Hi,
I am not the orginal contributor or autor of this software, but I may help you out as well as the autor does not seem to be that active here anymore.
You need phyton to run this software. Install phyton on your windows machine and then you should be able to run the script actually by using cmd for example.
If you still have questions or need help feel free to ask.
Keep tinkering

Hi, you don't need python but tcl/tk:

• https://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/
• http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads

I hope it works and it probably should with maybe only minor changes in the source. I am not using windows and have no possibility to test it. Please report if you got it working.

@sargantana Well I am not actively developing this software, but I am using it and everything works fine for me :)

@minad Sure, I got that checkbox issue a few hours after opening the issue.
Thank you a lot for this software, I am using it for all my prints with an Kossel Pro Delta printer and marlin firmware, working like a charm, and by far the best and most eye pleasing 3dprint hosting software for GNU/Linux based systems. So I guess you could add a note mentioning the marlin firmware support in the readme.
Huge compliment!

Thx! Sure, feel free to add notes concerning the firmwares, which work!

If you have other improvement suggestions please let me know or contribute yourself :)

Hi minad, hi everybody,

first of all i want to thank you, minad, very much for your awesome program - its much better for controlling my Anycubic Kossel than anything else!

I just want to let you know that i got 3Delta successfully to run under Windows 7 64bit.
First i installed tcl/tk from http://www.magicsplat.com/tcl-installer/index.html .
Then i put a copy of 3delta into C:\Program Files\Tcl86\bin and wrote a command file 3delta.cmd that contains these commands:
cd C:\Program Files\Tcl86\bin
wish.exe 3delta 192.168.NNN.NNN:23 #comment: telnet address of connected smoothieboard
exit
This way 3delta starts with a simple doubleclick on the command file, that you can also an put into the startmenu folder to save one more click ;-).

I have just one little issue:
In opposite to Pronterface the entering of G- or M-codes is case sensitive (G or M must be entered as uppercase), what took me a while to discover while i thought it wouldn't accept the standard codes - would be nice to be able to enter the codes case insensitive... :-)

Best regards
Jan

PS: Input array for hotend and bed temperature was too short here - i changed -width from 3 to 6 for ttk::spinbox $win.0.hotendTargetTemp and ttk::spinbox $win.0.bedTargetTemp with success.

@JanN-H Thank you for the kind feedback! Do you want to create a small PR regarding the following things? If not, no problem - I can do it when I have time.

• Add windows install instructions to readme
• Support case insensitive gcodes
• Increase input box sizes
