyprintk which is what I used last time. At first it would give a permission error when accessing that port which I solved by changing the permissions through ssh.

Here is the log when trying to connect:

Connecting to: /dev/ttyprintk

Do you have the GPX plugin installed?

Looks like it didn't get reinstalled when I did the restore. Installing it and configuring it for replicator dual fixed the issue. Thanks!

Have you seen this?:

Known Printer Profiles for OctoPrint

Collected Printer Profiles Make sure to scroll to the right to see the entire table. Instructions During the initial Setup Wizard, you can create your printer's profile. Afterwards, you can create one or more printer profiles by visiting Settings -> Printer Profiles -> Add Profile... as necessary. Brand Model Form Factor Origin Heated Bed Width Depth Height Custom Bound-ing Box MaxX (inverted?) MaxY (inverted?) MaxZ (inverted?) E Nozzle Extruders Who Notes..................................…

hi @Ewald_Ikemann

my printer isnt on that list. i suppose if i found all of those detail i would be able to create a profile? or would i need codes for bed heating and that kind of thing?

[Ewald_Ikemann]

You could use the settings from the Creator and adapt the things you have on your Creator 2

@Ewald_Ikemann
